Ninjutsu only increases the Shinobi’s hack attack, not their crush damage.
However, the tooltip for the ability states “increases the shinobi’s attack” so this would infer a dmg boost to both hack and crush dmg values.
Trigger Event:
-
Repro Steps:
Pick any japanese god
Make shinobi
Use “Ninjutsu” ability and compare hack dmg and crush dmg values with and without the dmg boost
I am not so sure about that. As it stands, shinobi (due to this “bug”) destroy buildings in almost the same time as samurai - while it is explicitly stated that they are strong vs buildings.
If ninjutsu increased crush dmg for shinobi, they would at least have a purpuse as anti-building units that actually perform better than samurai…
And besides that, I dont see this unit in many games anways, even if the devs intended for this ability to not increase crush dmg, they should still take a look at the unit itself, its rather lackluster atm.
Mmm. Shinobis can raid easily villager in a mine, they are super fast, invisible and can kill a lot of archers. Honestly i prefer that the enemy never create them. I think they are a tier S because they are very fast, kill villagers faster than cavalry and sneak between my cavalry if i try to defend my villagers, their explosive speed is super good.
Shinobi should destroy buildings much faster than samurai, after all they are intended to be used vs archers and buildings. But in reality they are only slightly faster at killing buildings compared to samurai. And its most likely because of the ninjutsu bug that doesnt increase their crush dmg.
