About Assassins

Assassins are the only class able to equip a weapon in each hand and the exclusive users of Katar weapons. Assassins have a variety of damage dealing and poisoning skills. The Assassin are the only class who can walk slightly faster than any other class ingame with the Thief's Skill, Improve Dodge. The Katar wielding Assassins also receive double the normal amount of critical hit rate. Therefore, whatever amount of critical rate Assassins have, it would always be doubled when using Katar type weapons.

Jobchange Guide

Changing into an Assassin from a Thief requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

• Katar[2] Optimal DA Katar with mid-range STR, and good Crit Katar option in later episodes.
• Jur[3] Currently best Crit Katar option until later episodes.

Daggers

• Damascus Vendor version is a common early Dagger Assassin weapon, and crafted Elemental version is the best element option.
• Gladius[3] Strongest Main Hand dagger when endowed with cards. Most efficient if compounded with size cards.
• Main Gauche[4] Strongest Off Hand dagger. Most efficient when compounded with 4x Racial% cards or 4x Element% cards. 2xRace & 2xElement is the highest damage, but will quickly get extremely expensive.

• Hot-blooded Headband Quest crafted headgear with 2 STR, without a slot. Good if you do not need a card/combo.
• Ghost Bandana Mini-boss drop with 2 AGI.
