    Shinobi

    Hello! o/

    Looking to get back into the game. I played the beta and then kinda just fell out of the game, due to RL and other stuff, but now I wanna get back.

    Been looking at the youtube and watching a ton of videos on all the new stuff since I left and I gotta figure out which package of the game, I need... I would like to make sure I have access to the Shinobi, but am unsure of which game-addition I need?

    Is it possible to buy the new classes with steel, if I only go for the basic game? Will I miss out on other stuff?

    Please help a returning - former - Warlord....

    I will try to help an old comrade-in-arms with some advice:

    1- Keep the Warlord (or some hero who has a good pool of HP for now.

    2- The Game Mechanism is more accelerated in the fights. More reaction is needed.

    3- There are some Heroes that will have reworks coming out at the beginning in the coming weeks and they will be much better.

    4- Gryphon, Black Prior, Jiang Jun, Hitokiri, Warmonger, They are heroes always to be taken into account.

    If you play on a PS4 platform, we can play some games against bots and then Players, for you get used to it ...

    Played a little tonight on both Warlord and Tiandi, since I'm having trouble just grasping the game controls... it seems to me that mouse & keyboard is just not viable at all, am I wrong?

    The game looks great and the comboes are awesome, but the explanations as to HOW to do them are atrocious, nothing less! The icons make no sense and I can't find any explanations anywhere ingame, so I'm reduced to youtube, which is very little help. Really frustrating tbh

    Fell right back in love with the Warlord though so thinking I'm gonna stick with him, untill I figure out how to actually play the game...

    Shinobi was my main and I can tell you that it' is a waste of money if you invest in that hero at this point. The Shinobi has been absolute garbage ever since Patch 2.11 in 2019, every technique for that hero is easy to counter and vulnerable in every conceivable way. The attacks are too weak, the combos are too slow and useless, the side dash is guard-breakable, the sickle throw will pull you to the ground more often then help you, and literally every attack that you have is designed to get you unintentionally killed. On top of all of those weaknesses, the Shinobi has very little health and very low defense, so there is absolutely no positive for using that hero unless you're a glutton for getting destroyed by the smorgasbord of buffed up and superior heroes that you'll be fighting against.
