Shrouded in secrecy and mysticism, the Ninja is a formidable warrior that strikes swiftly before quietly escaping into the night. The elusive Ninja has an eclectic repertoire to dispatch enemies from the shadows: as a hybrid job, the Ninja specializes in dodge skills and attacks using Ninja Daggers, Shurikens, Kunai, and even magic.

===Description===
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 throw using the skill [[Throw Huuma Shuriken]]. Ninjas can also endow themselves with several different abilities: [[Cicada Skin Shed]] and [[Illusionary Shadow]] prevents almost all non-magical damage from harming them. [[Reverse 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. [[Soul]] is a self buff that adds +5 STR and +5 INT, as well as allowed [[Illusionary Shadow]] and [[Final Strike]] to be used.

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

==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.
