Overview

Ninjas have three types of attacks: magical attacks, throwing attacks, and "stealth" attacks. The main weapons are Daggers and Huuma Shurikens, large shurikens that can be thrown using the skill Throw Huuma Shuriken. Ninjas can also endow themselves with several different abilities: Cicada Skin Shed and Mirror Image prevents almost all non-magical damage from harming them. Flip Tatami gives the same protection from ranged attacks as Pneuma for three seconds so long as he or she does not change position and also knocks surrounding monsters away. Ninja Aura is a self buff that adds +5 STR and +5 INT, as well as allowed Mirror Image and Killing Strike to be used.

Ninjas and Gunslingers are expanded classes and cannot rebirth or be adopted. Because of this, Ninjas and Gunslingers are granted 69 skill points to distribute.

Ammunition & Catalysts

Ninjas have two types of ammunition: Shuriken and Kunai. In addition, certain Ninja skills require catalysts that can only be purchased in Amatsu.

Shuriken

Used for the skill Throw Shuriken. The bonus damage added by the skills Dagger Throwing Practice and Throw Shuriken act like mastery bonuses and therefore bypass normal defense. It will also hit, even if the Ninja would normally miss it's target.

See Shuriken for a list of available Shurikens.

Kunai

Used for the skill Throw Kunai. The damage done by Kunai also bypasses most the enemies defense and will hit, even if the Ninja would normally miss. Also, Kunai have to be manufactured, unlike Shuriken which can be purchased from the NPC directly. Only Ninjas can make Kunai through an NPC at the Ninja Guild in Amatsu.

See Kunai for a list of available Kunai.

Catalysts

Catalyst Stones are needed to cast various magic-type Ninja skills and to manufacture Kunai.

Catalyst Stones:

Name	Cost	Required for
Flame Stone	150z	Blaze Shield and Exploding Dragon
Ice Stone	150z	Watery Evasion and Snow Flake Draft
Wind Stone	150z	Lightning Jolt and First Wind
Shadow Orb	200z	Mirror Image

Skills

Ninjas have three primary branches of skills: Throwing, Deception and Magic. The player can opt to master one branch, or mix elements from two branches. They also have the sub-branch with supportive skills, and an "Ultimate" skill.

Throwing skills rely on the user's STR for damage, while Magic skills use INT, meaning that these two branches are rarely mixed. Deception is a mix of evasion skills and attack skills, and usually all Ninja builds will include Cicada Skin Shed due to its usefulness in avoiding attacks.
