Kaiken are the backbone of the clans. To be a kaiken is not to be relegated to a basic or low role. Training to become a kaiken starts from birth and is ingrained through hardship, conditioning, and trials that normal people could not withstand. Kaiken are masters of the art of stealth, the sword, and the shuriken. As their experience grows, they learn to tap elemental magic, unlocking potential abilities to rival even the great Heroes.

Gameplay
Kaiken are the base level ninja. These minion ninja come in with relatively normal attributes for a minion. A STR of 3 blue and ARM of 1 star are solid, and Stealth grants them an extra measure of protection.
It’s important to note that in addition to their Melee Attack they also have a Missile Attack with a range of three squares. A solid DEX of 3 blue makes this attack nice and deadly, and it effectively extends their threat radius to nine squares.
Back Strike adds some punch to the Kaiken’s STR when it picks on Hero’s that did not activate in the previous turn.
