What’s changing in Shinobi Striker patch 2.44?

Healing reduction

Since the game’s release years ago, healing has been very busted in the game. This rings especially true for combat mode, where the meta essentially just becomes a game of stacking one hit KO secret techniques. But with the addition of healing reduction, which was added to a long list of Ninjutsu, the stall reliant meta should be less relevant.

New Hidden Rain Village map

This is a revamped version of the Hidden Rain village. And similar to the revamped Hidden Sand Village, this map also has teleporters placed throughout the map. It’s a rather big map, but still provides a similar vibe as the Hidden Rain Village since it has tall buildings placed throughout key checkpoints.
