Raiton (らいとん? or 雷遁の術, Raiton no Jutsu?, lit. Unleashed Lightning or Unleashed Lightning Technique) is a recurring type of Ninjutsu magic in the Final Fantasy series. It commonly appears in the MMO-genre titles in the series as a substitute for the recurring Blitz ability, but has since appeared in certain spin-off titles.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy XI[]
The Ninja learns three different levels of Raiton abilities. Raiton: Ichi is learned at level 15, Raiton: Ni at Level 40, and Raiton: San at level 75.
Each Raiton ability does lightning-elemental damage and lowers the target's resistance to earth damage. Both effects increase in efficiency with the level of the Raiton ability used.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Raiton is a Ninjutsu available to Ninjas at Level 35. Its combination is Ten→Chi or Jin→Chi. Raiton deals 360 lightning-elemental damage to a target.
In PvP, Raiton replaces Assassinate after executing Three Mudra. It delivers lightning-elemental damage to a target with a potency of 2,000. It also resets the Shukuchi recast timer.
Some enemy NPC ninjas can use a version of Raiton that is an area-of-attack instead of single-target.
