This update brings about an entire new system for clan leadership that is the signature style of Nin's combination of roleplay and gameplay systems.
Balance
All New Characters now start with Cloak of Invisibility, Transformation, Kunai Shadow Clone and Shuriken Barrage Techniques
Watching gameplay footage of existing players, blank scrolls and learning the early game systems comes at too fast a pace and most people end up at level 10 not even learning a single jutsu. Giving players all these jutsu makes sense as the game starts you as you are about the graduate the academy. This also slowly lessens the gap between level 10 players and higher level players the moment they are exposed to open world PvP.Whirlwind Kick Technique now breaks Snares
Combusting Vortex Technique now breaks Snares
Wind Mask Technique now breaks Snares
Revolving Heavens Technique now breaks Snares
Features
Clan Leadership System
Ninja who want to become clan leaders for the month must collect Hokuto Sphere items and bring them to the shrine within their clan house.Hokuto Spheres are offerings for the ancestors of your clan. Collect Hokuto Spheres by killing enemies or buying them from other players. In the near future, there will also be daily clan missions that will allow you to get them as rewards.
Every month, the ninja with the highest Authority from the clan receives the blessing of the ancestors of the clan to become the clan leader. This will neatly tie into our upcoming coup system which will allow the clan leaders to come together to overthrow and replace the council and Kage and call upon a new election.
Added Raid Music
When a map has been raided recently and there are enemies on that map, battle music will play. It's always a bit weird when there's a massive raid going on and so much combat, and the music is peaceful and chill. This was first planned in 2023 and finally done!Added feature support for Starter Jutsu for each village
