Ninja - One of the most fun Perks to play in Killing Floor 3, with some of the Passives helping it to be very tanky against most Zeds.

Nakata, a retired assassin who returned to this bloodbath with Nightfall to redeem himself off of past sins, is real professional at:

• High Mobility, With Hebi-Ken it's real unmatched.

• Ability to parry & negate any damage like that.

• Cuts big Zeds swiftly like a tomato with the right build.

But even for an old man like him finds struggles, such as:

• Requiring the highest skill ceiling out of all classes. As such, beginners will find Ninja difficult.

• Highly affected by latency & FPS, parries will be delayed due to them (only Solo matches will help.)

• Requires communications with the team to think of the strategy for bosses and later waves.

here to master the arts of this Ninja after all? Then i'm not stopping you at all!
Pros & Cons learned, now we sharpen the Weapons.

Your main MVP of most matches! using the Secondary Mode can destroy most of Big Zeds, and the blades are faster in crowd control.

• Recommended Weapon Mods for Katanas.

• <- Stunning Coating (Coating)

Mandatory Coating as it helps with stunning Zeds in general.

• Padded Grip (Grip) ->

Gets some Zeds to Aggro on you instead in exchange for improving Block.

• <- Lightweight Blade (Blade)

More Attack Speed, more Stun Affliction, so much positive stuff about it!

• Ornate Guard (Guard) ->

Again, still only positive stuff about it.

• <- Balanced Pommel (Pommel)

More Attack Speed, also recovers some of the Block Stamina lost to Lightweight Grip.



If you're running a Bow Build, you can go for Yumi alternatively & deal with those Zeds from safe distance.

• Recommended Weapon Mods for Yumi.

• <- Laser Sight, Bow (Sight)

Reduced Recoil, & more rainbows!

• Large Quiver (Quiver) ->

More arrows!

• <- Exploding Arrows (Arrow)

The main thing that helps with Crowd Control.


Your Secondary Primary Weapon throughout most matches, able to deal with Zeds in safe distance better than Shurikens.

• Recommended Weapon Mods for Kunai.

• <- Enfeebling Venom (Coating)

Enfeebling Affliction will help weaken the Zeds, making them attack & move slower.

• Smooth Grip (Grip) ->

Projectile Speed, Accuracy & Stumble Affliction is pretty spectacular.

• <- Lightweight Blade (Blade)

More Attack Speed, more Stun Affliction, so much positive stuff about it!

• Whistler Pommel Ring (Pommel) ->

More Accuracy, more Penetration Power & Projectile Speed.

• <- Enfeebling Venom (Coating)

Enfeebling Affliction will help weaken the Zeds, making them attack & move slower.

• Sai Blade (Blade) ->

less accuracy with throwing in exchange for improving the melee abilities of it.

• <- Textured Grip (Grip)

again, more benefits for melee abilities since it decreases the accuracy even further.

• Weighted Pommel Ring (Pommel) ->

you get the point!

Honestly, it's better than nothing of a starting weapon.

• Recommended Weapon Mods for Kiba.

• <- Stunning Coating (Coating)

Mandatory Coating as it helps with stunning Zeds in general.

• Lightweight Grip (Grip) ->

Attack Speed & some Stun Affliction in trade of less Block Stamina.

• <- Lightweight Blade (Blade)

More Attack Speed, more Stun Affliction, so much positive stuff about it!

• Ornate Guard (Guard) ->

Again, still only positive stuff about it.

• <- Balanced Pommel (Pommel)

More Attack Speed, also recovers some of the Block Stamina lost to Lightweight Grip.

If you remember playing Berserker perk in other Killing Floor games (Or it's your first time with Killing Floor franchise), you're definitely familiar with parries.

Some of the Passives require you to perform a Perfect Parry in order to gain benefits from it, but how do hit and know it's a Perfect Parry?
When a Zed is about to attack and you hold Block just at the right time, the Zed will stumble and stagger back away. That's how you know you just hit a Perfect Parry (It will be more noticeable with some Passives you equip)

The main point of this tip is to always try to hit Perfect Parries to make Ninja a consistent perk to use, Although IT IS MORE DIFFICULT TO HIT THEM IN MULTIPLAYER DUE TO LATENCY.. It is best if you practice in Solo matches or time your delays in order to Perfect Parry.


Just a Reminder that you're not invincible as Ninja & you could pretty much get outnumbered quick if you're not careful about it (Especially with multiple Big Zeds chasing you). Try to stick to some of your teammates to help you heal off & jump back right into the field.

Also, Use Hebi-Ken wisely for situations when you're outnumbered.


Solo Match giving you trouble because you keep dying? Try your best to run away when you're low on Health OR multiple Big Zeds are on your tail. Try your best to use things like Ziplines & shortcuts
to make sure you're far away from your impending doom.


If you've already seen my Commando Guide, you probably know what to do.

But if you haven't.
think of your each strategies with Tools. You can use several different Tools & save them up for future waves, but note that the Tools are not unlimited & there's a limit for each wave.
(Try to make use of Multitool to unlock some doors, ziplines & armor storages.)

In conclusion The old man is pretty difficult to learn at first, but with practice & dedication he's an unstoppable one army man. Never forget: Parries are rewarding & Hebi-Ken must be used wisely.

Thank you so much in advance if this Guide helped you build Ninja better. be sure to leave a like on it to help this become popular!
