I'm currently on way of the strong, using full Iga Jonin set and playing with a thrown build. It's been going great, but yesterday I upgraded my weapon from an old one -

This is even on first hit (not sneak/critical), or the second hit to a target with lots of hp, so the enemies defeated buff can't be active. I asked on reddit and close combat damage apparently does not affect thrown weapons.
Additionally, I'd love to know which mods do affect thrown weapons. So far I've pieced together this information:
- thrown damage
- thrown damage x2
- damage from behind
- scaling from agility/ninjutsu/equipment weight
- skill specific (kunai, shuriken) damage
But I'd love to know if special properties like weaken <torso, head, weapon> can also be triggered by thrown weapons and if mods such as Skill Damage also work with them. Same goes for mods that increase damage after absorbing amrita or defeating enemies.
