AION 2 Assassin
Dagger-wielding shadow striker who opens from stealth and bursts enemies down from behind.
The Assassin is AION 2's stealth-based melee DPS class, built around the dagger. It slips out of sight, closes the gap, and chains rapid blade strikes to delete priority targets before they can react. Skills such as Ambush and Shadowstrike set up surprise openers from concealment, Quick Slice and Flash Slice deliver fast follow-up damage, and Evasion Stance keeps it slippery in a fight. Its strength is high single-target burst at close range, traded against fragility and short reach.
Playstyle
A hit-and-run striker: open from stealth with Ambush or Shadowstrike, unload a fast dagger combo of Quick Slice and Flash Slice for back-attack burst, then disengage or weave defensively with Evasion Stance. Being melee-only with a narrow attack arc, it lives and dies by positioning and timing and shines in PvP and on isolated, high-value targets.
