Jonin Elites (上忍, JōninLiterally meaning: High Ninja, Meaning (Viz): Elite Ninja), are powerful ninjas of the United Cities. They serve as Emperor Tengu's bodyguards alongside the Samurai Elites and can only be found in the Faction Throne in Heft.

There are in total 5 Jonin Elites that guard Emperor Tengu under default Heft. If Heft is malnourished, there will only be 3 of them.

They wear [High] armour (10% chance of [Specialist]) and have weapons manufactured by Skeleton Smiths and Edgewalkers.

This character can colour armour and clothing due to a colour scheme attached. The colour is different from the faction's color as it is attached to this character rather than the faction.

Tips[]

  • If taking on Tengu either try to quickly eliminate him or focus his Jonins. They can spawn with Assassins Rags which will make quick work out of anyone who is not highly trained.
  • As they lack any form of Duststorm protection kiting them outside may be beneficial.
