Subjective Analysis
The Ninja is unarguably a top tier class in the game. Able to equip two powerful ninja swords at the same time, and able to throw weapons at the enemy at a good range, they are lethal up close or at a range. Ninja weapons are not the easiest to come by, but they can also equip standard knives, so don't shy away from unlocking this class early. Ninjas are very fast, but also very weak in the HP department, so keep them healed up. The Mystic's Defense Boost or the Knight's Equip Heavy Armor is a good idea.
The Throw Shuriken and Throw Bombs throw abilities are the only really useful ones, because they're affordable. The rest tend to require you to be throwing old stuff you never sold, or spending a lot of money on extra weapons. Dual Wield is one of the best support abilities in the game and can make for some insanely broken physical attack units in the late game.
