Assassin

Assassin is a highly mobile physical damage class that uses daggers and light armor.

The class's main mechanic revolves around a special resource called Assassin's Daggers. Many basic offensive and movement skills generate Assassin's Daggers, which can then be consumed to use the class's most powerful abilities.

Assassins can also apply stacking debuffs to their enemies. Depending on the chosen effect, they can gradually reduce either the target's offensive or defensive capabilities.

The skill values below are shown at their maximum level.

Class Features

Assassin's Daggers

Assassin's Daggers are the Assassin's unique class resource.

The character can hold up to 10 Assassin's Daggers at a time.

Resolve to Kill also temporarily increases the number of Assassin's Daggers generated by other skills.

Gameplay

The Assassin's gameplay revolves around constantly alternating between generating and consuming Assassin's Daggers.

Basic offensive skills quickly generate the resource:

Blow → Shadow Attack → Relentless Attack → Forward Move

Once enough Assassin's Daggers have been accumulated, the character can use powerful finishing skills:

• Assassination — a powerful single-target attack;
• Clone Dance — an attack against multiple enemies.

Resolve to Kill can be used to immediately fill the Assassin's Dagger resource and temporarily improve further resource generation.

Depending on the situation, the Assassin can also choose between two stacking debuffs:

• Erosion — reduces the target's P. Atk. and M. Atk.;
• Murder Attempt — reduces the target's P. Def. and M. Def.

Thanks to Forward Move, Return Motion, Shifty, and Time Distortion, the Assassin can quickly reposition, close the distance to enemies, escape dangerous situations, and temporarily improve survivability.
