Patch Notes 2.1.0

Changes & Updates

NPC Rework

• Shinobi squads: 87 new kits from Genin to Anbu and missing-nin, each village with its own clans and bloodlines. They unlock one technique every ten levels
• Kage: 28 kits for hopefully more thematic fights (and no Kirin on every second kage anymore lol)
• Clan heads: all 19 rebuilt with their clan's whole branch including modes
• Bosses: thematic rework similar to Kage
• Tailed beasts: raid beasts charge their Bijū Dama for 15 seconds
• Rank Bonus: NPCs lost their hidden rank bonus (up to x1.9 damage and 25% resistance). A shinobi now is as strong as a player of its level (sry that was from early development)
• Movement: shinobi from Chunin up got fixed and improved chakra control usage
• Tactics: NPCs use a technique the moment it fits (a zone when you step in or as last resort when hurt) instead of waiting for its turn
• General: NPCs need line of sight to attack you and can break out of genjutsu. All mobs now walk around jutsu walls
• Fleeing: shinobi running away blink every 10s at most (was 3), so you can catch them
• Seven Swordsmen: all seven are rare Bingo Book targets at level 600. Each uses his blade's ability and drops the blade at 20% dropchance

• Beast chakra you seal past your limit floats on you for 60s: pass it to a player or a Gedo Mazo, or it fades

• C2 dragon is faster now
• Fire Wall contact deals a sixth and Jugo Chain pulls a sixteenth of the cast (was full damage each time)
• Burns left by fire jutsus, infused tools and blades, the Lava Cloak and beast fire deal a tenth of the hit that lit them (was a flat 1 a second)
• Bone Wall, Energy Construction, Lava Congealing and Great Fireball ground fire scale with stats instead of flat damage
• Crimson Bind no longer uses up the blood pressure, so Exploding Blood Touch can follow it
