Learn how to effectively use the Ninja job class in Final Fantasy III. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, best weapons, and strategies for maximizing damage with the Throw command.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Ninja is a standard upgrade to the Thief job class.
  2. 2
    Instead of stealing, the Ninja's primary offensive ability is to Throw items for massive damage.
  3. 3
    Items used with the Throw command are lost but can deal enormous damage, such as 9,999 with the Shuriken, making it highly effective against the final boss.
  4. 4
    The Ninja is generally bulkier, more powerful, and faster than the Thief.
  5. 5
    The Ninja retains the advantage of being able to stand in the back row.
  6. 6
    The Ninja can equip knives and Dark Blades.
  7. 7
    Ninjas have high speed, resulting in very high hit counts (20 hits are commonplace) to compensate for a middling attack stat compared to other offensive jobs.
  8. 8
    The Ninja's biggest weakness is its lack of magical defense, requiring a Devout to be present for support.
  9. 9
    Take advantage of the back row position due to the Ninja's high speed and hit counts.
Tips
  • Boomerangs include all items thrown to inflict damage without using the Throw command.
  • Consider using the Shuriken for its potential to deal 9,999 damage, especially against the final boss.
  • Always ensure a Devout is available to mitigate the Ninja's low magical defense.
  • Utilize the back row position to leverage the Ninja's speed and high hit counts.
