The Ninja is a job in Final Fantasy Dimensions obtained at the end of the fourth Tome of Darkness chapter, and is exclusive to the Warriors of Darkness.
Appearance[]
Nacht and Glaive dress as formal armored ninjas, while Diana and Alba wear more traditional kunoichi garb.
Overview[]
Ninjas equip light armor emphasizing evasion. Much of their armor and headgear come with status-boosting bonuses, namely to strength, speed, and vitality. All katanas deal effective damage to humans, while later examples include a secondary type, and innate access to Dual Wield allows for selection of bonus damage. Ninja share the same issue with Dragoon: their Ninjutsu is powered by Intelligence, and thus does greater damage in the hands of a mage. They have enough going for them in the physical department, however, that this is barely a problem. Levels in Ninja are desirable even without considering what Fusion Abilities it enables, though in their hands Midareyuki is a six-hit attack that can easily rival the damage inflicted by Final Heaven and Phantom Rush. Paired with Dancer, a Ninja can hit very impressive damage with Sword Dance; their high speed and MP allow them to use the ability as often as a speed-focused attacker using Recollect.
