His main advantage in combat is the Fixate ability. Training an early Ninja is a good tactic since it can survive at least two waves of harassing tactics (only a single wave if another Spearton or a Juggerknight) before he dies or forcing you to garrison him. Its damage falls between the Swordwrath and the Spearton. It has four bars of health and fast speed and light armor. The Shadowrath is an upgraded Swordwrath.

This ability is only available in Stick War 3. The Shadowrath uses his sword to block incoming attacks. This ability is only available in Stick War 2/Stick Empires. If the Shadowrath attacks during Shinobi, the invisibility breaks and the attack deals heavy bonus damage and inflicts Poison.

The Shadowrath becomes untargetable by enemies and turns invisible (however they still have a visible outline). This bonus resets if the Shadowrath switches attack targets. The Ninja is one of the fastest unit in-game and has two abilities which are Fixate and Shinobi in Stick War 2: Order Empire and Stick Empires while in Stick War 3, Shinobi has been replaced by the Parry ability.Įach attack made by the Shadowrath against the same target deals more damage than the last, stacking up to 5 times (3 times in Stick War 3). The idea of the Ninja was later revived during the creation of Stick Empires. They are now completely stationary in their stance.ĭuring the original Stick War, the idea was already thought up but because of the deadline, it was cut out. The Shadowrath in Stick War III have 2 black ribbons which emerge from the back of the mask, these ribbons sway in the wind. They move back and forth in a ninja pose. By default, they are equipped with 2 deadly weapons, a sword and a staff. They wear a mask that covers all but their eyes. Shadowraths take on the appearance of a ninja. In Stick War 3, the Shadowrath seem to have given up the ways of assassination as they no longer have the Shinobi ability and instead focus more on being a dangerous combat unit as shown by their fast attack animation and 'Parry' ability. Princess Shade gifted them to King Zarek during the second great war. Originally formed to battle the mafia stranglehold, after some success. Initially formed by Princess Shade, the shadowrath were a group of assassins commonly recruited from the best of the Swordwrath. Once Medusa revealed herself and the Chaos Empire, the Shadowrath and the other rebels rejoined the Order Empire to fight against them. Shadowrath fought against the forces of Order as part of the Rebel nations, but were defeated. Regrouping to strike back against the Order Empire, they practiced the arts of stealth and assassination to survive. The Shadowrath were formed by Swordwrath that escaped the conquest of their homeland.
