Best Yuffie abilities and how they work

Ninjutsu

Ninjutsu is Yuffie’s ability thatinfuses her long-ranged magic attackswith elemental damage. At the cost of ATB scale points, Yuffie can enhance her attacks with fire, wind, ice, or lightning elements. The icon on Yuffie’s health bar will change depending on which element she is using.

Yuffie can choose which element she will use for her attacks, and with Ninjutsu, she can attack the enemies' weaknesses without having to use spells.

Brumal Form

Brumal Form is Yuffie’s uniquedefensive stancethat allows her tododgeenemies' attacks. Not only that, but Brumal Form gives Yuffie an additional ATB charge with every successful dodge. This ability is entirely defensive, so it doesn’t deal damage but adds an invincibility frame to Yuffie when activated.

Art of War

Art of War is Yuffie’s ability that enhances her damage when used as a combo starter or connector. You can start a combo with Art of War or use it to connect two consecutive attacks. Attacks performed after you use Art of War will be significantly stronger. You can even use Art of War twice in a row, and the second one will be the enhanced version, Supreme Art of War.

Doppelganger

After a short cast time, Yuffie summons a clone of herself. The clone mirrorsYuffie’s actionon the battlefield, so you’re essentiallydoubling every actionyou take with Yuffie, even normal attacks! This is one of the best skills in Yuffie’s arsenal as you’redoubling your DPS, andpressure potentialwith Ninjutsu.

How to use Yuffie in Combat like a pro

Yuffie is acombo-heavy character, much like Tifa, but I figured out a simple way how I can use all of her abilities to maximize her damage potential in a battle. Here’s how you can use Yuffie in combat like a pro:

Since Yuffie relies on physical attacks on top of the elemental damage she outputs through her Shuriken, I recommend usingCrystalline Crossas your main weapon once you acquire it. You can alsoincrease her critchanceby equipping armor, accessories, and materias which addLuck.
