Ninja (Tactics A2)

Powerful swordsmen who can wield two weapons at once and use secret skills to evoke the power of wood and earth.

Description

Ninja is a job exclusive to humes in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.

Profile[]

The job has an emphasis on speed and inflicting status effects. The Ninja can dual wield weapons, greatly increasing his Attack power.

The natural progression of Soldier to Thief to Ninja leads to a very low Magick stat, meaning that the Ninja's many Veil attacks will be weak. However, as each ability can cause a status effect, when combined with the Ninja's potent speed and offensive power it can make them deadly. The low cost of the Ninja's abilities mean Turbo MP is a good passive ability choice, as the Ninja can still cast every turn, but with better damage and accuracy.

Maquis the Phantasm, an elite member of Duelhorn, is a Ninja with the ability to duplicate himself.

The Nightfall class used by Ewen is essentially a Ninja class as well, using the same Ninjutsu skill set and learning them from the same weapons.

The Dual Wield ability of a Ninja is used by Frimelda Lotice as soon as she is acquired, letting her deal a great amount of damage.
