Ultimate Ninja Build Guide: One-Combo Kill Strategy for Dominating PVP

Introduction

In today's guide, I'll be showcasing what is currently the most powerful ninja build in the entire game. This build is absolutely devastating, capable of one-combo killing squishy classes and even two-combo killing warriors with 800 HP and 2000 armor. Most impressively, this combo has virtually no cooldown, allowing you to continuously output massive damage.

Race Selection

To maximize this build's damage potential, I strongly recommend choosing Half Golem and following the Assault Golem path. This provides you with:

  • 12% damage increase buff
  • Robustness trait for improved survivability

Half Golem is undoubtedly the best race in the game, especially for ninja builds focused on maximizing damage output.

Core Equipment

Weapons

  • Main Hand: Ragnarok Dagger with Goblin Champion Rune (provides 3% physical attack and 8 strength)
  • Off Hand: Ideally another Ragnarok Dagger
    • While weapon effects don't stack, you still gain 5 stamina (about 20 HP), 23 agility, and 2% crit chance

Armor Set

Using the Elder Set with the following rune configuration:

  • Chest: Almost fully min-maxed with Lethal Rune, Serpent Rune, Mudcrab Rune, Goblin Rune, and Bear Rune, providing 8% magic resistance
  • Boots: Fully min-maxed with Hill Troll Rune, Panther Rune, Razor Fang Rune, and Bear Rune
  • Helmet: Not min-maxed yet, but can include Storm Core Rune for lightning effects

Rings

  • Vampiric Ring: Works well with Ragnarok's crit effect
  • Primordial Ring: Provides additional damage when hunger is low
  • Focus Ring: Increases focus value
  • Piercing Band: Offers 10% physical penetration
  • Ruby Lantern: Provides additional stats

Core Skills & Combo

The primary skills used in this build:

  • All three Focus Training skills to maximize focus regeneration
  • Rising Fang: Opener for the combo
  • Ren: Used immediately after Rising Fang
  • Shuriken Barrage: Used during Ren's spinning animation
  • Ambush: Used when enemy is bleeding for massive damage

Combo Execution:

  1. Jump and immediately use Rising Fang (the jumping version has higher hit rate)
  2. Immediately use Ren for the spinning attack
  3. During Ren's spinning animation, spam Shuriken Barrage to ensure all shurikens hit
  4. By now the enemy should be bleeding, immediately use Ambush for maximum damage
  5. With Savage Battle Aura active and some luck with crits, this combo can one-shot any class

Pet Selection

For PVP, the Spider is the optimal choice:

  • 163 HP at level 40 (even more than player characters)
  • Jumps onto enemies and grabs them
  • Difficult to hit with abilities like Flamethrower
  • Greatly disrupts enemy combat flow

PVE Performance

This build excels in PVE content as well:

  • Capable of quickly dispatching world bosses
  • Ambush skill can deal an entire bar of damage (around 500) to bosses
  • Nearly cooldown-less combo allows for sustained high damage output

Alternative Equipment Options

If you haven't acquired all top-tier equipment yet:

  • Weapon Alternatives: Consider using Dire Dagger paired with Primordial Ring, or Arachnid Bite
  • Runes: Don't need to fully min-max rune slots as the base build is still extremely powerful
  • Even a basic version can achieve 12% crit rate and 17% magic resistance

Faction Reputation & Target Gear

The author is currently working toward earning reputation to acquire:

  • Shadow Step gear: Provides 25 agility and 3% speed boost
  • Abyssal Shroud: Offers additional stamina and health
  • Rune Cover: Used to fill empty rune slots on equipment

Conclusion

This ninja build is currently one of the strongest PVP builds in the game, with damage output far exceeding other classes. While it may receive nerfs in the future, choosing ninja over assassin is currently the optimal choice for PVP. Focus on using the four core abilities—Rising Fang, Ren, Shuriken Barrage, and Ambush—and you'll be able to easily defeat opponents in PVP.
