Ninja Aura is an active supportive skill of the Ninja class. The Ninja focuses their inner energy into a battle aura that sharpens both their strikes and their attack speed, while unlocking the full potential of several other techniques.
Overview
Ninja Aura is the Ninja's core offensive buff. It raises physical attack power and attack speed for the duration, and it empowers other skills: it enables Mirror Image, lets Throw Shuriken chain an extra hit, and strengthens the bonus that Shadow Slash grants to Tsugari. Maintaining the aura is central to the Ninja's melee rotation.
Mechanics
Effect: Self-buff that boosts the user's combat stats.
Physical Attack: +(5 × SkillLv) ATK.
Attack Speed: +(3 × SkillLv)% ASPD. This bonus does not stack with other ASPD buffs of the same kind; only the strongest one applies.
Formulas: SP cost = 10 + 10 × SkillLv; Cast time = 6 − SkillLv seconds; Duration = 30 + 30 × SkillLv seconds.
Enables Mirror Image: Mirror Image can only be cast while Ninja Aura is active, and casting it consumes the aura.
Empowers Throw Shuriken: while the aura is up, consecutive Throw Shuriken casts alternate between 1 and 2 hits. The sequence starts at 1 hit, rises to 2 on the next cast, then starts over. It resets if 3 seconds pass without using Throw Shuriken or when Ninja Aura ends. Missed or blocked throws still advance the sequence; changing targets or using another skill does not reset it.
Empowers Shadow Slash: the damage bonus that Shadow Slash grants to Tsugari rises from 20% to 40% while Ninja Aura is active.

Notes
- The aura is consumed when you cast Mirror Image, so plan to re-cast it if you rely on both buffs.
- The aura cannot be removed by Dispell.
- Higher levels both shorten the cast time and lengthen the duration, making max level much easier to keep active.
