It's not much of a guide or anything but since people have shared a few info about the class might as well list it down here for everyone else to read.

ASSASSIN

This class seems more suited for PvP than dungeons. Since it has Air Dash. For now, this is mostly dungeon tips.

Dungeon

Move Set

  • Combo. His attack consists of four strikes. The 3rd and 4th strikes knocks enemy into the air.
    • Use full combo. It sets up Aerials for more damage and it seems to do the most damage. You can connect another aerial by timing your Double Attack at the end of the combo (→ →), which is a back flip, then proceed to use combo again.
    • 3 Hit Combo. Thanks to Vpower for this one. Keep repeating 3 hit combos. You will keep catching the enemy once it's thrown in the air.
  • Double Attack. Dashing while comboing will make Lass do a backflip that sends enemy into the air. Timing it right after the 4th Strike will allow for another full combo.
  • Dash Attack. It's slow but it's pretty decent damage and doesn't knock down.
  • Aerial Dash Attack. Swing scimitar twice. The 2nd slash knocks enemies up. You can use this to set up an Aerial.
    • I find myself using this alot. It's great for setting up aerials for team mates since it doesn't knock the enemy too high, but within sword's reach. It's also fast enough for you to maneuver yourself.
Skills
  • Frenzy Sword.  Consists of three slashes, with the 3rd, sending enemies high into the air. It's easily connects with your combo.
  • Splash Explosion. Pretty decent damage and works well against groups. It knocks them away.
  • Deadly Sharp. A deadly attack. It hits everything within a set range.
    • It has a decent range. Here's the range:


Other Tips

If you can Otto, Jovi shared this tip: Face your back towards the enemy then Auto. I find it works but haven't gotten to doing more than 3. I think cornering the mob first then using it is the way to go. EDIT: I just played with an Assassin today and he ottos with it very well. Just go to the mob, face back, then otto away.

I just stumbled across it, not sure if it's really useful, but Assassin can sort of imitate Shadow Step. The Air Dashes can be controlled to go down so you can "sort" of step. Just use Elesis controls (I'm no stepper x_x Just that mashing keys sort of achieve that kind of movement xD).

PvP
I was going to put down some tips but I just lost twice a while ago so...nevermind. Two tips though:

  • Skill Canceling. Frenzy Sword to Splash Explosion works well.
  • Grabs. Air Dashing for grabs.

That's about it for now.

I suggest using his full combo, it has alot of power

also his 3bar can be easily as powerful as the xbows if you get a back attack.

Failing attempt of me Otto'ing :x (Just for proof)

and I usually do a 3 hit combo, because the third hit sends the enemy's up, then I try to juggle the enemy by doing the 3 hit combo over and over again.

And his 2nd and 3rd Skill are powerfull :x. (Lol, One-Attack-KO Elena xD. my friend and I were like:''...o.0'')

Thanks Jovi. :P I actually stumbled upon that "back" otto thing but thought I was just being lucky. I can only do 3 with that though. Guess I have to practice it some more.

The Juggle combo's a bit hard to do but I guess that's the best attack I have there.

I think I'm doing Deadly Sharp wrong. o_o' How do you o'hko Elena with that? x_x Do you attack at point blank or at ranged?

Point Blank is where you are standing RIGHT next to the character, right?

I always miss when I do so ._.

Like, Lass' Deadly Sharp Range, is something like: 10 cm - 50 cm (example, I don't know the real one xD). So you can't do a point blank with Deadly Sharp. (Oh and apparently, it can do 2 hits on an enemy)

and yeah, I know now why people say it's not really a dungeon job. The only good thing (IMO) about it are the strong (2) skills. I'll be using Lass' Thief again when the double exp/gp is over :x. (Actually, I'm playing on Arme for Warlock xD)

I personally feel deadly sharp is strongest about mid-range

SeleneRose:

-always called it Deadly Shot, just sounds better imo-

 I noticed mid-range seems to give the most damage, as well; If I'm too close to enemies, I might miss or just get hit before the attack works properly[For some reason, Assassin's skills seem to have a bit of delay before the invincibility frames], and if I'm too far away, the second part of Deadly may miss.

 

I knocked level 3 Kamiki's hp to half on Deadly Shot back attack, I was happy.
