[749][Guide] How to be a ninja

With the release of Beta there are now even more possibilities and opportunities to sneak, assassinate and destroy. Crates, daggers and pyro tech only add to the fun!
As always with a new release, many ideas are not realised or fully implemented into team strategies for quite a while. I am compiling this list to allow everyone to learn to be a ninja. Suggestions are welcome!
(Must have classy names)

• Crate Camouflage:
  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  Become Solid Snake as you sneak undetected as you carry your crate, edging towards the enemy base, ducking to render yourself invisible! That, or your ventricles will be suddenly pierced by a balista shot and your breathing cavity casually perforated by a builder atop a mounted gun as your corpse is gibbed into 14,120,000,121 pieces by a overcooked keg. A better plan would be to hop inside the crate (hold 'E' and select 'get inside') and get a teammate to take you there whilst stowed away in the storage compartment of a ship. Your screen won't follow the boat and you will be stuck in hammerspace for a while but you won't drown. Impossible to get out of by yourself.

• Pyromanic Ploy:
  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  As useful as any catapult, keg or other explosive is, the one thing that is sure to send the enemies hope of winning up in flames, up in smoke and, heh, into ashes. Is FIRE. BURN, BURN, BURN IT ALL! Ahem, anyway, the best way to put the finishing touches on a good raid is to burn the place to the ground. If partaking in a rush bring some pyro tech, early defences will often be made of wood and if they aren't, will probably have no overhangs. A map with little to no water means any archer can easily solo and arrow climb their way up the defences and lob a satchel (which stick to walls) or loose a couple of fire arrows into the nearest factory tower. (If you can't climb try volleying.) Firing fire arrows will also let you penetrate knights shields.

• Submarine Subterfuge:
  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  If your attacking boat crashes into an enemies' sometimes the best route to take is to swim under the enemy ship and attack their base directly. Disregarding you as a useless lone archer they will concentrate on the rest of your team leaving you to scale their walls and give them a real reason to whine about archers being OP. As well as any fiery tactics mentioned above, you can hijack a mounted bow gun and pick off some of those bumbling builders milling about below. If escape is an option see if you can't pilfer some tech or even a trader. (At the very least he'll make good burgers).
• Crouching Archer Hidden Shadlington:
  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  

  Planting some extra bushes near the entrance of your base or in a flat, leafy area will give you additional foliage to hide behind giving you the chance to avoid the main force of the invaders and instead assassinate someone manning a siege weapon, escape boat or hauling a keg. Make sure to keep an eye out for archers arrow-climbing up your defences hoping to use some sort of incendiary device. (How dare they use such a cowardly tactic!)

• MM's Subterranean Sudden Gibberation:
  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  Grab some builder buddies and dig to the centre of the map (usually where the scroll of carnage is), this handy piece of parchment kills every enemy on screen. Simply dig further under the enemy base and use. Instant win. Accept no substitutes. Demonstrated by MM here:

  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  

• Cancellation Conglomeraterion:
  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  Even a weak arrow can block your enemy's speeding fletchings of doom. Quite hard to pull off but extremely useful in combat. Even harder to pull off is the act of actually catching one of the spleen-shredders. More a party trick than a useful tactic though.*

• Keg Butter, Knight Splutter:
  Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

  See an incoming attack? Hopelessly outnumbered? Don't worry. Simply grab a explosive device of your choice and swim towards the invading forces. With any luck several knights will jump mindlessly at you and blow themselves to smithereens. Meanwhile your teammates will take no notice of your heroic sacrifice as they erratically ping logs into the Strathosphere and slide a mill saw into the demolition factory. +50 Hero Points. Huzzah.

• Landoo2's Explosive Cruise:

Spoiler: Spoiler Hint

1. Grab a keg and stash it it the enemy's ship.
2. Allow the enemy so provide combustion.
3. ?
4. Profit.

Hope these handy hints help you become the ULTIMATE NINJA!
