Master Ninja

Learn about the Master Ninja class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! Discover its stat growths, weapon proficiencies, and powerful skills like Lethality and Shurikenfaire.

Alright, let's talk about the Master Ninja in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! This is a Hoshidan advanced class, basically a souped-up version of the Ninja. They're all about speed, accuracy, and hitting hard with shurikens and katanas. Think of them as the ninjas who train other ninjas – pretty cool, right?

Here's a look at their stat growth rates. Keep in mind these are what you can expect on average as they level up:

As you can see, they really shine in Skill and Speed, with a decent Resistance growth too. Don't expect them to tank hits or hit super hard with physical attacks, but they'll be dodging and landing critical blows like nobody's business.

When it comes to weapons, they're versatile:

Now for the really exciting part – their skills!

Let's break down those skills. Lethality is a high-risk, high-reward ability. With a 20% Skill growth, you're looking at about a 5% chance for it to trigger on any given hit (20% x 0.25 = 5%). It won't happen all the time, but when it does, it's an instant KO! It's super satisfying when it works, especially against tough enemies. Shurikenfaire is a must-have if your Master Ninja is going to be using shurikens or daggers a lot. That extra +5 damage can really add up, especially when combined with their high Speed allowing for double attacks.

Overall, the Master Ninja is a fantastic class. They're excellent at taking down mages thanks to their Resistance, and their high Speed combined with the accuracy debuffs from shurikens means they rarely miss. Plus, they're almost guaranteed to get those crucial double hits. It's great that you get access to this class no matter which path you choose in the game!
