The path of the Assassin is a sneaky one, where your mission is to kill the target in one swift attack before disappearing into the shadows. These stealthy killers typically have a lot of patience, waiting for the perfect moment to strike where the target will not see it coming, and there will be no one around to witness the attack. They enjoy the thrill of the hunt, stalking their prey, and learning their habits. Adventurers who follow this class tend to hunt bounties, giving them a sort of permission to do what they do best. Assassins must be masters of deception and strategy, always one step ahead of their target, calculating every move with precision to ensure success in their deadly missions.

Unlike Brawlers who rely on sheer brute strength to accomplish their goals, Assassins employ precision and cunning, leveraging their impressive Stealth and Sneak Attack abilities. Additionally, they harness their Assassin crafting talent to fashion specialized weapons that streamline their tasks and add an element of enjoyment. Preferring small and lightweight armaments for their ease of concealment, Assassins adopt an opportunistic approach, especially in group scenarios, always on the lookout for the perfect moment to execute a devastating sneak attack.

Assassins in the world of Fragment Skies possess a unique ability to turn invisible at any moment, providing them with a strategic edge to secure a favorable position or smoothly exit a risky situation. Their knack for staying unseen is a valuable asset, especially when maneuvering through dangerous encounters, where their limited endurance puts them at a disadvantage. For an Assassin, the key to success lies in avoiding direct confrontation altogether; as Assassin who plans on taking damage has already failed.
