Aiming at a ninja means reading where the movement is going. An air step changes a landing, a chi-jump gains height quickly, and a shadow warp makes you find the target again. Precision Dojo gives you a way to practise those situations separately before combining them.
The training uses the game's animated ninjas, movement controller and weapons. It runs offline inside the client, without a server or online service.
Choosing what to practise
The fourteen forms cover lateral tracking, short reversals, leaps, air steps, intercepting chi-jumps, finding a target after a shadow warp and switching between targets. Foundations lets you simplify the situation: plant your feet to concentrate on aiming, or leave your own movement enabled.
Aerial Mastery puts both you and the other ninjas in the air. Its forms include head-on flybys, high and low target switches, circling opponents and airborne shadow pursuit. Tempest mixes the aerial patterns. Up to eight ninjas can take part, with optional return fire and automatic chi relaunches.
An automatic relaunch starts a launch; it does not steer the camera or aim for you. You can still steer, air-step, fire, use shadow or take over with your own inputs.
Practising with the settings you use in a match
Choose rail, bow or stars. The Dojo uses your saved sensitivity, weapon field of view, crosshair and key bindings. Bow draw and release, projectile gravity, star magazines and reloads follow the actual game rules. Adjusting the practice cadence changes the pattern you face, without changing hitboxes or weapon speed.
Sessions can be timed or left open for free practice. Keeping the same setup and seed—the value used to generate the pattern—lets you repeat the same uninterrupted movement sequence. You can then change one condition when you want to practise a different read.
Reading the results
The results count shots accepted by the game, hit percentage, eliminations, kills per minute and consecutive hit streaks. Aerial forms also record airborne aiming, air-to-air kills, time spent airborne and deaths. Personal bests are kept separate when practice conditions differ, so unlike setups are not treated as the same test.
These figures describe a practice session rather than a universal skill rating. In particular, mean time alive is the average lifetime of practice ninjas that were eliminated. It is not a measurement of your reaction time.
To start, open Precision Dojo / Local Training from the home screen, choose a form and enter the court. Its dedicated Stillwater Court training map is separate from the multiplayer map catalogue.
