The Assassin skill tree is centered around stealth, deception, and dealing deadly, precise strikes. Characters who specialize in this path focus on ambushing enemies, evading detection, and striking from the shadows. Skills in this tree enhance stealth abilities, critical hits, and poison use, allowing the character to eliminate high-priority targets with great efficiency.
Passives
|
Deadly Strikes: Gain 6% armor penetration, allowing your attacks to cut through enemy defenses with greater efficiency. |
|
Relentless Pursuit: When dealing more than 12% of an enemy's health in a single hit, regain 5 stamina on a heavy hit or sprint attack, and 1 stamina on a light hit. |
Abilities
Blink
This ability allows the character to instantly teleport across the battlefield, closing the gap between them and their target with deadly precision. Upon blinking to an enemy, the "Assassinate" buff is activated, granting the assassin a surge of power that deals significant bonus damage, making every strike a lethal blow.
Stalk
This ability grants the character the power of invisibility, allowing them to vanish from sight and become hidden from enemies. As they disappear, a smoke bomb is left behind, further obscuring their presence and making it significantly harder for enemies to target them with attacks or spells. The combination of stealth and distraction provides a perfect opportunity for evasive maneuvers or surprise strikes. NOTE: This ability doesn't hide the Tot character bio/description icon.
