Ninja

The Ninja is an expanded class that fights with shuriken, kunai and huuma blades, vanishes into the shadows, and channels elemental ninpou magic. It is a flexible hybrid able to build into a physical assassin, an elemental nuker, or a slippery support, depending on which skill line is invested in.

Overview

Ninjas reach their job change without a transcendent (rebirth) tier. Their kit splits into three pillars:

Physical / Throwing — shuriken and huuma attacks built on Kenpou Training (STR & Hit), capped by the Death Mark burst line.
Shadow / Support — mobility, evasion and the Ninja Aura battle state.
Ninpou Magic — Fire, Water and Wind spell lines built on Ninpou Training (INT & SP), tied together by the elemental "haze" passives.

Role

Physical burst: store damage with Death Mark, then unload Shadow Slash and Tsugari.
Elemental caster: pick a Fire, Water or Wind line and amplify it with the haze passives.
Skirmisher: Shadow Jump, Cicada Skin Shedding and Mirror Image make the Ninja hard to pin down.

Skills

Throwing line
