Abilities

Black Spider Ninjas have various attacks. They are equipped with claws on both hands/ninja swords, and Incendiary Shuriken. As a last resort, they will sacrifice themselves, aka Kamikaze.

Attacks:

Shuriken Throw - The Ninja throws a Shuriken. This attack doesn't do much damage but it can interrupt your own attacks.
Incendiary Shuriken Throw - Long range projectiles that explode a few seconds after hitting their victim. They hurt you like a regular Shuriken when impaled, but the explosion deals much more damage, though it can be avoided by dodging it or going into a move that temporarily shields you from attacks in the right time. In Ninja Gaiden 3 however, instead they use Incendiary Bombs.
Kamikaze (Suicide Bombing) - If they lost a limb, sometimes they will grab you and explode using their Incendiary shuriken. White clad ninjas sometime will blow up one of their limbs to hurt you when you did not cut off any of their limb. This move is usually followed by a cry from the ninjas.
Throw - Either slash or claw you.
Ground Shoot - The Tactical Ninja can pin you down with their leg and shoot their submachine gun at your face and will not stop until you kick them away.
Evading Skills - The Black Spider Ninjas are mostly known for their insane evading skills. They are the smartest enemies in NG2/NGS2.
Health - They have the most health of all human sized enemies in NG2 and NGS2. There it takes 2 Izuna Drops to kill them, while on other ninjas it takes 1. In Ninja Gaiden/Black/Sigma however, they have as much health as the other ninjas.
