In short: The Assassin (DE) is a fast melee fighter, built to hit hard and slip away. It's the perfect pick for anyone who loves quick damage, mobility and direct action in combat.

Picture a hunter of the shadows: he doesn't wear heavy armor or stand still trading blows in the middle of a fight. Instead, he moves fast, circles his enemy and lands sharp strikes one after another. That's the soul of the Assassin (DE).

Playing this class is an agile, edgy experience. The character feels light, with plenty of dexterity, always chasing the critical (that strike which deals bonus damage). It's fun and straightforward — great for beginners who want to see big numbers pop up right away.

The Assassin (DE) is part of a simple, direct progression line: Assassin (DE) (Starter) → Assassin (DE) (1st Class). You start by learning the basics of combat and gain strength and new abilities as you level up.

Strengths

Extremely high dexterity (the best in its category): with DEX 38, he sits at the very top among similar classes. In practice, that means more chance to crit and to hit your enemy — you miss fewer strikes and deal damage spikes often.
Strong physical power: with STR 41 (almost the maximum in the comparison), your melee blows already land heavy. Combined with the dexterity, each critical hit truly hurts the monster.
Above-average toughness: CON 38 gives decent resilience for an agile fighter. You can take a bit more punishment before needing to back off, which helps a lot when farming solo.
Good movement speed: classes like this move fast across the map. That makes it easier to go monster to monster, escape danger and reach the action quickly.
Focus on direct damage: the kit is simple and aggressive. You don't need to memorize dozens of spells — just hit, keep your buffs up and keep farming.

Weaknesses

Low health: with around 2635 HP at level 85, he has the lowest life in the category. Tip: never face large groups of enemies at once and always keep HP potions in your hotbar.
Low mana: with around 975 MP, the blue bar drains fast if you spam skills. Tip: lean on basic attacks and save the more expensive skills for the right moments, and use MP recovery.
Very weak magic power: with INT 15, he deals almost no magic damage. Tip: don't even try to use this class as a mage — pour everything into physical attack and critical.
Fragile under pressure: being light with little health, he suffers if surrounded. Tip: play mobile, attack and reposition instead of standing still and taking hits.

Skills that define the class

Strike — your main physical blow, a strong direct-damage attack. Use it as your basic tool to open and close fights against monsters.
Haste — a buff that speeds up your attacks. Keep it on at all times: attacking faster means more crits and more damage per second.
Wind Walk — a buff that increases your movement speed. Great for farming faster, escaping danger and running between zones.
Berserker Spirit — an aggressive buff that trades a bit of defense for more offensive power. Use it when you want to drop enemies faster and feel confident in the situation.
Wild Magic — a buff that raises magic critical chance. Useful to reinforce the power of your special strikes where it applies.
Magic Barrier — a buff that increases your magic defense. Turn it on before facing enemies or bosses that use magic, so you take less damage.
HP Recovery (Восстановление HP) — a heal over time, returning life little by little. Great for staying on your feet during farming without burning so many potions.
MP Recovery (Восстановление МP) — returns mana over time. Helps you sustain your skills longer during auto-hunt.
Acumen — a buff that reduces casting time. It makes your abilities come out faster, keeping the rhythm of combat.

Attributes: what to prioritize

The Assassin (DE) is a critical fighter, so anything that boosts physical damage and hit chance is a priority. You want to hit a lot, hit fast and not miss.

DEX (Dexterity): the most important attribute. Boosts critical and accuracy — the heart of your damage.
STR (Strength): second on the list. Increases the raw physical damage of every blow.
CON (Constitution): helps survivability and health, important because he's fragile.
Avoid INT/WIT/MEN: this class barely uses magic, so investing in these attributes is a waste.

Recommended gear

Since the Assassin (DE) is a fast fighter, he pairs with blade/fist weapons and light armor, which doesn't slow down his mobility. The idea is to stay quick and deadly, not heavy and slow.

Early on, prioritize upgrading your weapon — it's what raises your damage the most. Next, take care of light armor to gain some defense without losing speed. Whenever possible, swap gear for a better version as you level up.

Beginner step by step

Create the character: choose the Assassin race and the Assassin (DE) class. Don't worry about complicated decisions now — the progression path is simple.
Do the first quests of the starting area: they teach the basics, give experience, starting gear and a push toward your first levels.
Turn on auto-hunt: it's the feature that makes your character farm on its own in zones at your level, attacking monsters automatically. Perfect for leveling while you follow along.
Follow the base → 1st → 2nd → 3rd professions: each class change gives you more HP, more damage and new skills. Make the transition as soon as it's available to get stronger.
Prioritize the right skills and buffs: keep Haste and Wind Walk always active, and use HP and MP recovery to farm longer without stopping.
Get Adena and L-Coin: Adena is the game's money, used to buy potions and upgrades; L-Coin is a special currency for valuable items. Gather both by farming and completing missions.
Keep weapon and armor updated: whenever survival gets hard or your damage feels weak, it's a sign that it's time to improve your gear.
Watch and adjust: keep an eye on your HP and MP bars during auto-hunt and change the farming zone if you're dying too much or killing too slowly.

Where to farm

Auto-hunt on monsters at your level: start in zones where enemies match your level, to gain experience safely and quickly.
Move up to harder zones as you grow: as you gain levels and better gear, switch to areas with stronger monsters and better rewards.
Form a party for raids and bosses: bosses are worth a lot, but they're dangerous. Playing in a group makes everything safer and more profitable.
Use the Season Pass and daily missions: these tasks give extra rewards every day and speed up your progression a great deal.

Common beginner mistakes

Facing large groups of enemies: with little health, the Assassin (DE) dies easily when surrounded. Pull only a few monsters at a time.
Burning mana with no control: spamming skills empties the blue bar fast. Mix in basic attacks and save skills for the right moments.
Forgetting the buffs: playing without Haste and Wind Walk hurts your performance a lot. Always turn them on before farming.
Leaving gear outdated: sticking with a weak weapon stalls your progress. Update weapon and armor frequently.

It's for you if…

You like fast, aggressive combat: the style is hit a lot and hit early, no dawdling.
You enjoy critical and explosive damage: seeing strong blows land one after another is the joy of the class.
You want a class that's simple to learn: the kit is direct, ideal for those starting out on the server.
