  1. So more stacks of Kazematoi means greater Aeolian Edge damage, but what is the Kazematoi gauge spent on? 🤔

    Edit: After a little more research it seems that Aeolian Edge uses 1 charge of Kazematoi, awesome!

  2. i think it's mostly good, it's going to be weird switching from being a rear priority job to a flank priority job in terms of fight positioning but I'll get used to it.

    I also think the Kunai stacks for Aoelian Edge are not super exciting but it's potentially a good building block for 8.0 if they give us something like Gunbreaker's Gnashing Fang Combo to spend it on perhaps during the odd minute burst which is less busy. I don't really feel that into it if there's no extra gameplay element or decision making regarding the guage b/c as it stands it's just Huton under a slightly different functionality.

    The actual Huton attack being an AOE hidden granter is actually huge for multi target optimization. Right now if you're going into a trash pack situation you still want to trick attack someone for the extra damage but using Suiton is a damage loss because it only hits one target and doesn't trigger the Nozuchi effect on Doton so it kind of takes you out of the multi target mindset. Ninja has a very robust mult-target kit that runs on slightly different logic than its single target (i.e. not just abilities with multi-target fall off damage but entirely different buttons with their own rules and interactions) so it's cool to get more abilities that play into that aspect of the job.

  3. Tbh i kinda wish they also updated/changed/evolved the visuals of the Aeolian edge combo as well, I played Nin since it's release all the way back in ARR and I am SERIOUSLY sick of looking at that bland combo after pressing all my fun buttons.

  4. You may have already caught this. It looks like potency of Aeolian Edge will be increased by a flat 60 while under the effect of Kazematoi as opposed to the way it was said in the video implying that it would be 60 per stack. Glad to see the breakdown won't be increasing the button layout. Ninja on controller is already busy enough.
