Assassin

General description

The assassin is a class specialized in isolating and taking down individual targets without getting caught. Because of this, the assassin is most suited for players who want to play alone or to not rely on others.

Unique mechanic(s)

Assassins have massive amount of underwhelming skills, with a few strong skills that become completely overpowered when used together, allowing them to take down unaware targets that are far stronger than themselves instantly in the right situation. They also can steal items from other players or NPCs.

Assassins should usually focus on their agility and luck stats, but they shouldn’t ignore their intelligence and crafting stats either.
