Break Attack

A **Break Attack** is an attack type that can be performed in battle by pressing the  Button.It does very little damage, but the focus is on something else: If an opponent is using a Gum Guard or a S-Burst, Break Attack will Gum Bind the opponent. This gives player a great advantage to finish off opponents effectively. Using a Break Attack against a S-Burst not only binds opponents but also breaks their weapon, forcing them to recraft their weapon once their are unbind, unless they get knocked out.

Every weapons Break Attack generally is executed very slowly. If it hits an opponent the opponent takes a small amount of damage and will be launched. It adds up a great percentage amount to the Down Value. The launch can be implemented into a combo. For example, if an opponent is near a wall or corner, a Break Attack can send the opponent to the wall, resulting into a wall splat, allowing safer combos. Landing another Break Attack increases the Down Value to 100%. Consequently, the opponent flies away and has invulnerablity frames until they inputted an action or land on the ground. For the attacker this is most likely disadvantageous because it stops the combo before knocking down the opponent. Therefore Break Attack has to be used cautiously.

Note: Any attack in general increases the Down Value when landing, but Break Attacks deal comparably a ton.

Landing a Break Attack on Gum Guard or S-Burst leads to a Gum Bind. While being bound opponents can't move, or in general can't do anything for a short period of time, leaving them vulnerable. Depending on the size of the Gum Guard bubble the bind duration even differs. The bigger the bubble the longer it lasts. If a Break Attack hits an opponent in a Gum Bind state, they will be freed. Therefore the attacker has to be careful and pay closer attention. However sometimes this behaviour can be utilized for a strategy, for example, if another opponent wants to steal the kill.

## Differences in Weapons

With Punch Type Weapons multiple variants of Break Attacks were introduced: simmilar to standard attacks a direction input combined with the  Button results into 3 different Break Attacks.

* no direction or up +  Button = default Break Attack, as described above.
* left or right direction +  Button = Side Break Attack
* down direction +  Button = Wide Break Attack

Side and Wide Break Attack have aditional or even different properties than the default Break Attack.

The Side Break Attack of Punch Type A Weapons for instance deals additional Gum Damage whereas its Wide Break, when successfully excecuted, results into an instant IPPON, no matter how much health the opponent has left. Punch Type B Weapons have a standard like attack set on Side Break Attack. Two consecutive Side Break Attacks perform a combo. The Wide Break Attack has the ability to counter upcoming attacks.

Last Ninja Standing

*"Battle until you're the last ninja standing!"*

**Last Ninja Standing** is a Featured Battle that debuted in Season 7. The game mode is extremely similar to regular Battle Royale, except players are permanently out of the match once they are KO'ed or IPPONed. The battles will always take place on WNA Academy, and players who venture too far from the center of the stage will be damaged.

## Gaining Points

In this mode gaining points is actually not the cruicial factor. As the name suggests, the goal is to be the last survivor. Once a player is knocked down there is no respawn, so there is a last player. Besides, there is also a time counter set to 240 seconds. This is where the points do play a great role. If there are mulitple players left at the end the one with the most points wins the match.

To get points its not different from the Battle Royale mode. Getting drones and knocking out opponents increases the players score.

## Damage Area

After 45 seconds have past the announcer anounces an upcoming Damage Area. An yellow marked Area tells where the Damage Area appears. Additionally a warining sign appears on the screen. 15 seconds later the yellow area turns into a purple one. Entering the Damage Area the players life gradually decreases. When the timer hits 105 the process repeats resulting into an even smaller battlefield to fight.

## Spectator Mode

After being knocked out, a spectator mode is entered. Simmilar to Room Battles the match can be observed. The difference though is that it is not possible to switch cameras, its only possible to watch the player who knocked one out. There is the option to leave the match.
Gen'unsai

**Gen'unsai** (spelled **Genunsai** in the 2D Cartoon Anime) is Genryusai's twin brother and also Kappei's grandfather that lives in Iga of Oedo.

However, there are several differences to be noted, one being the two noticeable bottom teeth he has. He also does not wear a hat like his twin does, letting his much more wild hair go freely instead. He also has a much more energized personality, compared to his reserved twin.

Pow Wow Cannon

The **Pow Wow Cannon** is a weapon in *Ninjala*. It is part of the Punch Type B subclass.

## Description

*"A gum weapon that is specialized for shooting from far away. It will become more powerful depending on how long you hold the attack button to charge." -In-game description*

## Additional Data

TBA

## Tips

The key to this Weapon Type is the Charge- and S-Energy-Management.

Every action the weapon has, except the Normal or Charge Shot, is inputable with the Break Attack Button. This allows the player to charge a shoot while doing other actions. Even a Gum Shoot can be fired with the Break Attack Button. If an action, for example Back Break Attack, ends the player can follow up with a Charge Shot. The requirement though is that the action takes the same or more time than charging a shot. This makes the weapon unique because the player needs to think about charging.

Performing Charge Shots costs S-Energy. Therefore the player has to keep that in mind as well. Collecting Shinobi Orbs, successfully using a Wide Break Attack, using the Ability Rapid Charge by holding the Special Button and Gum Morphing helps to recover S-Energy faster.

Normal, Charge and Special Attack ignores S-Burst as they are flying projectiles. Back Break Attack does not ignore S-Burst and the player ends up in a Parry. If an opponent uses Back Attack, using Back Break Attack can end in a Parry Situation since it has a homing property.

A Stage 2 Normal Attack (Stage 1 Charge Attack) can be performed after the first Back Break Attack, since the time it takes to charge the attack is as long as a Back Break Attack takes. Similarly can a Stage 3 Normal Attack (Stage 2 Charge Attack) be performed after the second Back Break Attack. Keep in mind though that the two Back Break Attacks do not connect, meaning it's possible that the opponent can perform an action between the two attacks.

The Special, Thunder Cannon, can be very helpful for Third-Partying. If two opponents are in a Parry it is possible to shoot at them through the Parry. Keep in mind that a Parry gives the participants invulnerability frames when clashing weapons. Thunder Cannon can also go through Specials, Gum Shoots and Gum Ninjutsus such as Fujiyama Rocket to steal kills but it has to be timed correctly. It can also go through swings of the Punishing Blade. Thunder Cannon can go through walls to steal a Drone or Kills.

It is possible to even counter Gum Shoots and Break Attacks with Wide Break Attack. After a successful Wide Break Attack it is possible to counter an upcoming attack, though the frame window is very small (the timing is very strict).
Ninja Calibur

The **Ninja Calibur** is a weapon in *Ninjala*. It is part of the Board Type B subclass.

## Description

*"A heavyweight weapon that's effective in aerial combat. Can fire waves that neutralize gum shoots." -In-game description*

## Trivia

* In the in-game description of the Legend Calibur skin, there is a typo; "Gum with an RPG hero motif." is incorrect, as "a" is supposed to be used instead of "an".

## Overview

In the year 2020, WNA researchers Burton, Berecca, and Ron prepare to run tests to create a working prototype for Ninja-Gum. After Burton accidentally introduces Goro's bell into the formula, the lab machine explodes and a successful batch is created. The crew's excitement is short-lived however, as Ron reveals himself as a double agent and attempts to assassinate Burton. The two engage in a fight where Burton emerges victorious with the aid of the Ninja-Gum.

After the fight, Burton explains that the Ninja-Gum is actually a form of weapons technology to Berecca, to which she scolds him for keeping a secret. The two are interrupted however when they suddenly turn into children as a side-effect of the Ninja-Gum, shocking them both. After getting new clothes, Berecca claims that they must enter Ninjala to return to normal.

Gum Grenade

**Gum Grenade** is a Gum Shoot that when launches takes the form of a spiky bubble. When the bubble hits anything, or has been in the air for 2 seconds, it splinters off in a wide area for another 2 seconds, hitting once every half-second. Pressing the Gum Guard button at any time during its flight will detonate it, causing it to splinter off early. The splinters may be hard to see in a frantic battle. Its range, with a good arc as it is effected by gravity, is about 7 orange squares. Getting hit by the bubble deals damage as well as Gum Damage. The splinters also deal gradually gum damage, which even cannot be guarded.

Medium sized Gum Grenade splintering.For the following paragraph, we will assume you have no Gum Damage increasing Shinobi Cards or alike equipped. The more S-Energy you have, the bigger the bubble is, having a greater blast radius.

* The spliters of a small sized Gum Grenade (1-3 Units of S-Energy) cover slightly more than 1 orange square (6 purple squares). It takes 5 splinters to Gum Bind. Notice how it takes 5 splinters to bind, but the shot only does 4. With a direct hit on the initial shot, it only takes the initial hit and 2 splinters.

* The spliters of a medium sized Gum Grenade (4-7 Units of S-Energy) cover about 1.5 orange squares (8 purple squares). It takes 4 splinters to Gum Bind. With a direct hit on the initial shot, it only takes the initial hit and 1 splinter.

* The spliters of a large sized Gum Grenade (8-10 Units of S-Energy) cover about 2 orange squares (10 purple squares). It only takes 3 splinters to Gum Bind. A direct hit on the initial shot instantly binds the opponent.

## Priority

   The priority of Gum Grenade is pretty low. It is ranked below Gum Net and above Gum Kunai. The priority also cannot get any better through a greater size than the opposing Gum Shoot, but also not weaker. So a large Grenade cannot win against a small Gum Net but a small one can counter Gum Kunai. Also Gum Ghost cannot counter a Grenade. The splinters after landing or being detonated cannot get wiped out and igore Gum Guard.

### Versus other Projectile Attacks

*The projectile attack priority list can be found here.*

As the priority within Gum Shoots is already low there is nothing much a Grenade can do against Projectile Attacks as they are generally stronger. The only projectiles Grenade can counter are lowest ranked ones, Sound Bullets of Hammer Type B weapons, Normal Attack Stage 1 and Break Attacks of Punch Type B weapons. Also the exceptional specials Thunder Cannon, Cannon Bomber and Fiery Raid cannot hinder a Grenade.

## Weapons

* Drill Beast
* Sushi Axe
* Ninja Calibur

## Patch History

### Version 9.0

* ▲ Hit detection range of the ejected grenade has been increased.
* ▲ Shortened the time between explosion damage hits.

### Version 10.1

* ▼ [Medium size] Decreased gum damage for direct hits

Piercing Mixer

**Piercing Mixer** is a type of Gum Ninjutsu in *Ninjala*. It is a mixing bowl full of gum that, when activated, fires a ray of gum that can pierce through walls.

The Ninjutsu is a multi-hit attack and thus gradually deals damage to opponents and Drones. Attacked opponents do not suffer hit stun. During activation, targets can be seen through walls. The user is vulnerable throughout the entire usage, so the right spot and moment is very crucial. In case an opponent is conspicuously approaching the Ninjutsu can be canceled earlier by pressing the button again.

## Weapons

The following is a list of weapons that come equipped with Piercing Mixer:

* Scroll Blade
* Ninja Yo-yo
* Chewing V

## Additional Data

*Current as of Season 8.*

* Damage: 19 per hit (50 hits in total, 950 damage in total)
* Duration: 7 seconds

## Patch History

### Version 6.0

* ▲ Drones will now be visible through walls when active.

### Version 9.0

* ▲ Drones that appear will now be visible through walls when active.
* ▲ Behavior can now be interrupted when active.
* ▲ Increased damage, and shortened active duration of attacks. (same total damage as before)

## Tips

### Using Piercing Mixer

* It is best to aim at crowds of people, especially if they are around drones.
* It is best to get space away from opponents, as Piercing Mixer can be interrupted by an attack.
* In Team Battle, on stages such as W.N.A. Academy and Croissant Arena, it is recommended to have at least one player with a weapon that has Piercing Mixer to take advantage of Big Kabuki Team Drone spawn positions near the end of a match. Using Mixer to a team's advantage can score multiple drones in a short time period, and can even swing a match.

### Versus Piercing Mixer

* Never attack a Piercing Mixer user from the front; they will not get hit and you will take the brunt of the damage, potentially getting IPPON'ed in the process. Instead, attack from the back, use a long-ranged attack, or use a Gum Ninjutsu to disrupt the Piercing Mixer user,
* Piercing Mixer has priority over all Gum Shoots, meaning that they will disappear on contact with Mixer.

Gumball Machine

The **Gumball Machine** is an in-game gacha system that provides the player with weapons skins and rare exclusive cosmetics. It can be accessed from the shop menu.

## Information

As a gacha machine, the Gumball Machine will give the player a random selection of weapon skins per pull. A single pull will give ten weapon skins. There are two types of machines, the first one is the **Pickup Gumball Machine** and the second one the **Coin Gacha Gumball Machine**. The difference between these machines is the payment method. A single pull on the Pickup machine will cost 100 Jala, but the player can also use 300 Gold Medals instead. For the Coin Gacha machine 10 Gumball Machine Coins per pull are needed. Alternatively 1000 Silver Medals can be inserted.

Both Gumball Machines also have a special cosmetic set (usually a costume and headgear paired together) that the player has a possibility of obtaining on the first draw of a pull. The item set, referred to in-game as the "Pickup", changes throughout the season and there will be a notification whenever a new pickup is available. Both machine types have distinct sets of items, meaning they are exclusive to their type. So, a specific item cannot be pulled from both types of machines. These special items will always have a 5.00% chance of being dropped, but only on the first draw. A special version of the opening cutscene will play if the item drops, letting players know immediately whether or not they got it. Special items can not be obtained again after dropping once, meaning duplicates are not an issue.

Drop probabilities can be viewed via the Lineup menu, which can be accessed by pressing the X button. The probabilities displayed are rounded to the nearest third decimal place, and as such they do not total exactly 100% when combined.

It is not possible to obtain the Pickup items in any other way, including the Shinobi Shop.

## Pickup Data

The Lineup of the Pickup items are listed in a specific Section "Gumball Machine Pickups" within the Season article.

Jala

**Jala**  is a premium currency in *Ninjala* and the primary currency used for a majority of items in the game. It is used to buy items in the in-game Shinobi Shop, to have a go at the Gumball Machine, among other uses. Jala can also be used to purchase the Ninjala Pass itself, which allows further access to outfits and emotes that aren't available in the shop. Most cosmetics, emotes, and stickers can only be obtained by purchasing them with Jala.

## Usage

* Purchasing cosmetic items such as Costumes and Stickers in the Shinobi Shop
* Try a chance at the Gumball Machine.
* Purchase the Ninjala Pass or Ninjala Pass Mini.
* Skip Tiers for 100 Jala each.
* Retry the Shinobi Challenge

## Expiration (Japan Only)

Jala is organized separately in the game as free Jala and paid Jala, but there is fundamentally no difference between the two and they are counted together as a single currency. The reason of this is due to a Japanese law called the *Act on Settlement of Funds*, which requires all purchased virtual currency in games to have an expiration date. Because of this, Jala purchased from the Japanese eShop has a set expiration of 150 days. This has no effect on Jala purchased outside of Japan, and paid Jala not purchased from the Japanese Nintendo eShop will not expire.

The user will also have Super Armor during the duration of the attack.

Hammer Type A's ability is **Iron Body**, which gives the user Super Armor for a period of time after scoring an IPPON. Its big weapon ability, **Hyper Boost**, allows the user to move faster for a period of time after building a big weapon.

**SK8 Hammer**

**Sushi Axe**

**GR8 Gear**

### Type B

Hammer Type B is the second subclass of hammers, focused on close-range combat and using sound waves to stun enemies. It is particularly unique in that it lacks a proper back attack; instead having a move that unleashes a stunning sound wave within a small radius of the player. It also provides more life and slower movement than other hammers. **Echoing Scream**, its Special, launches a large sound wave attack that stuns any foes within radius, opening them up for attack.

Hammer Type B has the **Feedback** ability, which resets Special cooldown whether the player attacks using a normal or wide attack. Its big weapon ability is **Up Tempo**, which allows the player to move faster when their Life is below a certain amount.

**Iron Noise**

**Drum Beat**

**Flamitango**

### Type C

The third subclass of hammers was introduced in Season 3. It primarily focuses on biting attacks with long reach. It features the **Full-Throttle Field** Special, which creates a barrier around the user that restores their life, as well as the life of their allies. Replenishing health will increase the user's score.

Hammer Type C's **Eat Alive** ability increases the amount of health restored by Full-Throttle Field with each opponent defeated. **Megamouth**, its big weapon ability, reduces Special cooldown.

*Shinobi no chi*

**Bloodline of the Shinobi** is the first episode of the Ninjala 2D Cartoon Anime. It features Van as the main character and focuses on the story of how he joined Genryusai on the path to becoming a ninja. It was released on June 23, 2020.

## Overview

Van is an energetic and athletically gifted youngster known for his incredible skills on the basketball court. One night, after waking from a nightmare, Van jumps on his bike and hurries across town to see his father… and arrives just in time to witness his dad being attacked by a ninja!

What will happen to Van and his father?

Why did Van decide to join the WNA and begin his ninja training?

These questions and more will be answered here in Episode 1, “Bloodline of the Shinobi”!

## Synopsis

The episode first opens up with Van playing basketball on a court with his friends, rubbing his finger under his nose after a victory. Later that evening, Van asks his mother at dinner if his dad can come to his next game, while their dog, wearing a possibly significant bell, sits under the table. However, Van's mom tells him that his dad is away for work, and Van expresses his disappointment. That night, Van awakens from a nightmare where he watches as a man in a suit who is approaching his dad takes out a gun from his jacket. His intuition telling him to investigate, Van takes off on his bike to his father's house to check on him.

As Van heads inside, his dad is outside fighting a mysterious ninja. Van's dad defeats the ninja, but not before several small fire grenades are thrown, setting the house on fire with Van trapped inside. Van's dad dives inside to save him, but when they are both trapped, Van's dad forces Ninja-Gum into his mouth and tells Van to join him. Van eats the Ninja-Gum and puts out the fire with a powerful gust of wind as his powers are awakened, destroying the room they are in as well.

Van's dad then falls unconscious and is taken to the hospital, where he is deemed to be unable to continue out on the field for a while. Van, who is unscathed, talks to his mother, who tells them that she and his dad wanted to wait until he was 12 to tell him he and his dad were ninjas so he could choose his own path in life. They are then approached by Genryusai, who tells them that the WNA will protect Van's father, but in exchange Van must become a ninja to help the world.

Van agrees and goes back to the site of the fire with Genryusai, where they find a hidden basement filled with ninja gear belonging to Van's father. There they find an old scroll written by Van's Koga-clan ancestor, explaining how ninjas used to thrive and eventually spread out into other countries. However, it states that ninjas eventually vowed to avoid conflict by never using their shinobi powers again until the world needed them. Afterward, Van and Genryusai head to the WNA HQ Building to prepare for training.

Keith – The Dainty Diner

**Keith – The Dainty Diner**

## Overview

The Ninjala Championships have begun! Burton’s friends cheer him on as he successfully gets through the preliminaries. In a different classroom, Dan is complaining about the very un-Ninja-like actions of Burton and his friends. Meanwhile, Keith exits the classroom looking to grab his next meal, however Van and Kappei stop him and challenge him to an eating contest.
Kageroh

Face

*Kagerō*

**Kageroh** is the Shadow Ninja Leader in the Ninjala manga. He seeks revenge against the WNA for banishing him, and is willing to use everything at his disposal to accomplish it. This includes making allies with the Space Ninja, Gumuo, and forsaking his son Fuma’s dreams. Kageroh predominately acts from the shadows—sending out Fuma and his teammates to do his bidding.

## Appearance

Kageroh is a muscular, staggeringly tall man that looms over anyone who stands before him. His skin is pale, while his face is gaunt and bears age lines. His eyes are sullen and often appear white and ghostly. However, he does have pupils and they are sometimes visible depending on the shot. His hair is wavy, white, and its length is about just about past his waist. It falls wildly around him and the ends of it cut off on a straight edge.

His hands are covered in dark plates and his fingertips end in large, sharp points. Before revealing himself, Kageroh wore a grimacing demon mask and a large cloak. After he reveals himself, he shows his face and opens his cloak—exposing the full set of hefty dark armor worn beneath.

## Personality

Kageroh is a calculating, secretive, and manipulative leader of the Shadow Ninja. Revenge fuels his every action and there is nothing he wouldn’t sacrifice for it. He doesn’t care about the lives of others and is willing to force people to participate in dangerous experiments that strip them of their free will. He resorts to anger and violence when things do not go his way—such as his initial revolt after his banishment or his grabbing and yelling at Fuma when he talked back.

In flashbacks before his banishment, Kageroh is shown to once have been excitable about being a ninja. He had friendly rivalry in Red Muffler and passionately researched ninja weaponry. He is also shown to have once been a supportive father to Fuma, but that presumably fell aside when revenge plans moved forward and his desire to use Fuma’s power took over.

## Trivia

* Kageroh’s and Red Muffler’s relationship is comparable to Fuma and Kappei’s. In a flashback doodle showing them as children, Red Muffler even declares him and Kageroh rivals with the exact same words Kappei said to Fuma.

On their head are presumably two cat ears that are covered by a hood. On their backs is a large, golden winding key that is constantly twisting, which implies kurokos are toy-like artificial beings rather than sentient lifeforms.

Their intents or purposes are unknown, though they can be seen cheering or messing with various objects out of bounds in stages.

## Appearance

His clothes are also very plain. In Van's nightmare in the episode, Max is spotted wearing a simple blue button-up shirt with purple stripes.

## Trivia

* He is mentioned by Genryusai in Story Mode Chapter 1.
* Max goes unnamed and referred as "dad" before Ninjala (anime).
Gum Kunai

The **Gum Kunai** is a Gum Shoot that takes the form of multiple kunai. After launching, the kunai wait a short time, hovering above the player before flying individually at the opponent. Each kunai deal small amounts of damage, Gum Damage and hit or block stun. It has a range of 7 orange squares. With no Gum Damage increasing Shinobi Cards or alike equipped, 6 kunai are needed to Gum Bind the opponent.

Large sized Gum Kunai consisting of 4 kunai.
The kunai are shown to have four small bands of gum around the handle. They have tags attached to the circular part, with a currently unknown symbol on them. The kunai have a white outline surrounding them (most likely because they would be hard to see without one), but the tags do not.

The more S-Energy the player has, the more kunai spawn:

* For 1-3 units of S-Energy (done by basically pressing the Gum Guard button and the Gum Shoot button at the same time), two kunai spawn side by side directly in front of the user.

* For 4-7 units of S-Energy, three will spawn, with one in the center and two on either side.

* With 8-10 S-Energy units, four will be spawned, with two on either side of the user.

If the user is aiming towards the ground while standing on it, it will cause the kunai to immediately disappear. If you have 4-7 S-Energy units, this may show only one kunai if the angle is just right.

The Kunai are relatively quick but have a loose homing capability, so it is comparable with Gum Launcher in that way. Having multiple instances launching towards an opponent takes the advantage of hit or block stun, similar to Gum Balloon. This makes it a great pressure tool.

## Priority

*The projectile attack priority list can be found here.*

Gum Kunai is the stronger version of Gum Balloons in terms of quantity and priority. Gum Balloons, Sound Bullets, Normal Attack Stage 1 and Break Attacks of Punch Type B weapons are the only projectile Kunai can win against. Also it goes through Gum Ghost, Thunder Cannon, Cannon Bomber and Fiery Raid.

* Iron Noise
