Hailing from the war-torn lands of the Far East, the secret arts of the ninja were born of necessity, and have since given rise to a unique breed of highly-trained combatants.

Able to manipulate the vital energies of the land, the air, and living beings, they manifest their power through the weaving of signs, unleashing a wide array of attacks against their foes. Master the arts of the ninja and learn to bend the tide of battle to your will.

    Current WIP for updated hotbars in 7.0, focusing on minimising swapping hotbars in combat and keeping visual clarity on relevant buff cooldowns and maximising consistency across all jobs. Bar 1 is for single target, and Bar 2 for AoE.

    The Glamour Plate button is being used in place of the newly added skill as needed, and the dye represents potion. Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

    Ten (1) - Chi (2) = Raiton (Single target dmg)

    Single use of any mudra = Fuma Shuriken (Single target dmg)

    Chi (2) - Jin (1) = Katon/Goka Mekkyaku (AOE dmg)

    How I set up my crossbars as a ninja on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

    I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

    Used the following link to add keybinds to the back triggers : https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/vdnmji/advanced_controller_tips_for_steam_deck/

    ||| L4 -> Target nearest enemy
    ||| R4 -> Cycle through enemies (nearest -> furthest)
    ||| L5 -> Sprint
    ||| R5 -> Inventory

    ||| L2 + L5 -> Mount
    ||| L2 + R5 -> Armour chest
    ||| R2 + R5 -> Chobo inventory

    I'm a small streamer that loves FFXIV and many other things. The XHBs I publish are solely how I personally like to organize my Hotbars when on the controller! Feel free to use them if you too like them! Some are thrown together and some are planned out.
