Kunoichi

Last Updated: June 12, 2025

Kunoichi Overview

Kunoichi is a Shadowkin Epic protector who offers Ally Protection, Weaken, and AoE Leech, making her a valuable budget option for Faction Wars progression and a solid survivability pick for traditional Clan Boss teams.

Clearly Kunoichi has been watching far too much X-Men and is a Wolverine Fan! Her sharp claws bring a new edge to the Shadowkin Faction as part of Patch 5.10. She brings a rat mask to help the faction!

She is clearly designed to be a Budget Kyoku, an epic that will provide Ally Protection, Weaken on an A1 and an AoE Leech. This champion will be quite high in your priority if you were unable to get one of the strong Shadowkin Legendary champions such as Jintoro, Genzin, Ninja or Kyoku for the last boss of the Shadowkin Faction Wars. This boss will ignore Defence so having a protector like Kunoichi may very well be the difference between 3 stars and 1 star.

Outside of Faction Wars, you will get a good progression Epic that can help keep your team alive with AoE Leech and a Solid Clan Boss Protector (although watch out for her Turn Meter and Passive as this can break your speed tunes).
