| Ravager | Shindroid | Ravagers are shindroids who have expanded their nanites’ capacity, focusing less on subtlety and more on flashy energy melee weapons. |
| Shadow | — | The shadow is a ninja trained in mystic arts beyond the mastery of ki and poisons, creating an assassin-spellcaster who combines secrecy with magic and mind-over-matter techniques to become an arcane killer and scout.

| Silent Wave | Sahagin | When sahagins attack a vessel, they will lurk beneath the waves unseen. A sahagin ambush will only happen when a ship is at its most vulnerable. Groups of sahagin will wait silently beneath the water’s surface, sometimes following a vessel for days. Sailors around the world agree; like the calm before the storm, the silent waves are the most fearsome. |
| Unseen Hand | — | While some ninja seek to perfect the art of the shuriken or some other weapon, the Unseen Hand chooses to eschew these weapons and instead focus on channeling ninjutsu through their fists. |
| Woodland Stalker | Viera | The woods are a dangerous place for those unfamiliar with its inhabitants, beasts prowl unseen, moving swiftly and silently in pursuit of their prey. One would never know of the wolf stalking them unseen, or of the snake that hangs just out of sight and ready to strike, or the wildcat hidden in the brush with cold calculation in its eyes. But none of these dangers compare to that of those who have ascended beyond the beasts in their prowess, the mighty few Viera who train for this know one thing, let no prey escape. |
