I've sort of moved to having it overtuned and ready to have bits plucked rather than the other way round, to see which bits of its' kit stands out as interesting.
Right now the stun-removing special generally requires 8 hits spread between at least two crew members to charge: It gets 20% from the first hit on someone and 10% up to 3 times, then their blood level hits ~350 which no longer provides any charge. I don't think a single stun break is 'immunity to sec' as it doesn't actually replenish your stamina, so you can just get batoned again. It's more to break free from being taser shotgunned once or twice, or walking into a flasher.
Neither the wakizashi nor the throwing stars deal a huge amount of damage, delimbing or stun. Ninja's meant to sit in sort of a harassment role as baba mentioned and allow a player to feel like it isn't suicide to run over and stab cargonia. In its' current state, they're able to pretty easily hit someone to hypotension, but actual murder requires more significant effort.
Ultimately I expect it to be very hit-and-run in practice once I code in limitations for shuriken. The main safe strategy I've discovered would be to teleshuriken onto someone, land a couple of hits and run away. Without the infinite shuriken supply you'll likely have to trade blows with staffies should you go for melee hits, and at that point there's a lot more risk compared to running about with an assault rifle.
