Err..k back
Quoted from another server:
"Final Strike always hits its target, unless that target manages to block the skill using Pneuma or similar skill. Hence, final strike is considered a range attack, and can actually be cast up to 5 cells away. The damage caused by the skill completely negates the power of the weapon you have equipped, as well as any items or cards which might boost your attack power. Cards which boost your damage by a percent however, including The Sign, will affect how much you hit for. The damage of the skill can be reduced by the defence on the target."
So Pnuema > Final Strike ;O. A ninja with final strike wouldnt be as good as a champ for me..asura passes defense, cicada can be passed by something like blitz beat e z. but i have seen high dex/int ninja's that pwn o_o
