Learning Demand High
Evidence Status Global evidence updating; exact rankings pending

Beginner Note Harder first pick because timing and positioning matter.
Who Should Play This Class Choose Assassin if you enjoy target selection, positional play and short commitment windows where timing matters most.
Likely strengths Focused melee burst identity; rewards planning, movement and recognizing exposed targets.
Tradeoffs to accept Punishing when an engage is mistimed; vulnerable to control and forced downtime.
How To Play It Dungeon / group
PvE Maintain positional access, prepare resources before burst and avoid losing a full sequence to mechanics.
Matchup framework
PvP Find an exposed target, force a defensive response and leave before counter-control arrives.
Progression
Solo Control pull size and prioritize clean kills; mobility is part of survival, not only damage uptime.
Core decision loop Prepare resources → approach safely → apply setup/control → commit burst → disengage or reset.
First Session Checklist Learn the range and movement needed for the class job: Burst DPS / pick pressure. Identify one pressure sequence, one defensive response and one escape or reposition option. Test the loop on ordinary enemies before judging dungeon or PvP performance. Open the Assassin build and choose the correct activity variation. Record Global patch and tested activity before treating performance as evidence. Evidence And Open Questions Verified scope: class identity and role framing. Exact power ranking remains unranked until repeatable Global evidence exists.
Burst windows, stealth value, PvP counterplay. Exact skill names, values, cooldowns, costs and animation locks. Validate accuracy and positional or critical interactions before chasing burst stats; compare peak damage with consistency. Separate results for solo, 5-player, 10-player, 1v1, small-scale and large-scale play.
