Tip for level 45 ninjas

[EmoKuriboh]

Both formations of the ninjutsu end with the same symbol
Katon (2 mudras) will always end in Ten
Raiton (2 mudras) ends with Chi
Hyoton (2 mudras) ends with Jin
Huton (3 mudras) -- Ten
Duton (3 mudras) -- Chi
Suiton (3 mudras) -- Jin

So even if you mess up the initial button press, which is likely to happen since they threw four new ninjutsu at you anyway, you can still save it to the one you want.
The first mudras don't matter as long as you end with the proper one, and have the right number in total.
It is good to get them in muscle memory to begin with, but if you get lag or something you can think on your feet to avoid getting the bunny

And make sure on the 3 Murdas, you use all 3 of the signs. Using two of the same, no matter what order, will be a bunny as well.

Mind blown.
Been playing ninja since launch... never knew, lol
This will help with the occasional times the game doesn't pick up my first Mudra input when I'm trying to bang out a Suiton or w/e. Thanks! =O

I'm too late for this. My finger reactions hit the correct combos like 98% of the time (the other 2% is if I stop casting to throw a Shuriken or Raiton).

This is why people need to read their tooltips when they get a new ability.

I think it's more about perception. Even if all people looked at the tool tips, some people easily recognise patterns (egen where there is none, on occasion) and some people, well, don't. So its difference between:
A
"Oh, ok, two different combos, I'll learn the the one that comes more easily" "oh, two possibleble combos for this too, let's learn this one"

B
"Oh, two different combos that end to same mark" "of this one has also two different combos that end to the same mark" "Mm, so all three mark combos are defined by the ending mark, same for the two mark combos"

Yes and no. For a beginner this is absolutely true, but once you hit lv45 you really should start thinking bigger picture of how you enter your Mudra. For example, when I go to use Raiton, I NEVER use the Ten-Chi combo I had been using at lower levels and instead had to retrain myself to using Jin-Chi. The reason here being that if I'm fighting a primal and it goes into a jump phase, or if I'm using it on a floor mob, and it dies before I can use it, I haven't wasted my Mudra if I no longer have a target. If I go with Ten-Chi then my only other next option is Jin to cast Suiton and if I still have no target, I only have a few seconds to find one, however if I use Jin-Chi, then I can just use Ten and refresh my Huton so there's no risk of it falling off when the enemy reappears or by the time we get to the next group.

I'd disagree with you on the level for when you should start thinking big picture (since 45 is when they throw all the new ninjutsu at you and it can be easy to get overwhelmed early on), but that is a great point about using Jin-Chi over Ten-Chi, and something that I'll have to train myself to do as well
