Thw whole thing about shuriken is that they weren't mainly used as primary weapons, and normally weren't used to inflict damage. The were used in stealth as distractions and whatnot. You throw one on the ground and your opponent has no clue where it came from and panickly looks around, then you slice 'em.
Even though this cannot apply to zone, I'm sure there's some way it can be used as a means other than just attack, especially if it's added to the Assassin's class. And shuriken usually move faster than the eye can see and so do bullets, but you can see bullets in this game, so shuriken should move just as fast. If not faster. I think they should do minimal damage and basically just be used to stun the enemy. But if you think they'd be good as a weapon, that's fine too. The ice gun seems to be the stunning weapon as of yet, but throwing shuriken only requires 1 hand. Maybe it should only stun the oponent for 0.5 seconds, who knows? I also think if it's dual wielded, you should be able to throw them twice as fast.(no one ever threw two shuriken at once.) Maybe make it so you can pick the shuriken back up after you throw them, who knows?
Maybe when you hit someone with a shuriken it stays stabbed into them, even as they walk away.
Anyway, you decide how best it works.(maybe the shuriken can be the only weapon you can throw when you're invisible in assassin mode?)
