Tip for ninja: if you put one point into all of its prerequisites, and 2 points into ninjutsu mastery, then you get the ninja that has the highest chance of success for everything: sabotage, assassin, sabotage armies. The downside is that unlike a specialized saboteur, his actions won't be free, and the killing-focused ninja has a higher critical chance. If you have huge amounts of money, like the Otomo and Shimazu, the Ninjutsu mastery ninja is easily the best choice.
Yeah, this guide is aimed for somewhat newer players, so that's why I gave my recommendation to go into full saboteur. But ninjutsu mastery is also a good option. A killing focused ninja is also a good option. Free saboteurs are also a good option :P
Forgot to mention: another downside of the ninjustsu mastery path is that until you hit level 6, the ninja isn't nearly as good at doing most stuff than other ninja. Ideally when going for this you have at least a Burakumin village or an infamous mizu shobai or ideally both.
@@brainwasher9876 Yeah, but at that point, you probably don't need to have that powerful ninja's anyway :P But it's sure as hell nice to be able to just recruit high level agents.
You missed the most important skill of ninja: increase movement of your army. The effect get stronger as level increases, as well as the 2nd tree: Master of Disguise and Invisible (also a retainer). The effect also stack as you can at most put 3 ninjas into one army. Movement is the most vital trait on Legendary, and the reason why generals need 3 levels of strategist: +30% movement. Combine this with 3 ninjas with Master of Disguise, you can boost your movement +100% or more (combined with upgraded roads). Sabotaging army to buy more time for your own army to show up, is costly and prone to failure. Having your army able to run across the map to defend a key location is the better alternative.
I may indeed have overlooked the utility of the increased movement range, but I'm not really sure if it's worth it to put ninja's in armies. Yes movement speed is important, but information on enemy locations as well. I personally value knowing where my army needs to go in advance than trying to react. So it's basically a reactive vs preventive approach. I originally had a small bit included about the scouting ability, but I eventually (perhaps mistakenly) cut it for time.
Hello everyone! Sorry it took so long to publish a new video. I sadly had some real life issues to deal with (and still have to deal with) which slowed down production to a crawl. Hopefully most of my personal issues have been remedied and I can slowly start to ramp up production to previous levels. I hope you enjoy the video!
The ninja has a 'shield' when he's undetected. If he fails a mission while undetected, he won't die, but just becomes detected. Watch for enemy metsuke! The easiest way to rank up your 1 star ninja, aside from killing monks, is to sabotage low level castle gates. This is usually cheap and have high chance of succeeding if there isn't any metsuke or a big army inside the castle, and rewards the same xp as succeeding any other action.
Finally, you made video covering the agent. Can't wait for the others too. Like you said about ninja can assassinate monks effectively and metsuke can effectively apprehend ninja. Between those three agents, it's basically works like Rock,Paper,Scissors, Ninja
You can also use your ninja to scout for your armies, thereby increasing vision and movement range, can be really useful for moving armies where they are needed.
Another guy also commented that you can even stack those bonuses to get insane movement speed. But I personally still prefer to just have my ninja's outside of my armies for better vision. ;)
A little note on the ninja sabotage. Sabotaged armies not only don't move, they keep getting damaged by attrition, not just in winter. Which means that if you got a good ninja, you can easily just keep an army on lockdown for a handful of turn, and just overwhelm the enemy army with Yari/Yumi Ashigaru armies raised in the same province in human wave style assaults. It doesn't matter how many times you loose and get the Ashigaru massacred, you can always raise more, and the enemy won't go anywhere, and they won't replenish either, every loss for them is permanent.
Army sabotage and using them as a scout is the most imperative actions. Sometimes assassins river enemy agents. The rare general assassination. Eg before a crucial battle where you need their morale debuffed, or when you’re versing the A.I’d mid game doomstacks with thsie 4-6 star generals. But to kill them you need at least a 4 star ninja specialising in assassination. Army sabotage can help save your legendary campaigns. 1 whole turn of safety is a lot.
Best strategy is to have 4 ninjas and have them specialize in one thing, as opposed two four ninjas who are average at everything. I do this. 1) my best assassin. 2) two ninjas that just sabotage armies. 3 ) And one that is great at increasing one armies movement points/detection.
Ahhh... I do miss Shogun 1, where you could just play as the Shimazu, conquer Kyushu, then recruit Ninja Geisha and then just murder every member of ever other clan and just mop up the rebels. The cut sceens for those angels of death were just so funny.
going to disagree on the second half. with Metsuke on town generating extra money I often find it best to get army sabotage 1st and assassination 2nd. assassination allows you to get rid of the enemy's spies, monks, and generals before a battle to weaken your enemy army.
Honestly, the ninja is such a great agent that you can't really go wrong with him. But in general I still think going down the left side is more efficient in the long run, although I do generally have one or maybe 2 ninja's focused on assassination.
Wow I never knew that sabotaged armys can't support other army's And thank you for your videos, I played a lot better since I watched you Do you play with mods or can you recommend some?
I'd always max assassination on my first ninjas (and most others) being able to wipe out gens from armies is even better than freezing them in place, plus it's cheaper and iirc better odds. Plus playing hattori you get night fighter anyway so who cares about reinforcements.
To Level up ninja you can send them to Kyoto where they can kill level 1 monks or Generals or sabotaging buildings. Ashikaga Shogunate Will NEVER declare war on you unless you trigger Realm Divide
I appreciate the time you took to make the video but I've watched it 6 times and still dont know what the hell, between your accent and the speed you talk I can't comprehend a single bit of knowledge.. but thanks though I guess

So glad that your amazing videos have returned :D
Me too! Glad you enjoy them :)
That sabotage failed was a fitting end hahahaha

Thanks for the video and I really hope you can deal with those issues 🤗 Again, thanks for your dedication in your content and wish the best for ya :D
Well it's okay. Take your time to deal with your issue first man. I prefer quality over quantity.
Hope you're doing ok man.

Yup, experience is gained on just completing actions, not determined by the difficulty of that action.
i recommend spending all points into "this isn't x-com! stop failing 95% chances!" ability
What do you mean? Ninja's are certainly X-COM soldiers. The way they manage to miss easy targets are astounding :P
Finally, you made video covering the agent. Can't wait for the others too. Like you said about ninja can assassinate monks effectively and metsuke can effectively apprehend ninja. Between those three agents, it's basically works like Rock,Paper,Scissors, Ninja
I like the system, especially since each rock paper and scissor also have completely different toolsets in the game.
Failed to sabotage at the last Scene.
Daimyo: YOU HAD ONE JOB!
That's why you always have backup ninja's xD
You can also use your ninja to scout for your armies, thereby increasing vision and movement range, can be really useful for moving armies where they are needed.

Definitely better to sabotage while in an enemies territory during winter.
Note about sabotaging castle gates is that it means no units can be recruited in that town.
It's pretty nice to be able to do that to the AI when they try to pump out tons of units.

Yeah, assassinations are mostly useful in niche cases. Although they are also helpful during realm divide to try to deal a bit with enemy agents.

Glad to see you are back!!!
Glad to be back :)

Indeed. Kind of disappointed with the ninja cuts in shogun 2
Sabotaging armies is so overpowered. Enemy can't do anything if their army can't move!
i like how the ninja attempt to sabotage the army at the end failed lol
Me who creates 5 killing machine, giving every new daimyo a death mark.
The first agent I used to full extent in the campaign

Wow I never knew that sabotaged armys can't support other army's
And thank you for your videos, I played a lot better since I watched you
Do you play with mods or can you recommend some?
Glad to have helped a bit!
I don't play with mods, but I know there are a lot of great ones!
I'd always max assassination on my first ninjas (and most others) being able to wipe out gens from armies is even better than freezing them in place, plus it's cheaper and iirc better odds. Plus playing hattori you get night fighter anyway so who cares about reinforcements.
The return of the ~King~ THE SHOGUN!
Haha thanks!
The Vi-KING General
So when's the Ninja Unit for Battlefields?
To Level up ninja you can send them to Kyoto where they can kill level 1 monks or Generals or sabotaging buildings. Ashikaga Shogunate Will NEVER declare war on you unless you trigger Realm Divide
I just send them out to sabotage castle gates in nearby provinces.
Kyoto will spawn a level 1 monk over and over on legendary... It's an easy way to cheese level up a Ninja. lol
Why are spear troops called yari, but yumi troops have a bow prefix, got me pondering atm..
Thanks, now I won't be able to sleep tonight.
@@TheVikingGeneral I don't need sleep. I need answers..
Can you do fall of the samurai content? Please and thank you
I'm currently first working on more shogun 2 videos, maybe I will in the future!
Almost to 2k!
I'm still amazed how fast it's been growing without any upload these past weeks. :)
then the chance mechanic makes it fail a 60 percent chance assasination and gets executed
Oh, I've had max level ninja's die on 90%+ missions. It happens ;)
SHAMFU DISPLA!
I appreciate the time you took to make the video but I've watched it 6 times and still dont know what the hell, between your accent and the speed you talk I can't comprehend a single bit of knowledge.. but thanks though I guess
Yeah, I'm still working on proper pronunciation even when I'm speaking fast.
:)
