Overview

• Really good DPS only after immortal level 12 and various crit rate boosts
• Really good Chrono Ato battery
• Requires a lot of Wolves to summon
• Requires a lot of space to summon, 7 spaces for 4 Ninjas, 1 Wolf, 1 Paladin and 1 Demon Soldier
• High Wolf requirement clashes with Reaper Dian summon condition

Playstyle

Ghost Ninja is a Physical Damage DPS guardian.

His base ATK is fairly low among the DPS Immortals. His passive is Critical Hit-based and mainly boosted by reaching immortal level 12. His Execution and Throw skills have multipliers that are only slightly better than Rocket Chu. His ult Guillotine sounds like it is a boss killer move with its 50,000% Physical DMG on one target but Awakened Hailey’s ult actually deals 112,500% damage over its entire duration and has splash.

Ghost Ninja is rather unremarkable until immortal level 12 where he becomes a solid option. Prior to that, he is a really good battery for Chrono Ato as his awakening condition requires 5 Ninjas on the board.

How to Summon

Sacrifice one Ninja with an 11-combo from Assassinate and 4 additional Ninjas. Combos are counted based on how many times Assassinate reactivates (55% reactivation chance). Ninja’s exclusive treasure Sharp Shuriken further increases the reactivation chance of Assassinate by up to 15%. This seems trivial but when you factor the probabilities of an 11-combo, the max treasure actually increases your chance of Ghost Ninja per Assassinate from 0.14% to 1.98%. That's 14x the treasureless chance. Level 6 exclusive treasure makes it 3.7x and level 9 treasure makes it 7.4x.

On paper, it seems like Ghost Ninja is really easy to summon. You have to summon 5 Ninjas anyway to sacrifice for the immortal form. The cost of 5 Ninjas isn’t super expensive (5 epics, 10 rares). But in practice, it does take some time to get 5 Wolves, 5 Demon Soldiers and 5 Paladins. It helps to choose to summon Ghost Ninja only when you have at least 3 Wolves on the board which you plan to summon Ninjas with.

Additionally, 5 Ninjas out of 18 spots on the board is a lot of space taken up. And you actually need 7 spaces to summon the 5th Ninja (4 Ninjas + 1 Wolf + 1 Paladin + 1 Demon Soldier). This means that attempting to summon Ghost Ninja only makes more sense either in early-to-mid game when you've more space or in Hard and God with the Dungeon/Totem.
