no katana?Word reached that Yamato of The 7th Moon had some how survived the coup and plans to rebuild his organization in America from help of the Patron, granted from a wish. It was seen as an insult to one's who had plotted the crime lord's downfall; they wanted that wish and he was unfinished business.
A single assassin was chosen. The heir of the Secret Scroll.
No name. No face. Only a mission.
They don't question orders. They don't seek reward.
Their only purpose, to cross the ocean to complete the Ritual and end Yamato.

Secret Arts



Activating grants access to a verity of arts that requires you to create single lined symbols. Completing the gesture replaces the Secret Art hot key for a limited time to use (similar like Sin Clair when stealing). Each with their own cool down and no ability upgrade.

Limited Duration: 10 seconds
Cool down: 9 seconds
Power Slash: A stolen art of the 7th moon, channel to over 1.4 seconds, then release a sword strike. Has increased range and always deals full charged damage. Damage is in an arc/cone instead of a straight line.
Umbrella: Summons an umbrella at a fixed height that slowly tracks the closest opponent's position as it rains down nails that deal spirit damage over 8 seconds
Crescent Slash: A stolen art of the 7th moon, originally Kaori's, slash enemies in front of you, healing yourself and deal extra damage depending how many heroes were hit. Strike as a straight line instead of a cone/arc.
Smoke Bomb: Drop a smoke bomb at your feet that covers an area. Similar to Counter-Strike.
Fireworks(1): Fire 2 homing-rockets to the nearest visible enemy heroes within the radius.Fireworks(2): Fire 3 rockets over 3 seconds that come crashing down towards Ninja, dealing spirit damage in an aoe and lowering weapon accuracy by 100%.
Snake Bind: Unleash a group of snakes in a cone that slow for 40%, dealing extra spirit damage on healthy heroes, stuns for .89 seconds if their slow is purged (stun is blocked by Unstoppable and Shadow Transformation / Players who cast Divine Barrier to remove the slow from an ally are the ones who become stunned)
Lightning Bolt: Strike down an area with Lightning from the sky, dealing spirit damage and causing knock back.
Teleport base: After 8 second channel, teleport back to base 122 CD
Vortex: Spin in place for 5 seconds causing you to pull enemies within range to the center towards you and are knocked into the air when the duration ends.
Kunai : gain 3 Kunais that can slows their target once for 100% that gradually returns to normal over 2 seconds, 8 second launch time. The last Kunai will pull you and the target closer together, up to 35% of the distance between you and your target.
Fire Blast: Blast a breath of fire out from your mouth, enemies caught are knocked back and burn for 8 seconds
Kamikaze : After a 4 second channel, blow yourself up, dealing massive area of effect spirit damage. More damage is dealt to players who are closer to Ninja when they explode. Ninja respawn time is reduced by 50% when at least 1 enemy is killed by this ability.
Caltrops: Drop barb spikes that your feet that damages enemies over time based on their current HPI would like Disarm / Utilities / Animals but I think I am at my break point.



other examples of symbols, let your imagination go wildEXTRA:


Holding jump hot key in the air disarms Ninja but they will float in the air for some time or till canceled. More of a joke mechanic because Mina has something better and wall running seems to be an idea for another hero in mind. Maybe if they wanted to add his own rng wind mechanics that drift them randomly up down left right...
Thoughts and finishes
I hope it was straight forward and inspiring to read. Hero ideas are actually quite difficult, especially trying to imagine how things might or might not work in Deadlock's engine. The ultimate came to me when I was rereading my Invoker posts and some of the normal abilities were greatly matched with stuff I could reference. Throughout the planning, I changed up abilities and took some mechanics originally for Ninja and I decided they would be best for another hero idea instead, which I plan on working on. Over all I am pleased with the "Ninja" and hope you were too!
Thank you for reading. Always be creating, to inspire and motivate others around.
The reveal of Ninja!
