They are gods

I m controlling four missions with four Shinobi and still can send them to finish wrong spawn missions on time with enough time left
I can send them every day on mission and won .

Shinobi is one man squad - best class ever produced. They Infiltrate under a day

I just wonder what I could do with 12 Shinobi - Whole Asia ? Under a week ? And than send lesser classes for Lib 3 - they must stick together in group like lambs and infiltrate for whole week . Specialist excluded .

Shinobi do not require stats and still can control whole battlefield and DO the objective. In a day or two
[Edited] because Phaseless is right
Shinobi does not need a single perk and DO the things. They do not need equipment of any kind and DO the map.

Praised be Shinobi they can do 360 concealed missions in a year . This is 3x more than we can get.

Shinobi and one man mission is the star of the game .

I have Kunoichi (Female Ninja ) but it say Shinobi why ?

my shinobis constantly die and then I just buy the next recruits to Train them as my disposable Scout cannon fodder
(slightly kidding, shinobis are great but it's a fact that they're the class that dies most often on me. Once they get the reaper skill they're melee powerhouses).

Shinobi are definitely my favorite class, and tend to be the most effective soldiers in my playthroughs as well. I'm fully convinced that XCOM would not have lost the first invasion if they had thought to use ninjas earlier, and that The Great Ninjutsu Revival of 2035 marks a great turning point for mankind.

They are scouts to find pods who learn that Xcom is in the area when a rocket explodes at their feet.

Until they get Reaper.

Once they have that they become magnificent at cleaning up the wounded aliens before the end of my turn.

I've had inconsistent results with solo missions.
Had a heartbreaker last night when the engineer I was trying to extract died about 3 tiles from the evac zone. Shot by a trooper and then flashbanged by an engineer. The combination of red fog and disorientation reduced his movement radius to 1 tile.

Sorry. About eng.
Shinobi is all right ?

Yeah.
Waved goodbye to the engineer on her way up.

He was one dash away from evacuation when Advent spotted him on their turn. Grazed for 2 HP, and the red fog slowed him down so he couldn't make it.

Still, so close.
Shinobi killed 2 reinforcements that landed on the roof with the Alien Hunter Axe throw and a fleche. Their turn starts with the engineer in spitting distance of evacuation.

Dunk... Pam! The flashbang goes off.
Troopers swarm onto the roof but then their turn ends. He's going to make it!

No.
I sat there staring in disbelief at the fact that his movement radius was reduced to one, and then just left him there to die.
