City of Villains Ninjitsu field guide: Lesson 312 Placate Allows you to trick a foe to no longer attack you. A successful Placate will also hide you. This Hide is very brief, and offers no Defense bonus, but it will allow you to deliver a Critical Hit or Assasins Claw. However, if you attack a Placated Foe, he will be able to attack you back.
