Assassin
The Assassin arrived with Lord of Destruction — a martial-arts striker and trap-layer who charges up finishing blows and fights alongside shadow versions of herself.
Skill trees
- Martial Arts — charge-up strikes (Tiger Strike, Cobra Strike, Phoenix Strike) unleashed by finishers like Dragon Talon and Dragon Claw.
- Shadow Disciplines — Shadow Master, Burst of Speed, Fade, Cloak of Shadows, Mind Blast.
- Traps — laid sentries such as Lightning Sentry, Death Sentry and Wake of Fire.
How she plays
Either charge and release martial-arts combos in melee, or drop a wall of traps and let them kill while Shadow skills keep her safe. High skill ceiling, strong crowd control.
Common approaches
- Trapsin — Lightning Sentry, the classic caster-style build.
- Martial Arts — Phoenix and Tiger Strike melee.
- Kicksin — Dragon Talon kicker, often for uber runs.
