Ninja Vanish

colonelmarik · January 2018

The other day, I purchased Ninja Vanish for my Batman-style character, thinking it would function as a Teleport that begins with the smoke bomb animation. It turns out it is NOT a teleport power, even though it appears among the teleport powers, and even though its description is IDENTICAL to Teleport. Unless you specifically look at the Advanced description, you would not know it is not a teleport power.

I'm not complaining, I am posting this so people will be aware of this, and not purchase it under the wrong impression, as I did.

It does have its uses. It essentially acts as a super-stealth power that increases running speed a little bit and... well, that's about it. It's not really much use as a travel power, but it is a strong stealth power.

This is the description from the Training Room.

I would post this in the bug forum, it's simply got a wrong power description.

Eh... have you actually used it? Cause that doesn't sound like what happened when I used the power. When I used it, it was a teleport like the other ones.

Btw if you want something that involves smoke bomb vfx/animation try Smoke Bomb and Smoke Bomb Lunge in the martial arts trees.

I filed a ticket about it, they said "working as advertised." I suggested to them in the ticket that they adjust the description, but thought I'd post here about it just in case they didn't.

Maybe you are thinking of ninja leaves because that one does act just like a teleport power. Ninja vanish acts like the way OP described it, it puts you in stealth and makes you run faster and jump a bit higher like a weak version of acrobatics.

It's still a teleport from what I remember when it was first released. The main difference being that it's movement when active is styled after acrobatics instead of flight. You should still be able to move through people like you can with teleport.
