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.
The main adjustments are the weakening of Iron Noise, Drum Beat, Mellow à la Mode, and Trick Ball, as well as the weakening of the Shinobi Card "Starting Dash", which had to be equipped.
In addition, we have also adjusted the battle system to be able, for example, to cancel by jumping and dodging when an attack misses.
We hope these refinements will allow players to continue to enjoy diverse styles of play in Ninjala battles.
| SK8 Hammer | Sushi Axe | GR8 Gear |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
・The speed of Gum Boost has been slowed.
Since its high attack power allowed drones to be destroyed too quickly, it tended to ensure higher scores than other gum weapons, especially in Team Battles.
With this adjustment, we have decreased the speed of Gum Boost in order to slow down the respawn speed of drones.
| Iron Noise | Drum Beat |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Normal attacks have received the following adjustments:
Damage has been increased.
Hit reaction has been altered so that your opponent is not blown away.
Sonic bullets have been removed.
・The attack speed of wide attacks has been increased.
・Sonic bullets will now appear for Break Attacks.
・Health has been increased.
Since Iron Noise and Drum Beat could automatically defeat an opponent without going through a Parry on S-Burst, sonic bullets have been removed from normal attacks.
From now on, it will take longer to defeat an opponent, and it will require, for example, disabling an S-Burst with a Back Attack, special sound waves, or the use of Break Attacks.
However, since the removal of sonic bullets in normal attacks has significantly weakened them, we have made other enhancements to balance this out.
Some attack power and health that were weakened last time have been restored, and sonic bullets now appear from Break Attacks to balance things out.
| Ninja Yo-yo | Shinobi Spinner | ASAKUSA Wheel |
|---|---|---|

・Accelerated the occurrence of the 2nd to the 4th stages of normal attacks.
| Mellow à la Mode | Trick Ball |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Normal attacks have received the following adjustments:
Increased the time that you and your opponent are immobilized after guarding.
After guarding, the opponent's gum is now smaller than usual.
・The time for which you are forcibly transformed with Beyond the Gum has been shortened.
Since Beyond the Gum allows you to defeat an opponent without giving them a chance to counter it, we have decided to weaken it.
With these adjustments, the time for forced transformation has been shortened, so there is a possibility to get out of the combo with plenty of health.
| Extreme Motor | DJ Scratch |
|---|---|

 |
・Fixed an issue in which when defeating an opponent with Back Attack, you wouldn't score an IPPON.
・S-Burst will no longer occur when attacking with Bumpy Accelerator.
・The attack range of Bumpy Accelerator has been increased.
| Matsuri Board | Camu Camu Plate |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Wide attacks have received the following adjustments:
Decreased the duration of hits.
・Hit detection range has been increased.
Wide attack duration when destroying a drone using Matsuri Board or Camu Camu Plate has been shortened so that it is less likely to be caught in the remaining hit detection rate.
As a follow-up to the above, wide attack's hit detection range has been slightly increased.
Dragon Lord
・The launch time of the dragon has been shortened.
・The dragon launching can now be cancelled by jumping and dodging or by using Gum Guard.
・Fixed an issue in which dragons were parried by Gum Shoots and other attacks.
Punishing Blade
・Active immobilization duration has been shortened.
Shinobi Beast
・Damage has been decreased.
・The activation of Super Armor has been delayed.
Shinobi Beast is without a doubt the strongest Gum Ninjutsu, so we have decided to tone its power down.
In Battle Royale, it is no longer possible to destroy DARUMA drones with a single blow.
We have decided to give opponents a chance to counterattack by delaying the activation of Super Armor in battle.
Shinobi Disco
・The attack range of other players' Shinobi Disco has become more noticeable.
Wall Shooter
・Due to the effect of Reduced Cooldown, the cooldown of Gum Shoots has been shortened.
Life Drain
・Reduced negative effects when life recovery rate is slowed down.
Starting Dash
・Added the negative effect of slowing down the recovery speed of S-Energy.
Currently, Starting Dash is an indispensable Shinobi Card for all gum weapons, and the degree of freedom to choose Shinobi Cards is limited.
So we have decided to weaken it in order to have the option of removing Starting Dash.
To compensate for the powerful effect of being able to easily make big weapons at the beginning of the match, S-Energy recovery speed has been slowed down, and adjustments have been made to increase the chances of exhaustion even around the end of the match.
Last Spurt
・Due to the effect of Reduced Cooldown, the cooldown of Gum Shoots has been shortened.
Battle Adjustments
The following adjustments have been made to reactions when attacked.
・Shortened the immobilization time of big hits.
* A big hit is a reaction that occurs when you are hit by a wide attack from Pop Eye.
・When an attack from any gum weapon misses, it can now be canceled by jumping or dodging.
With the exception of some powerful attacks, cancelling allows many attacks to be countered by jumping or dodging when they miss.
・There will be an upper limit of character movement speed so that the character doesn't surpass this upper limit in case of receiving multiple movement speed increases.
The following adjustments have been made to Battle Royale drones.
・Drones that took the longest to appear will now appear sooner.
Battle Royale drones have three appearance time patterns.
The drones that appeared the latest will now appear earlier.
This adjustment is to prevent score gaps from widening too significantly when some players cannot get to drones.
From now on, we will keep an eye on whether the tactic of raising scores by destroying only drones without defeating opponents becomes too strong.
Resolution of Known Issues
・Fixed an issue in which auto-proximity would activate with opponents who were not subject to auto-proximity when performing specific actions.
・Fixed an issue in which Gum Bind was unintentionally activated when Pop Eye, Cerberus or the Shinobi Card "Master of Change" were equipped and a specific action was performed.
・Various adjustments and bug fixes have been implemented to ensure a smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience.
* Updating to Ver 7.0 is mandatory for all players.
* To download the update, sufficient free space is required in your console’s internal storage or an installed microSD card.
* All information is accurate as of the time of posting.
