Assassin



Role: DPS/Status Infliction; Weapon: Single/Dual Katanas,Gun The Assassin is a physical damage dealing class able to deal both close and long range attacks. They have the choice of wielding one or two Single-Hand Katanas for an up-close melee style or choose to keep a distance using Guns. Unlike the Warrior or Cleric, the Assassin cannot absorb as much incoming damage, instead using tricks and status inflicting skills against enemies.

Special Skill: Dodge
Using Dodge allows assassins to evade incoming attacks by moving a short distance instantly; however, one will still take damage if rolling head-on toward an incoming AOE(area of effect) attack.

Dual-Katana Assassin
Dual-Katana Assassin has the advantage of gaining stats from two weapons as opposed to others who only equip one weapon, giving slightly higher DPS(damage per second) rate compared to a Single-Katana Assassin with the same stat build. It is also the best style to suit a full AGI(agility) build due to the dual-weapon advantage. However, while both single and dual-katana wielders share the same pool of general sword skills, a Dual-Katana Assassin cannot access gun skills, 2nd Class: Gunslinger skills, nor the single sword Iai skills: Iai Thousand Prunus, Iai Horizontal Slash, and Iai Shadowchaser.

Single-Katana Assassin
A Single-Katana Assassin carries the advantage a Dual-Katana Assassin does not have: AOE attacks. Single sword skills suit one the best when it comes to mob farming. It is also considerably cheaper to use only one sword as well when considering sword prices and need to repair. While single sword users share a similar pool of skills with dual sword users, they do not have access to gun skills, 2nd Class: Gunslinger skills, nor the double sword skills: Triple Rush and Double Slash.

Gun Assassin
Gun Assassin plays both a DPS and a quasi-crowd control role similar to a Gun Mage, only a Gun Assassin specializes in having higher normal ATK(physical attack) power and relies on STR(strength). Despite only being limited to four gun-specific skills: Sniper Shot, Evade Shot, Shadow Shot, and Grapeshot; the long range attacks and an Assassin's overall adaptability compensates for a gunner's lack of need for AGI, all while giving them an extra edge when it comes to fighting bosses. However, most vital gun skills are not attainable until after Lv 44 or becoming a Gunslinger. A Gun Assassin does not have access to any sword skills.
