Ninja Kai passive after latest patch

Ever since the Lunar New Year event started, Ninja Kai's refresh passive seems to be triggering less. I've been using him along with a samurai shizu to clear goldmines before, but now a lot of the time the passive doesn't trigger, sometimes it's only either Kai or Shizu that gets refreshed, and very rarely that both of them gets refreshed. It wasn't this bad before the latest patch. Is there anyone else also noticing something off about him?

I actually felt that the trigger was more than 45% prior to the patch , now it does feel 45% to me.

I noticed it too. ._. Plus crit chances were getting low too. Or maybe it was supposed to be this way.

Anyone familiar if there is a crit resistance stat?

I think they are fixing the bug in the shadow's attack once again. Before the patch, a Kensei Rin can trigger others in her aura to attack 3 consecutive times even when she only killed her primary target.Which mean it actually triggers up to the amount of attack a kensei Rin is capable of.

This may also be why a Ninja Shizu/Kai can reliably refresh on kill; it's because the aura actually stacked up to the amount of hit their normal attack can score.

it's been fixed now though. The aura works as intended (i.e: only triggers once if Rin killed one enemy)

Since they've fixed this 'problem' with the latest patch, I can only guess that's the reason why ninja's aura trigger rate is also affected.

Ahh makes sense! Come to think of it, he does look like he refresh more than once even if only one enemy is defeated before. Thought it was just the aura of another unit trigerring. Welp now i realize ill be remodelling my squad again for pvp. @.@

They also fixed a separate bug where, if Kai Ninja killed units on bounces (the non-primary target), his aura doesn't trigger any refreshes. Now that is fixed, bounce-kills can trigger refreshes, even if the primary target still survives.

I'm not too sure on this, but did the aura description for Ninjas change after the patch? It says that there's a 45% chance to refresh turn of Everyone in aura. (as opposed to an Assassin's aura description of 'refreshes turn of Others in aura)

Shouldn't everyone within the Ninja's aura get a refresh instead of just a few?
