Strengths and Weaknesses<\/div> \n \nThe Ninja is a swift and lethal class. His power rivals that of the [Wizard](\/wiki\/wizard), and becomes superior against high defense enemies. Skilled players can take full advantage of the Ninja's speed and power. The speed boost he possesses can be activated at will, giving him a rushing flexibility exclusive to the class. The stars also allow Ninja to strike enemies well beyond the range of any weapon.\n\nHis weaknesses mainly lie with the Katana, a short range weapon that ties the Ninja's raw damage output down. The speed also takes quite a bit of time to adjust to, especially when considering how frail the class is. At least Katanas can shoot further than swords, and Ninjas are still quite a strong class (their star contributes towards DPS).\n\nLike any melee class, a freshly leveled Ninja might struggle to farm godlands or complete events compared to non-melee classes, largely due to the short range of katana. The Star helps with getting soulbound, but isn't effective for dealing with bosses.\n \n##
Group and Dungeon Role<\/div> \n\nNinjas are a fast class; their ability to rush quickly and dish enemy-piercing damage makes them excel on the easier end of dungeons. In many dungeons, the whole group can teleport to you, saving everybody time. With the highest sustained speed in the game, Ninjas are also useful at a unique role: closing realms. While [Tricksters](\/wiki\/trickster) with good Magic Heal might be faster, Ninjas are a close second, while the speed is easier to handle than the teleport.\n\nNinjas remain a frail-yet-powerful class in dungeons where rushing is not important. They can also provide useful debuffs with the Midnight Star's paralysis, and more dubiously, the Spider Shuriken's slow.\n\n
Summary<\/div><\/h2> \nThe Ninja is a very effective class if you want to kill things quickly and have an itchy trigger finger on your ability key. If you want a powerful piercing melee class that can also rush dungeons quickly, and you can manage the lack of armor or healing abilities, then the Ninja is for you."],[[],[]]);initializeCookieConsentBanner("e");
