Master Ninja

Learn about the Master Ninja class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! Stats, growth rates, skills like Lethality and Shurikenfaire, and how to make the most of this fast, mage-killing unit.

Alright, let's talk about the Master Ninja in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! This class is basically a souped-up Ninja, focusing on speed and critical hits. They're Hoshidan, meaning they're trained in using both shuriken (daggers) and katanas (swords) on their missions.

You'll want to know their stat growths, because they're pretty unique. They've got a 5% growth in Health and Strength, a measly 0% in Magic and Luck, but a whopping 20% in Skill, Speed, and Resistance. That high Skill and Speed is where they really shine, making them accurate and able to double-attack often. The 20% Resistance growth also makes them surprisingly good at taking down enemy mages.

When it comes to weapons, the Master Ninja can wield both Shuriken/Daggers and Katana/Swords. This versatility is great for adapting to different enemy types.

Now, let's look at their skills. They get two really cool ones:

Lethality is a high-risk, high-reward skill. It's not going to trigger all the time, but with their high Skill growth, you'll see it pop up more often than you might expect, leading to some awesome instant kills. Shurikenfaire is fantastic if your unit relies heavily on shurikens or daggers. Stacking multiple "-faire" skills on a unit can turn them into an absolute powerhouse, making them a popular choice for skill-buying in MyCastle.

Overall, the Master Ninja is a really solid class. Their speed and accuracy, combined with the minor debuffs from shurikens, make them incredibly effective. They're one of the best choices for dealing with mages thanks to their high Resistance growth. Plus, you get one regardless of which story path you choose, which is always a bonus!
