Ninja is a high-skill stealth character that rewards aggressive, calculated play. With +0.5% Evasion per level and the ability to execute enemies after dodging, Ninja turns defense into offense.
What makes Ninja unique is the counter-attack playstyle. Every time you dodge an attack (which happens more frequently as you level up), you execute a nearby enemy. This creates a risk-reward loop: dive into danger, dodge attacks, eliminate threats, repeat. The Katana starting weapon perfectly complements this with fast melee attacks and high crit scaling.
Ninja excels in mid-to-late game once evasion reaches 20-30%+, allowing for consistent execution procs. Combine this with evasion items like Slippery Ring and Phantom Shroud, and you become an untouchable assassin that eliminates priority targets instantly. High skill ceiling, but incredibly rewarding when mastered.
