An Assassin is an agile hero that specializes in killing or disabling roaming targets picking them off as they try to replenish HP. Focused on infiltration, deception, and mobility, Assassins are opportunistic hunters who find favorable moments within a fight before jumping into the fray. Regardless of the size of the enemy team, Assassins specialize in positioning and artful killing. They strike when the time is right – no sooner, no later. Assassins are more suitable to be played by experienced players as they have low HP and high burst damage. They are ideal for taking out opponents easily, but are easier to be killed due to bad positioning and wrong timing.
Assassin Types[]
Assassins are classified into three types: pure, primary, and secondary.
Pure[]
Because they have no other role, these heroes are full assassins.
Primary[]
These heroes are mainly assassins who can also be used for a different purpose.
Secondary[]
Because they are used in a different way than a assassin's main purpose, these heroes are half-assassin.
