Nindash demands swift dashes and quick attacks, not unlike a true ninja, and we are here to help with our Nindash: Skull Valley cheats, tips and tricks strategy guide!

Swipe in quick and accurate succession!

The key to racking up lots of points is to combo slash the skeletons down. You’ve probably noticed that when you attack a lot of skeletons in a row, you’ll see a gradually increasing multiplier pop up over their heads. The more skeletons you can take out quickly with one slash, the more points you’ll earn.

There’s a trick to this. At first we thought it was solely speed and that you can just swipe all over the screen, but it turns out it’s a mixture of both accuracy and speed. When you take out a group of skeletons, quickly dash to the next group without missing to keep your combo going.

Let the skeletons come down!

While this might sound counter-intuitive at first, it’ll actually help you plan out your attacks. Before you let loose on the first skeleton you see, it helps a bit if you give them some time. If you let the group of skeletons come down to at least halfway down the screen, you’ll see the whole group and you’ll know exactly where to strike.

Not only does this help you plan out your dash sequence, but this will also help you avoid any unfortunate bomb skeletons that may be hiding among the group. Remember that there’s no penalty for letting the skeletons get some distance – just don’t let them reach all the way to the bottom of the screen.

Get all three stars!

Each level has three golden ninja stars to earn. The first one is given to you upon completion of the level. This one’s the easiest to get as you just need to survive to the end!

The second star is the point star. This one is awarded to you if you managed to score past a certain threshold. Remember what we said about quick and accurate slashes for big combos – that’s the key to getting high scores.

The final star is the health star. If you make it through the level without a scratch, you’ll earn this star. This means you can’t let any skeletons make it through and you can’t have any bomb skeleton accidents. Be mindful of where you slash!

Watch an ad for a shield!

If you’re really struggling to get through a level because you’re taking too much damage, you can always watch an advertisement to receive a free shield. The shield will protect you from one hit, at which point it breaks and you’ll start taking damage as normal. You shouldn’t have a problem with damage if you’re controlling your slashes, but the option is there if you need it.

That’s all for Nindash: Skull Valley. If you have any other tips or tricks to share, let us know in the comments below!
