Executes a specific ninjutsu action coinciding with the combination of mudra made immediately beforehand.

Conversely, execution of weaponskills triggers the cooldown of this action.
Restores 2 charges to all mudra when Hide is executed while outside of combat.

— In-game description

Ninjutsu is an action unlocked at level 30. It is available for Ninja.

Mudra Combinations

The Ninjutsu action can perform one of several specific actions based on the combination of mudras made immediately beforehand. These individual actions can only be executed by using Ninjutsu, and cannot be assigned to the hotbar, nor activated from the Actions & Traits interface. The level is based of when you can first use the Ninjutsu.

Generally speaking, the action produced depends on the amount of mudras used, and the identity of the last mudra.

  • For 1- and 2-mudra actions, the identity of the first mudra does not matter.
  • For 3-mudra actions, the identities and order of the first 2 mudra do not matter.

Mudra charges are shared among all mudra, with 1 charge consumed per Ninjustsu cast (or Ninjutsu wearing off), regardless of how many mudra were selected. This means that at most 2 Ninjutsu can be cast per 2 mudra charges, even if the Ninjutsu cast does not use all 3 mudra.

  • For example: Using Katon will consume a charge from all 3 mudra, even though the player only needs to select 2 mudra to cast it.
