Yashiro Azuki and Ninja Skills

the Yashiro Azuki collab event returns next week, and Ninja Skills are planned to be added in april.
you can view them in the livestream video from today.

apparently you need to craft a ninja scroll by using 3 other weapons as materials. the scroll will get stats based on the weapon's power and skills based on weapon type?
the scroll must be equipped to the sub-weapon slot to use the skills inscribed in the scroll.

there's also a cheap but slow skill that activates a ninja technique at random.
so far they showed a shurriken attack, a clone attack and fire, water, earth, wind and lightning style.

 

Looking forward to sacrificing 3 +S 2s weapons to get the most op ninja scroll

 

Ima just sacrifice 3 barehand weapon for it. ^_^

 

"sell ninja set 100k" flashbacks

 

So weapons are 1h, katana, staff and md.
With staff and MD, md is automatically shit.

Which of the three is worth it for ninja? Is ninja INT based or DEX based?

I like the setup style gameplay.

 

ninja md would be good if that skill tree is not high oriented str (md can reach both 4k atk/matk with great speed while staff can go 5k atk/matk low speed but can be cure by GSW)

 

I hope its stats adjusts according to the mainhand weapon

Like it it's staff it would be nice if the skills are based on Matk and Int
Rather than physical skills on a mage which would make it purely for utility only :/

If the skills are good and fun to use and are legit useful, I might actually continue playing Burst Mage

 

Reason I say that is because hybrid builds have no real place in the game. Yes MD is fast and has good enough range to setup a decoy shot but really, who's gonna have time for gimmicks when you run through MP so fast with Impact > Smite?

That's what happened with Dark Power Skills. Lv4 released, they just bunged the t4 dark skill on an Impact > Smite Combo.

 

Katon,suiton, doton, etc is categorized as magic damage in iruna so maybe INT, except raiton when using katana, it a new thing and ig it physcal damage. Iruna magic ninja stat INT-AGI-DEX-VIT, Physical ninja stat AGI-CRT-STR.

 

So 1h or staff. Or maybe it's stat scaled according to main weapon? Who knows...

 

before you go too much into the details, consider this:
when has anything in this game ever been like it used to be in iruna?

 

Yeah, but given Toram's trend, I think we can agree that with both MD and staff available as main weapons, MD is garbage for ninja

 

md is quite great now along with dark skill and finale 4x radius (very high mp sustain without resorting maximizer)

for current meta for me staff vs main md would like this

stationary
staff>md

high agile boss/mass kill
md>staff

 

It's just a reference, I don't think any of it is 100% true. Moreover, the agility and critical stats are not very useful in toram
