Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat the Ninja, and unlock her super useful Job Asterisk!
-----------------------------------------------------
The Ninja doesn't like to talk much, but she's more than prepared to end lives. She will use Shippujinrai to attack first during the turn, likely causing K.O. to your weakest party members. Often, she will Default to build up BP and then dish out two lots of Shippujinrai to really dish out the damage when you don't want it most.
If any ally reaches critical HP, you may wish to Default with them and not bother healing them, as Kikyo's Shippujinrai will likely take them out before you can heal them. When the ally inevitably dies, resurrect them with your spare BP and continue the good fight.
Kikyo's other trick is Utsusemi, which evades a single physical attack with 100% rate; when she uses this, use a normal attack to get rid of it. However, each time Kikyo evades an attack, she will counter with Transience, so expect to take damage.
Kikyo only uses physical attacks, so high defence and defence buffs are good to have. For offence, stick with abilities that do damage (like the Pirate's Double Damage and Valkyrie's Judgement) to minimise misses (and thus counter attacks) or, better, magic to bypass Utsusemi.
If you're struggling, field a high defence Knight and a team of powerful spell-casters with low HP. Since Kikyo's attacks are all single-target, they will be absorbed by the Knight's Protect Ally ability, allowing your casters to rain magic without putting their lives at danger.
