New Research in the Ninja Gum Lab!

In Season 11, you can now unlock Ninja-Gum Lab-exclusive Ninja-Gum in addition to the usual parameter bonuses!

This unique, exclusive Ninja-Gum won't be used up when you use it!

UI Improvements

・Your opponents' levels will now be hidden in Ninjala Battle (Free Matches), Featured Battle, Ninjala Tournament, and Shinobi Challenge.
 *Your opponents' levels will still be visible in Ranked Matches and Room Battle.

・You can now change Options from the Menu while in a party.
 *This includes party voice chat settings.

・Party members will now also see the "Matching in progress..." notification.

・You can now try on items in your Cart from the Cart screen while shopping at the Shinobi Shop.

Goddess's Fountain Adjustments

・The maximum EXP Bonus has been raised from 10% to 100%.
・The EXP Bonus is now 10% per medal tossed in.

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 by each gum weapon and weapon popularity, we have implemented a host of balance adjustments.

These adjustments focus on reducing the currently overwhelming power of SK8 Hammer, Sushi Axe, and GR8 Gear, as well as strengthening some Alter Specials that felt underpowered.

We hope these refinements will allow players to continue to enjoy diverse styles of play in Ninjala battles.

IPPON Katana Scroll Blade Shinobuzz Paper Fan

・Razor Edge will now pierce players and drones.

Razor Edge was a little underpowered compared to Charging Slash, which has Super Armor.
By allowing it to pierce drones and hit opponents on the other side, it now offers different strengths than Charging Slash.

Scrap Saber Chewing V

・The following adjustments have been made to "Ring Chop":
 Expanded attack range.
 Sped up jump and dodge cancel timings after an attack misses.

While powerful when countering an opponent's attack, Ring Chop didn't have quite enough range to start an offense, so it has been strengthened.
Furthermore, you should now be able to react faster after missing an attack.

SK8 Hammer Sushi Axe GR8 Gear

・The active duration of Iron Body has been shortened.
・The following adjustments have been made to "Super Strength Strike":
 Slowed the occurrence of attacks.
 Slowed the speed of projectiles.
 Reduced the size of the blast.

SK8 Hammer types have exceptional scoring capabilities and have had high usage and win rates since before Alter Specials were introduced.
However, the introduction of Alter Specials gave a significant boost to their offensive capabilities, causing their usage and win rates to jump even higher.
In response to this, the "Super Strength Strike" Alter Special has been weakened.
Since it was difficult to dodge, its activation time and the speed of its projectiles have been slowed to allow it to be dodged more easily.
Once a player activated Iron Body, it was difficult to stop them, allowing their team to take a commanding lead. To prevent this, the active duration has been shortened.

Pop Eye Cerberus

・The attack range of Dragon God Motor has been expanded.

Because the cooldown time after using Dragon God Motor is so long, its attack range has been expanded to allow you to more consistently hit your opponent.

Mellow à la Mode Trick Ball

・The following adjustments have been made to "Golden March":
 Increased the movement range.
 Expanded attack range.
 Attack detection has been moved forward, making it easier to hit with.

We strengthened Golden March so that even more players can glitter like gold!


Tenchi Muyo

・Expanded attack range.

It was difficult to hit with this ninjutsu unless it was centered right on your opponent. Its attack range has been expanded to make it easier to use.

Punishing Blade

・By spending 6 S-Energy when you are hit with an attack, you can now activate an S-Blast and send your opponent flying.

Getting hit by an opponent could cause you to waste your valuable ninjutsu.
By using S-Energy, you can now counterattack and possibly prevent a situation where your ninjutsu is wasted.
But be careful! If you don't have enough S-Energy, you won't be able to use the S-Blast.

Shinobi Beast

・By spending 6 S-Energy when you are hit with an attack, you can now activate an S-Blast and send your opponent flying.

Like with Punishing Blade, you can also now spend S-Energy to counterattack your opponent.
Again, if you don't have enough S-Energy, you won't be able to use the S-Blast.


Energy Hoarder

・The following adjustments have been made to "Life Recovery":
 Amount of life recovered has been increased.
 Cost has been reduced.

・The following adjustments have been made to "Movement Speed+":
 Active duration has been extended.
 Cost has been reduced.

・The following adjustments have been made to "Ninjutsu Gauge+":
 Increased ninjutsu gauge rate of increase.
 Increased cost.

All Assist Codes have been strengthened to make them more usable.
The ninjutsu gauge rate of increase has gone up substantially, but so has the cost.

Turnabout Guard

・The following adjustments have been made to "Turnabout Guard":
 The activation conditions are now less strict, allowing it to be used even when you have only taken a small amount damage.
 Improved the reduction to damage and gum damage.

Because of the strict activation conditions, it was difficult to make use of Turnabout Guard if you weren't using a gum weapon with a lot of life.
The amount of life reduction needed to activate it has been greatly reduced, so it can now be used with more gum weapons.
Its effects once activated have been improved, especially the reduction to gum damage, meaning you will now be more difficult to Gum Bind.


Resolution of Known Issues

・Fixed an issue that caused only the player equipped with Two-Edged Parry to take damage when using its S-Burst.
・Various adjustments and bug fixes have been implemented to ensure a smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience.
* Updating to Ver 11.0 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.
