Dual resource system
Assassins are the only class using two resources simultaneously. Vigor regenerates naturally like the Ranger, while Bloodlust builds from critical hits and rapid strikes.
Bloodlust enables devastating finisher abilities. Rotating skills properly to maximize resource generation is essential for optimal damage.
Weapons
Sabre
The primary melee weapon. Fast strikes and combo chains for consistent close-range damage. Delivers precise hits even in chaotic battles.
Wrist Blades
The stealth weapon. Concealed blades for ambushes and surprise attacks with critical strike bonuses. Enables hit-and-run playstyle.
Musket
The ranged weapon. Long-range precision for surprise takedowns and opening attacks. Allows engagement before closing to melee range.
Playstyle
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.
Acrobatic abilities create distance when needed, and stealth enables repositioning between attacks.
PvP focus
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.
