Tough question... It comes at a tough time as the class role for ninja is assassin and the assassination strike(ninja melee) was removed in 1.7... Most people suggest falling back to minjas secondary weapon, the nova knife, or supplementing with REs, but since 1.7 plenty of crying heavies have gotten remote explosives nerfed to the point of being laughable, and our pistol has had the damage, blast radius, and clip size cut down as well so pistol assassinations are a no... Basically if you're looking to play tenchu style in new eden you're real real late... If you want to sneak up behind someone drop a remote hit them knife them set off your remote and blast a full clip from your pistol in a vain attempt to finish the enemy off while their 5 squaddies who spotted you track you down, then welcome to new eden. Better scan radius than other suits allows you to watch them corner you from the convenience of your minimap while the worst scan profile of any scouts(since the minja dampening bonus was removed) ensures that the enemy doesn't have to "hunt" to track you down and box you in.
About a couple other suggestions, remember that fluxing remote explosives is FRIENDLY FIRE IN HI SEC please don't team kill especially since many ninja were forced to become hackers by a trash role bonus(we got hand-me-downed the minnlogi hacker bonus to become 2nd fastest hacker after gallogi but not better than minnlogi or galscout)
If using flaylock remember that the projectile is super slow and the blast radius is intentionally broken on this weapon. Expect it to whiff 9/10 perfect shots.
Remotes aren't supposed to be the finisher for when knives don't work... Knives are for when melee doesn't work.
THAT SAID, DONT LEVEL UP HAND TO HAND FOR MINJA ANYMORE the assassin blow that was for knocking down that heavy that's ruining everyone's day? Its not there, you can stab to try and finish them off but the rate of fire for the hmg... Most times just don't punch. I hope CCP fixes the minja soon.
Came for an RPG, leveled into a class... All my SP is used up where did the class I leveled into go? Where did the RPG I bought go? |

As an alternative to shield tanking you could try putting damage mods on your highs, but crying got those broken in half(literally!)
Nova knives + SMG isn't a real minja, its a coping mechanism... Also recommended here is codebreakers for "swift hacking" let me clarify that we lose our assassin strike for this dog food garbage hand-me-down bonus for a class role that isn't even our own,so "swift hacking" here means that we permanently have a low slot locked into a codebreaker(25% bonus) which is literally the most useless stat to have forced on us when first place its a logi job, second place WE TRADED EITHER 25% PROFILE DAMP OR 25% MELEE DMG FOR THIS & its still not a scout job! The minja is consistently matched or outdone by others for hacking speed, so when the melee is offensively needed and the damps are defensively needed, it would be clearly insane for any player to want a codebreaker tied to a non customizable low slot. |
