Assassin — Melee Burst Damage, Execution & Invulnerability

Choose your build first: F2P/new players should choose Attack-Penetration; for Secret Realm rankings, lantern, and maximum damage, choose Attack-Crit. Assassin does high damage and levels quickly, but requires manual control and has a difficult damage environment in Abyss.
A melee class focused on maximum damage, with finishing abilities and brief invincibility; excels in Secret Realm but is unsuitable for full auto-play.

Conseils Pratiques & Pièges à Éviter
Do not dismantle old core Equipment immediately after upgrading; keep at least one old Weapon and pair of Gloves with a Shroudmist or Toxic Mist core.
Bloodlust may move you into danger; replace it with Elimination when survivability is an issue. Do not mix the stats, Gems, or Refinement of Attack-Penetration and Attack-Crit builds; add Penetration against high-Defense bosses.
