With the introduction of the Fat Princess: Fat Roles DLC pack on the PlayStation 3, we got three new classes to play with in our battles to rescue the plump princess. One of the coolest of the three has to be the new Ninja class. So get ready to learn how to toss your ninja stars, swing your ninja sword and sneak into the enemies castle.
To become a ninja in Fat Princess, you must pick up a special purple hat from within your castle, and then press the triangle button until you see you are a ninja. The ninja has six hearts for health, and moves about as quick as the Ranger class. Rather than the ability to upgrade hats, the ninja gets a special move in which he can turn invisible for eight to ten seconds and walk through the opponents’ castle doors. This gives you a real advantage when it comes to grabbing the princess without being seen.
Attacking with the Ninja’s Sword – By rapidly hitting the attack button, you can make your ninja swing his ninja sword (aka katana) to attack. This is a great way to fight people when you’re in close quarters with them. It strikes a little faster than the warrior’s sword, in my opinion.
Attacking with the Ninja’s Stars – When you hold down the attack button to charge it up, your ninja will throw stars (aka shurikens) at whomever you are targeting on the opposite team. He will throw one star if the attack is charged 1/4th of the way, two if it is charged half way, three if it is charged 3/4ths of the way, and four if it is charged all the way up.
Turning Invisible with the Ninja
Your special move, as I touched upon before is the ability to turn invisible for eight to ten seconds once your special bar has filled all the way up. Sneaking through the castle walls is not the only thing you can do as the invisible ninja though. You can also try to sneak attack your opponents too. If you attack them, while invisible, then you do three hearts worth of damage overall. However, be careful when trying to attack because once you hit the attack button, or enter an outpost, your invisibility is gone.
More Ninja Class Tips and Tricks
Here are a few more things you should remember when playing as the Ninja class in Fat Princess:
- You can set your weapons on fire to do greater damage by walking by a lit piece of wood or a torch on the battlefield.
- When you are invisible, both sides can still see your actual location if they check the map.
- Every so often, when the ninja dies he will pull out his sword and fall on it. Something to keep an eye out for.
I hope you enjoy this guide to playing as the Ninja class in Fat Princess, for the PlayStation 3. Even though the ninja started as a concept idea that was never really suppose to see the light of day, I am really happy with how Atomic Operations were able to make it into a very fun class of character to play with in the game.
