UI Improvements

- A new "Brand" filter has been added to Special Collections.

- Some information on your opponent will now be hidden in the matching lobby of Quick Battle and Ninjala Battle.
*Player Name, Ranker Icon, Official Icon, and Party Info will no longer be shown.
*They will continue to be shown in Room Battles.
*They will be shown during battle.

- Settings made during training will now be saved.
*They will be reset when you restart Ninjala.

- The "Control Type E for beginners" has been added as a preset configuration.
This is a control type configuration where Auto-Target, Reset Camera, Gum Utsusemi, and button settings have been adjusted so that new players can battle with ease.

- The post order for the Detailed Results screen under Battle History has been adjusted.
The number of drones destroyed is now at the top of the list in the Detailed Results screen.

Gum Weapon Parameter Adjustments

The Ninjala development team is dedicated to ensuring that players can enjoy a wide variety of battling styles.
After careful observation of winning percentages and popularity by gum weapon and Shinobi Cards, we have implemented a host of balance adjustments.
Pop Eye, Cerberus, Scrap Saber, Chewing V, as well as some Shinobi Cards have been powered up since they were having difficulties in battle, while Utsusemi Master and Stealing Hyena have been weakened due to their overwhelmingly high victory rates.
We hope these refinements will allow players to continue to enjoy diverse styles of play in Ninjala battles.

Pop Eye Cerberus

- Shortened the combo time of normal attacks.
- Increased damage dealt from the 3rd stage of normal attacks.
- Accelerated the occurrence of back attacks.
- Wide attacks have received the following adjustments:
Hit reaction has been altered so that your opponent will stagger greatly.
Downtime has been increased.

- Full-Throttle Field will now grant Super Armor for a period of time.
Due to its underwhelming performance, Full-Throttle Field has been powered up.
The strengthening of normal attacks means you are able to defeat opponents faster, while the improvement on back attacks makes them easier to use than before.

Plus, with Full-Throttle Field's newly added Super Armor, it is now harder for its signature healing effect to be interrupted.

Scrap Saber Chewing V

- It is now easier to chain combos with normal attacks and back attacks.
- Wide attacks have received the following adjustments:
Damage has been increased.
You will now move further when attacking.
- The following adjustments have been made to "Froggy Block":
Accelerated the occurrence of attacks.
It is now easier to pursue and attack opponents after landing a hit.
The position at which the block appears can now be separately controlled.
Pushing the left stick down will cause it to appear inside the target, while pushing it left or right will cause it to appear above the target.

The new adjustment to combos will make chaining them easier than before.


Gum Kunai

- The following adjustments have been made when using a small number of Gum Kunai:
Range has been extended.
Launch time has been sped up greatly.

- The following adjustments have been made when using a medium or large number of Gum Kunai:
Range has been extended.
Launch time has been sped up.
Increased the gap in time between launches.

They were lacking in power compared to other Gum Shoots and have therefore been powered up.


Gum Ghost

- Shortened homing time.
- Cooldown time has been extended.

Due to the added Gum Damage in the last adjustment, the ghost started spooking enemies.
Therefore, we have now toned down the scariness.


Sudden Burst

- Cost has been reduced.

Since there are many ways to neutralize S-Burst, and using it comes with its own risks, the cost of S-Burst has been reduced.


Utsusemi Master

- Cooldown time has been extended.
- Shortened the time of Gum Bind.
- Slightly extended the time between pressing the button and Utsusemi appearing.

The Utsusemi Master Shinobi Card has a very high usage rate and victory percentage.
Since it had a short cooldown time and using it came with practically no risks, we have greatly increased its cooldown time in this adjustment.
You will now need to think carefully about the right time to use it.


Ninja Sense Pro

- Cost has been reduced.

Its cost has been reduced and is now easier to use.


Two-Edged Parry

- Damage has been increased.
- Increased the damage of "Damage+".
- The following adjustments have been made to "Shockwave Damage":
Damage has been increased.
Opponents hit by the shock wave will now be blown back a greater distance than normal.

Damage dealt during a parry has been increased, so it is now easier to defeat opponents in a parry.


Gum Guard Master

- The following adjustments have been made to "S-Energy+":
Cost has been reduced.
The amount of S-Energy recovered has been increased.

- The following adjustments have been made to "Ninjutsu Gauge+":
Cost has been reduced.
Increased ninjutsu gauge rate of increase.

Its power was lacking when compared to other Shinobi Cards and has therefore been powered up.


Stealing Hyena

- The conditions for activating Stealing Hyena and Assist Codes have been made stricter.

Stealing Hyena was also a Shinobi Card with a very high usage rate and victory percentage.
Its conditions for activation were very easy to fulfill, and only a very small amount of damage was required for Stealing Hyena's effects to activate.
Therefore, Stealing Hyena will no longer take effect unless your opponent's health is less than half.
This adjustment will make it so that there are fewer chances to use Stealing Hyena.


Automatic Life Recovery

- The time between taking damage and when automatic life recovery begins has been shortened.


Behavior when a Gum Weapon is Destroyed

- When your gum weapon is destroyed while Super Armor is active, your Super Armor will now be cancelled.

You can now perform a combo when using SK8 Hammer and SUSHI Axe's Power Buster against an opponent using Super Armor.


Being Blown Away

- The time during which players are immobilized after being blown away has been extended.

Combos have been adjusted to be more stable when blowing away an opponent while experiencing a slow connection.


Other Adjustments

- Adjusted the scroll of Baiting Shark to make it easier to distinguish between enemies and allies during Team Battles.

- Adjusted some gum colors to be easier to see for people with color blindness.
 We have also made it so that similar team colors are not placed against each other.

- The time after which Room Battle lobbies disband has been extended from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
