11 The Assassin is a stealth-oriented class specializing in burst damage and precision strikes. Assassins master stealth and striking from the shadows to eliminate targets with ruthless efficiency.

3-The Assassin was not playable in the first Closed Beta Test. Information comes from official previews and will be updated after future beta tests.
3+The Assassin was not playable in the first Closed Beta Test (June 2025). Only the Swordsman, Ranger and Berserker were available, and no test since has included the Assassin.

5+A note on sourcing. As of 2026-09-11 no developer note, store listing or official site text names the Assassin or describes any of its skills. What follows comes from reveal-era class copy and from early footage, and the weapon descriptions in particular are read off that footage rather than played. Nothing below is hands-on.

911 Dual Resource System
1012  
11-Assassins are the only class using two resources simultaneously. Vigor regenerates naturally like the Ranger, while Bloodlust builds from critical hits and rapid strikes.
13+Assassins are the only class using two resources at once. Vigor regenerates on its own, the same resource the Ranger draws on, while Bloodlust builds through critical hits and kills.

13-Bloodlust enables devastating finisher abilities. Rotating skills properly to maximize resource generation is essential for optimal damage.

1719 Sabre

19-The primary melee weapon. Fast strikes and combo chains for consistent close-range damage. Delivers precise hits even in chaotic battles.
21+One of two melee options, and the heavier of them. Footage shows charged strikes that trade speed for a large payoff, so the Sabre reads as the slower close-range weapon rather than the fast one. Reveal-era class copy credits the sabre and wrist blades together with landing precise hits even in the chaos of battle.
2022  
2123 Wrist Blades
2224  
23-The stealth weapon. Concealed blades for ambushes and surprise attacks with critical strike bonuses. Enables hit-and-run playstyle.
25+The faster of the two melee options. Rapid burst combos that apply stacks of poison, with mobility folded into the strikes themselves rather than sitting on separate dashes. Earlier write-ups described the wrist blades instead as the ambush weapon carrying critical-strike bonuses; the poison and speed framing is the more recent account, and no official surface has reconciled the two.

2527 Musket
2628  
27-The ranged weapon. Long-range precision for surprise takedowns and opening attacks. Allows engagement before closing to melee range.
29+The ranged weapon. Long-range precision for surprise takedowns and opening attacks. Allows engagement before closing to melee range. Its stated job is to keep pressure up after you disengage and to hold enemies at distance while you recover, rather than to work purely as an opener.

2931 Playstyle
3032  
3133 Assassins dive from the shadows, deal burst damage, then vanish before enemies can react. The class specializes in single-target combat and excels at eliminating priority targets.
3234  
3335 Acrobatic abilities create distance when needed, and stealth enables repositioning between attacks.

37+Swapping Inside the Combo
38+ 
39+Early footage of the Assassin shows extended burst combos that switch fluidly between the two equipped weapons: leap into melee, deal a burst, disengage, and keep applying Poison across the sequence. Of the six classes this is the clearest published example of Dual Weapon Switching happening inside a single combo rather than between phases of a fight. Poison recurs often enough in those descriptions to read as a signature debuff for the class rather than an incidental effect.

41+Expected Design Pillars
42+ 
43+The points below are stated as expectations for the class, not as observed behaviour, and they are repeated here with that framing intact.
44+ 
45+Rewards for landing critical strikes.Mobility folded into abilities rather than sitting on separate dashes.Single-target crowd control rather than group control.A heavier reliance on evasion as a defensive tool than other melee classes.Lower sustained damage than other damage dealers, traded for higher burst.

3749 Players expect the Assassin to dominate one-on-one duels through burst damage and stealth. The class functions similarly to Rogue archetypes in other games.

3951 Matrix Progression
4052  
4153 Like every class, the Assassin plugs into the Matrix System, the node-based progression layer Chrono Studio announced after the June 2025 closed beta. Each of the Assassin's three weapons (Sabre, Wrist Blades, and Musket) can evolve down one of four distinct paths, so two players on the same loadout can end up with different casting speeds, skill effects, and combat rhythm. The difference comes from the stats allocated through the Matrix, the passive skills unlocked along a path, and the attributes on equipped gear. The node layout is still under development, so treat specific path details as subject to change before launch.
