The Assassin (H) is part of an evolution line that goes like this: Assassin (H) (Starter) → Assassin (H) (1st Class) → Assassin (H) (2nd Class). Each step makes you stronger and unlocks new abilities.
Strengths
- Top-tier dexterity (DEX 38, the maximum for the category): this means a higher chance to crit and to land your hits. In practice, you miss less and land heavy blows often.
- Very high strength (STR 41): STR is what fuels your physical damage. You hit hard with every strike, which makes clearing monsters much faster.
- Decent toughness (CON 38): even though you are a fragile fighter, your sturdiness is above the category average, so you can take a bit more before needing to back off.
- High run speed (132): running fast helps you reach enemies, escape danger, and reposition in seconds. It is a huge everyday advantage.
- Attacks very fast: with the right stance, your attack speed shoots up. More swings per second means more damage and more crits.
Weaknesses
- Low health (HP among the lowest): your health bar is fragile compared to other classes. Tip: avoid getting surrounded and use your HP recovery skills between fights.
- Weak magic power (INT 15, very low): your magic attacks barely hurt. Tip: ignore offensive magic and focus 100% on physical damage, which is your strength.
- Depends on getting close: being melee, you need to stick to the enemy, which exposes you. Tip: use your speed to pick who to attack and flee when things get tight.
- Fragile against many enemies at once: several monsters together drop you fast. Tip: pull a few at a time or play in a party to share the pressure.
Skills that define the class
- Strike — your basic physical hit with direct damage. It is the attack you use most to open and finish a fight.
- Shadow Attack — a physical strike stronger than usual, great for tearing a big chunk off the enemy's health at once.
- Haste — a buff that increases your attack speed. Turn it on before farming: more swings per second is more damage.
- Wind Walk — a buff that increases your movement speed. Perfect for reaching monsters and moving across the map faster.
- Berserker Spirit — an aggressive buff that raises your combat power in exchange for a little defense. Use it when you want to drop enemies faster.
- Wild Magic — increases the critical chance of your hits. It pairs perfectly with your high DEX for devastating strikes.
- HP Recovery (Восстановление HP) — a heal over time that gives your health back little by little. Turn it on between fights to stay whole without stopping play.
- MP Recovery (Восстановление МP) — recovers mana over time, so you can keep your buffs and skills always ready.
- Magic Barrier — a buff that increases your magic defense. Useful against magic-using enemies and helps you survive longer.
Attributes: what to prioritize
The Assassin (H) is a physical damage machine, so everything revolves around hitting hard, hitting fast, and landing crits. You will almost never want to invest in magic power.
- STR (Strength): your number-one priority — it directly raises the physical damage of every hit.
- DEX (Dexterity): your second priority — it improves crit chance and the accuracy of your attacks.
- CON (Constitution): a welcome help — it gives more HP and keeps you alive longer.
- INT/WIT/MEN (magic attributes): set them aside — you do not rely on magic to deal damage.
Recommended gear
Your natural weapon is the dagger (or light blades), perfect for fast strikes and crits. For armor, use light armor: it gives speed and agility without slowing you down, matching the class's fast style.
Early on, prioritize upgrading your weapon — the damage comes from it. Next, raise your armor to survive better, and finally add accessories that reinforce physical damage, crit, and speed.
Step by step for beginners
- Create the character: choose the Assassin race and start as Assassin (H). Do not worry about getting everything right at first — you can learn as you play.
- Do the first quests of the starting area: they teach the basics, give XP, starter gear, and a quick push through the early levels.
- Turn on auto-hunt: with it active, your character farms by itself in zones at your level, attacking monsters automatically. It is the handiest way to level up while you sort out the rest.
- Follow the base → 1st → 2nd → 3rd professions: when you hit certain levels you change class. Each change unlocks new skills and makes you visibly stronger — do not skip these changes.
- Prioritize the right stances and skills: keep Haste and Wind Walk on to attack and run faster, and add Wild Magic and Berserker Spirit when you want maximum damage.
- Gather Adena and L-Coin: by selling drops and completing missions you build up coins to buy potions, upgrade gear, and unlock advantages.
- Keep your weapon and armor up to date: whenever possible, swap to better gear of your level. Old gear is the number-one cause of slow farming.
- Use your HP and MP recovery between fights: that keeps you ready without having to stop all the time.
Where to farm
- Auto-hunt on monsters at your level: it is the foundation of growth — leave your character farming in suitable zones and earn XP steadily.
- Move up to harder zones as you grow: stronger monsters give more XP and better rewards. Advance as soon as you can handle them.
- Join a party for raids and bosses: bosses give valuable rewards and are far safer (and more fun) in a group.
- Use the Season Pass and daily missions: they are steady sources of XP, items, and coins with little effort.
Common beginner mistakes
- Pulling too many monsters at once: with low health, the Assassin (H) falls fast when surrounded. Take it slow.
- Investing in magic: your magic power is extremely low; spending points or items on it is a waste. Focus on physical damage.
- Forgetting to turn on stances/buffs: without Haste and Wind Walk you farm much slower. Always activate them before hunting.
- Letting your gear go stale: outdated weapon and armor stall all your progress.
It's for you if…
- You like speed and aggression: running, hitting hard, and repositioning is the heart of this class.
- You enjoy seeing big crit numbers: the Assassin (H) lives off landing heavy hits often.
- You prefer hunting fast over tanking hits: it is a damage class, not a punching bag — perfect for clearing monsters quickly.
