    Ninja Running

    Since I'm sure it will be asked many times, I grabbed the stats for the Ninja Run power from its detailed info pane, and compared it to the existing travel powers, and the powers you can stack it with.

    I'm making this in a separate thread, so that it doesn't get lost in the middle of the other SB4 thread. (All values at level 50, without slotting)

    Ninja Run
    • 695% Jump Height
    • 136.95% Jump Speed
    • 140% Run Speed

    Super Speed
    • 350% Run Speed

    Combat Jumping
    • 200% Jump Height

    Super Jump
    • 2780% Jump Height
    • 249% Jump Speed

    Sprint
    • 10% Jump Height
    • 50% Run Speed

    Hurdle
    • 166.8% Jump Height
    • 124.5% Jump Speed

    Swift
    • 35% Run Speed

    And now, a handy chart:







    (Assuming all powers unehnaced)
    • Ninja Run jumps higher than Combat Jumping
    • Ninja Run + Hurdle is faster than Super Jump
    • Ninja Run + Hurdle is faster than Fly while jumping
    • Ninja Run + Sprint + Swift is almost 2/3rds as fast as Super Speed
    • Ninja Run + Sprint + Swift is about 3/4ths as fast as Siphon Speed
    • Ninja Run + Sprint + Swift is a tiny bit faster than Fly while running

    Tell that to a Super Speedster in Grandville.

    It's the "Samurai Menpo" Detail 2 piece from the 18mo vet reward.

    Edit: Nevermind, I just looked at the screenshot on the store page, and it's not the same. Will continue looking...
    Edit: Found it: "Oni Guard" Detail 2 piece

    Nah, they don't go Untouchable, for one, and they have about a tenth of Reichman's HP, so regeneration (and by extension, -regen) does less for them than it does for Reichsman.

  7. Yes, it will trigger every 10 seconds, with a separate chance to proc on each foe within the radius when the proc pulse hits.

    There is quite literally one time in the entire game (under specific circumstances) where I would rather the Rad have LR over EF: Running the Barracuda SF, during the final mission, while fighting Reichsman, right before he goes Untouchable, if there is no Mastermind on the team (since MMs get a temporary power that prevents him from going Untouchable).

    There is literally no other circumstance where I would justify LR over EF (though I would never mind a teammate with both )

    There were several people complaining that the pack was MA-themed, I was just responding in general, not specifically to you. Sorry if I offended

    For reference, Burn gives mag 50 Afraid (makes the AI run away), while Rain of Fire has mag 5 Avoid (makes the AI stay out of the AoE, but not necessarily run away)

    Yeah, I love how the technology booster lets me create a wide variety of technology-based heroes, and how the science booster doesn't just restrict me to the whole 'mad scientist' look. The natural booster restricting me to martial arts has zero precedent and is totally unfair!

    Obviously, you're no longer using Claws, but holding a set of 3 kunai between each finger!

    And several costume parts, and it looks like Ninja Run is a lot more than just a prestige Sprint. It's probably slower than Super Jump, but it looks like it may be faster than Fly.

    Have you just been playing Aion too much or something?

    Brawl is one of the most complicated powers in the game. A bit ironic, don't you think?

    It removes the possibility of someone intentionally outleveling a mission so that they can complete it more easily. Don't really have any objections beyond that.

    Bonfire can be bad. But it can also be very good. Consider, for instance, what ATs have access to Bonfire. They're all squishy. Set Bonfire at your feet, and enemies don't run up to munch on you any more.

    And since it's a location AoE, it's fairly easy to place in the most optimal spot.

    Well then why is it that all these alleged "teammates" are listed in a window labeled "Pets", hmm?!

    No, Avilans (an epic AT designed to get characters with wings into the game) were wholly replaced by wings costume pieces available to everyone.

    A common... I guess you would call it a "game"... in America, particularly with children and young teens, goes as follows:
    - Two people say the exact same thing at the exact same time
    - One of the two says "Jinx! You owe me a CokeĀ™"

    Actually, you only need to defeat lv47+ enemies to receive purples, you don't need to be 47+ yourself. So, solo, you could theoretically get purples when you're level 43.

    However, you're right, you can't use them until level 47, and the same applies to Hamidon enhancements.
