About the game
Dark Kitsune is a mercenary ronin for Ninja All-Stars. Ronin bring potent new abilities to a player’s team that are entirely unique to them. As mercenaries, ronin may be used by any player, on any team. This makes ronin invaluable assets for every team, regardless of clan, since they may be used to supplement a team’s weaknesses in battle or further augment their strengths. Some Kitsune are ill-suited for life beneath their clan’s hallowed home of shadowed trees. Instead, they dream of the wider world full of unknown wonders. Masterful, mischievous, and even a bit malicious, Dark Kitsune either venture beyond their homeland or are shun. Employing their clan’s skills in herbalism and magic, such Dark Kitsune rarely have trouble making a living off of warriors willing to pay their sometimes outrageous fees.
