Ninjas Play Free, but there's only 1 ninja

[Koshiro-Ryu]

why is there only one ninja frame, literally the only reason i started playing Warframe.. and I think Ash is awesome.. but he's the only one, they really need to add another frame with a ninja theme, i'd rather not a replica of Ash either. 

no loki is not a ninja.

excalibur, sure.

Considering all of them are capable of completing spy missions, which is what ninjas did historically by stealing enemy intelligence, this is true.

Fun fact: this is a historical depiction of a Ninja.

Dressed as a maidservant in order to stealthily assassinate his target.

 

It is clear that, when OP says we don't have any many true ninjas, they mean that almost none of our Warframes can disguise themselves as a maidservant.

 

And I, for once, agree. My Frost should be able to dress as a maidservant if he wants to.

If there was a frame with a ninja theme that could disguise themselves as the enemy that would be cool.

Warframe ninjas do exist. They are the players who truly embrace the mobility system. They plan ahead, fire shots when they know the enemy is in a relatively poor position, dodge when they know their enemy is homing in, and escape through gaps when they must. 

These ninjas are rare, most warframe players stack damage reduction, or rely on shield gating, or have another way to become essentially invincible. The true ninjas are the Conclave players.

They can turn any frame into a ninja. 

We could all learn from them.

Oh, I see what you mean, but if you read the page about ninjas on Wikipedia you'll discover that Ninjas were spies, covert agents, mercenaries, assassins, arsonists, and terrorists.

My Ember definitely qualifies as an arsonist as she is. She is 100% ninja.

There were Ninjas dressed like handmaidens going around and burning S#&$. And that's a sort of Ninja that's very well represented in Warframe.

 

So, what I mean, is that if you look at the historical figure of the Ninja (and not the "edgy dark emo that lurks on a rooftop and throws daggers" figure that has come to dominate the word) you'll find that all of our Warframes are already Ninjas.

Don't think of them as Ninjas in Space. Think of them more like the Space Pirates from Outlaw Star. They're future evolved Ninjas.

Xtreme Bunnyhopping Mode does not a ninja make.
