help me make a strong ninja

well, if u actually read the guide on ninja, u might know some stats and stuff.

since close range... i would think u want to go agi/crt build.

for equips, since u alr said u are new, i doubt u can get stuff like ganei, which is pretty much considered one of the best xtals for ninja. so...
weapon: koda 2
armor: schwartz
additional: ghost ring/dark wings(dark wings can be obtained for free from guild raid, but u need to complete grecia mq. ghost ring is pretty cheap tho.)
special: since u are new, and wouldnt have xtals and stuff, i would recommend magical ring(-40% in hp)

since u are a ninja, u would want to have low hp(preferably 1) to be able to clone. so, those equips that i recommended, u wouldnt actually need them till u are actually a ninja(lvl 100+). in fact, it wouldnt be advisable to use them b4 you turn into a ninja due to the hp minus(koda 2 is fine tho, no hp minus)

Solo ninja would be 256 AGI, 256 CRT, and 256 DEX OR STR.
Why? > Because with a(n) AGI, CRT build you are able to evade attacks easier and solo faster.

Go AGI, CRT, DEX if you want to be able to spam a ninja's wild dance.
Go AGI, CRT, STR if you mainly want power.

Each clone you make equals the amount of time it takes to spam wild dance.
    -EX: With 9 clones you can spam wild dance about every 9 secs.

I guess for starter gear, you'd need at least a kodachi (claw weapon), ghost ring (additional equipment), and schwartz (armor), magical ring ns and/ or atleta ring ns (special equipment). <(This is my opinion)

Your clones will protect you from getting hit so don't worry about having with 1HP. You'll also need some sort of HP gear for certain bosses.

Ninja's only have 3 (?) skills that you can actually use to start off with. > Raiton no Justsu, Katon no Justsu, and Bunshin no Jutsu.
You don't get any more skills until 140 where you can do the quest for wild dance. Also, at 140 you can get Katon no Justsu skill lvl 2. Other skills won't come until lvl 180+. With the exception of Raiton no Jutsu, which is at 160.(?) (Someone correct me if I'm wrong. My memories not so good.)

CONS of being a ninja:
    - Stun causes you to loose all your clones.
    - Needs vaccines (blind, paralyze, poison).
    - Need lots of salt or remagic L depending on how much skills you spam. > For me, i use a lot of salt because I spam wild dance when I solo.
    - Expensive xtals > about 15 million spina for 1 Ganei xtal (sometimes people sell for 13.5m or 14m).

PROS of being a ninja:
    - Can solo most bosses up to a certain point.
    - You can easily solo grind to level up.
    - Can make money if you know what you're doing.

**DON'T FORGET! THE WHOLE IDEA OF BEING A NINJA IS TO HAVE AS CLOSE TO 1HP AS POSSIBLE.**
 
    

Dex isn't necessarily to spam wild dance. Agi/Crt/Dex build is really for the ease of cloning, as well as eventual switch to bow ninja.

I am starting to feel that this is the case; though I have read a Lot of arguments For building up Dex for the skill delay.

I Do wish they'd add more Special Bow though, or at least bring Yumi back. From every thing I've read, it's quite literally a game changer for the class

Yumi would be better than koda? I'm not even sure how special bows work. And also, was it in an event that will come back?

I honestly wouldn't switch to special bow ninja before 168 so you can have maxed agi/crt. Before both maxed, it sucks, tbh. Stay nail user til 168.
