Ninjas are one of the four classes in Fortnite: Save the World. It is primarily associated with Melee Weapons and close combat.

Description

Ninja class is a Long Sword focused class, which has much better Speed and Mobility, versus the other classes in the game. They have less HP and Shield as a trade-off, but can escape easily from Husks or Wildlife attacks. Ninjas cannot take fall damage and can jump one additional time in the air. If they are using the Soaring Mantis team perk, they can jump an additional two times, which can be very useful to dodge attacks from monsters.
