Listed below is a showcase from the Job Actions Trailer featuring a collection of battle actions for Ninja.

In addition, the following information was shown and talked about during the Letter to the Producer Live 81:

• Huton's has been moved to a trait and will always be active. ( Huton will be changed to an AoE attack which grants the effect of Hidden)
• Actions which extend the duration of Huton's effect will be adjusted in accordance with the above change.

While this is all subject to change before actual release, we have a good idea of how the job will play in Dawntrail. If you enjoyed our current iteration of Ninja in Endwalker, then you are in luck, because the version that we have seen of Dawntrail seems to be very very similar. The changes that we see from the media tour doesn't seem to affect our current rotation at all outside of us having an extra oGCD to use every 2 minutes, in the form of Tenri Jindo. We still want to prioritize Aeolian Edge inside of buffs if we have our Kazematoi just like we did previously assuming we had a high enough timer on Huton, and if we don't, then we are building with Armor Crush. Our 2-minute burst windows have gotten slightly busier and slightly burstier.
