Clouded Horizons:Assassin

Assassin is an Extended Class in the Eighth Realm specializing in stealthy attacks and debilitating status effects in battle.

Overview

The Assassin is a melee class that sets up attack chains in order to grievously wound and debilitate an enemy. Assassins prefer daggers due to their quick attack rate, allowing them to make their cutting attacks as often as possible. They approach combat by setting up attack chains, combining their variety of Lead, Off-Hand, and Dual Attacks in a number of fashions. They can also stack up to 3 attacks to unleash in one turn for a massive burst of damage, at the cost of increasing the time until their next turn. Assassins rely on agility and especially evasion to survive in extended confrontations, as this class is heavily weighted towards taking out enemies one after another in swift succession.
