Ikkikasei Doubles Number of Hits

Ninjas boast abilities that not only boost attack power but also specialize in increasing hit count. For example, Ikkikasei increases the number of hits by 100% and significantly raises damage dealt. Combining this with Frenetic Fighting, an ability acquired at job level 14, expands the hit count limit from 16 to 32, significantly increasing Ikkikasei's damage output.

How to Play the Ninja

High Speed and High Hit Count

The Ninja is an appealing job known for its high speed and numerous attacks. With excellent evasion and dexterity, it has the potential to unleash some of the highest physical damage among all jobs as it advances. Their high dexterity further ensures consistent damage from normal attacks, adding to their strengths.

Powerful Normal Attacks with Dual Wield

To maximize a Ninja's damage as an attacker, utilize their Dual Wield ability to equip both hands with high-attack power weapons, instantly boosting normal attack damage. Leveraging abilities like Ikkikasei, which increases the number of hits by 100% and significantly raises damage dealt, further boosts their offensive power.

Combining Ikkikasei with Frenetic Fighting, an ability acquired at job level 14, expands the hit count limit from 16 to 32, providing an overwhelming number of strikes and dramatically increasing Ikkikasei's damage output in a short turn.

Combine with Sword Magic or Hawkeye

For powerful elemental strikes, setting Sword Magic (Spell Fencer) as a subcommand to imbue weapons with elemental weaknesses creates a powerful tactic, allowing you to strike decisively with Brave or Ikkikasei. Given the Ninja's high dexterity, it's also effective to combine it with Hawkeye (Ranger) even when using weapons with lower accuracy.
