Hello, Ubisoft. With all respect I think I talk for almost everyone in the "for honor" comunity when I say that we would love if the new hero that is speculated to be a ninja could wield a kusari gama. It was an awesome weapon actually used in combat by ninjas and would fit perfectly. It might be a bit hard to animate but i believe it would be possible since you succesfully animated the chain on the conquerors weapon. You should be capable of creating and balancing this weapon and it would be so approciated. It would also spice up the game alot since the majority of gear currently consists of swords and axes. Thanks for your time and you listening to your comunity ubisoft. You are awesome.
I think that if they put some time into they can probably balance it. All heroes is built around the same mechanics and is fairly balanced. Giving him an absurd kit is probably easy to avoid when all attacks are blockable with parry and the range of the character's is fairly equal. The development team can probably look and judge if a character is fairly balanced alot easier than say for example lol where the true potential of characters is a lot harder to see.
