First tier
Ninja
The Ninja seeks to fill the role of the proverbial "jack of all trades." Even at the first job level they possess a wide variety of skills, from melee and gap closers, to ranged and spacing, to single target and AoE magic.
While capable of wielding any dagger, Ninjas have access to a set of specialized daggers that improve both their physical and magical attack simultaneously. At the same time they gain access to a unique suite of offhand weapons: Shurikens, Kunai, and Huuma Shurikens. These grant skills to the equipping Ninja allowing them to fight from afar.
As will quickly become apparent to any fledgling Ninja, the key to maximizing a Ninja's potential is to tap into that versatility. Having access to Melee, Ranged, and Magical skills may seem conflicting at first, but with each set of skills scaling with the primary attribute of the others and providing buffs to them, experienced Ninjas will know just how to weave between the three fighting styles to optimize their performance, ensuring there is no gap in their assault.
Unlike the other First Jobs, Ninjas do not job change at level 50. Instead, they continue honing their skills until Base Level 99, at which point they transition into their final job.
