I know this bey is terrible, but I really want to use it. Does anyone know good combos for it lol
Shadow Shinobi good combos
you should use it on M-85, and Elevate. just for more weight, and the low resistance on elevate matches well with simple-type ratchets. use this combo well.
plus, it would make a great troll combo
That title is an oxymoron and a half lol
DiscBall, Hexa, Point

Yeah this thread is really useless. KNIFE SHINOBI IS BETTER GUYS AND GALS!!! Anyway are you a furry?
oh yes indeed. it's kind of just something I use to express myself. remember that we don't identify as animals, but instead identify with them. I can explain more if you would like.
Also KS is just Horn Rhino retool right? It's fast on Tr but otherwise not the best.

So about the being a furry stuff, when you say you identify with them do you mean like spirit animal stuff? For example, if you like the trait of being loyal, you would create or wear a wolf suit? Im sorry if I sound rude, Im trying my best to word this question correctly but I don’t really know how.
Try shinobi shadow on 5-60 high-needle, glide, or hexa. I only have high needle, but based on how glide works, it might be good. And hexa is just a good bit, especially if you launch in a way to give it more movement
An overpowered combo for hells hammers would be with its original parts but instead of the original bit you could try low rush XD
I got some inspiration from this video Burst Labs did for Ghost Circle (https://youtu.be/GMNJqlQrsYM) and Wall Ball was by far the best bit I've used it with. It's not going to win any stamina battles, but it still puts up a lot of defensive work. It doesn't function like a regular defense type that sits in the center to tank x-dashes, but it floats around the stadium to constantly deflect hits. Disc Ball was another decent bit that stabilized the very light blade. 9-60 is chosen to minimize burst risk, though 1-60 is also helpful for pocket hopping. Here's some rudimentary testing results:
Shinobi Shadow 9-60 WB VS Shark Scale 1-70 LR:
5 wins (5 Spin Finishes), 1 draw, 14 losses (1 Xtreme Finish, 5 Over Finishes, 8 Spin Finishes)
Remarks: Shark Scale itself already has ridiculous amounts of stamina for an attack type, so it's not a super surprising result. It is worth noting that Shinobi Shadow suffered exactly 0 Burst Finishes in the test. Shadow isn't really as good of a deflector as Ghost Circle, so it could be rushed down and run out of stamina that way.
Shinobi Shadow 9-60 WB VS Phoenix Wing 3-60 R:
10 wins (2 Xtreme Finishes, 2 Over Finishes, 6 Spin Finishes), 2 draws, 8 losses (1 Xtreme Finish, 2 Over Finishes, 5 Spin Finishes)
Remarks: Again there are no bursts here. Against Phoenix Wing, a solid B-tier blade that is still in the top 10, a 50% win rate on a blade as light as Shinobi Shadow is very high. I do recommend this build against any attack blade that isn't so heavy that it could beat Shadow at stamina.

Some further testing with Disc Ball:
Shinobi Shadow 9-60 DB VS Shark Scale 1-70 LR:
8 wins (8 Spin Finishes), 2 draws, 10 losses (1 Xtreme Finish, 5 Burst Finishes, 1 Over Finish, 3 Spin Finishes)
Remarks: Slightly better win rate at the huge cost of losing heavy points to burst finishes. Disc Ball recovers too slowly and cannot prevent bursting like Wall Ball.
Shinobi Shadow 9-60 DB VS Phoenix Wing 3-60 R:
7 wins (7 Spin Finishes), 13 losses (2 Xtreme Finishes, 6 Over Finishes, 3 Burst Finishes, 2 Spin Finishes)
Remarks: Far worse than Wall Ball, zero defensive strength, but still better than other bits I've tested so far. Wall Ball is almost a prerequisite for Shadow at this point. Shinobi Shadow functions similarly to Ghost Circle, it has to "haunt" the stadium and move around rather than tank massive hits over and over, while also being capable of defending itself from getting knocked into pockets. Disc Ball only accomplishes one of these goals, so Shinobi Shadow cannot reach its full potential without Wall Ball or a better bit in the future.
