Ninja Cookie
CNinja Cookie prefers striking swiftly before he can be detected as opposed to sneaking around and hiding for long periods of time. But the truth is, every time he throws a shuriken, he silently shouts the name of his signature finishing move in his head. It's apparently still a secret, though. Fwoosh!

How to Use Ninja Cookie
Ninja Cookie is a Dark Shooter with C rarity. Shooters attack from range, which keeps them safer than melee Attacker Cookies. Position Ninja Cookie so its projectiles reach priority targets, and look for synergy partners that extend Range or Projectile Speed. Its skill “Swift Strike” decides the damage pattern you build around.
Stats Analysis
Ninja Cookie has 20 of 21 base Attack among all Shooter Cookies, 20 of 21 base HP, 1 of 21 base Defense and 1 of 21 movement Speed. These numbers decide how it fits a lineup:
As a Shooter, Attack and Speed are the stats that matter most, because they let Ninja Cookie maintain pressure from range without being exposed.
Skill & Playstyle
The skill “Swift Strike” is a Multishot synergy attack with a range of 5. Multishot fires several projectiles, so the skill spreads damage across a cluster of enemies. It is the main reason to build a team around Ninja Cookie, so upgrade the skill alongside the Cookie whenever resources allow.
How Ninja Cookie Compares
Among Shooter Cookies, Ninja Cookie competes with Twizzly Gummy Cookie, Witchberry Cookie and Lilac Cookie. Its Dark element and Multishot skill make it different from them: it keeps the fight at range, which most melee peers cannot do. Choose Ninja Cookie when your team needs exactly what it provides, and pick a peer when the fight calls for their strengths instead.
