Ninja Monkey

The Ninja Monkey is the short-ranged counter-assassination unit of the Monkey Empire. While his attack itself does low damage, this is counterbalanced by his very high attack speed and movement speed. His Ninja Sight upgrade makes spamming the Ninja Monkey the only solid counter to Shadowrath masses (about time there was one). While weak on their own, their attack power rapidly increases the more Ninja Monkeys are present due to the stacked swarm of ninja stars they throw.

Description
Basically, it is a Ninja Monkey from BMC. It is a ranged counter-assassination unit that travels only slightly slower than a Shadowrath. Despite being ranged, Ninja Monkeys can't hit ranged units. The range of a Ninja Monkey is about 8/15 of an Archidon's range.

Ninja Sight (passive)
Ninja Sight is the Ninja Monkey's researchable passive ability. Once researched, Ninja Monkeys can target and attack cloaked enemies (such as Shadowrath on Shinobi).

Shadow Clone
Shadow Clone is the Ninja Monkey's active researchable ability. Using this ability causes the Ninja Monkey to release a shadowy clone of itself that does half the damage of the original.

Strategy
Ninja Monkeys have low attack damage but very high fire rate, and are best when used en masse, as the wall of ninja stars that they throw will certainly deal large damage to enemy forces. Their attacks also ignore armor making attacks on tanky units easier. They are the paragons of hitting and running, as only Shadowrath can barely catch up to them, and when kiting with Ninja Monkeys even the Shadowrath will lose large chunks of health. It is strongly recommended that you use them in conjunction with Snipers or Helis especially if the enemy has large amounts of aerial units, as they are the Ninja Monkey's only weakness.

Countering
Large hordes of air units are Ninja Monkeys' only weaknesses as they are unable to attack them.
