Why this build works

Huuma Shuriken is heavy ranged area damage that is physical, so STR drives it while DEX provides the hit and consistency. It is one of the cleanest "gather and delete" tools available outside the mage classes.

Throw from range, reposition, throw again. The Ninja's mobility skills are what keep the build safe — you are trading the armour of a melee class for the ability not to be there.

Skills that matter

Gear

Shuriken and huuma for the throwing build, STR and DEX gear, and INT enough to keep the jutsu available as a second mode.

Frequently asked questions

Is Huuma Shuriken physical or magical?

Physical, which is why STR is the main damage stat rather than INT, with DEX for hit and consistency.

What does Ninja Aura give on Payon Stories?

Two STR and two INT per level to a maximum of five ranks, so ten of each when fully ranked.

Should a Ninja invest in the elemental jutsu?

Enough to answer targets that resist your main damage. They are magic and scale with INT, so they work best as a secondary mode rather than as the whole build.
