Greatkeyblade's Most Comprehensive Thief Lass Guide

Hi peeps!

some of you may know me or some of you dont...well it doesnt matter cause a lot of people says i gotta make a lass guide so they can know how to control it but ok i'll make a short guide and i'll update it with some other stuff so i can complete it feel free to give information so we can complete it togheter! ok so lets start with the basic

Section 1 Basics

 1.1 Who's Lass?

 

Lass’s mind and body was freed from Kaze'aze's possession after the Grand Chase vanquished Kaze'aze's evil from the world. Although he wasn’t in control of his actions, Lass still felt guilty when he realized that his body was used as Kaze'aze's vessel to devastate the continent and kill countless innocents. The members of the Grand Chase understood that Lass was determined to right his wrongs, and allowed him to join them on their journey to restore peace to the continent.

Lass dual wields daggers in combat and confounds enemies with his incredible speed. He attacks with speed, preferring to finish his enemies with one, carefully aimed blow.

1.2 Why Lass?

Lass is a powerful class capable of getting his opponent to Fatal status or delay the enemies so he can grap them once and another and another time! basically he is a Melee character but he only come close to the enemy when he has stopped due to an attack otherwise he wont get closer unless is a tactic....pretty sneaky huh? so if you know how to control him right you have in your hands a powerful character to fight with and a worthly opponent too.

1.3 Lass Basic Movement

 Dash : Forward, Forward

 Run: Dash and hold Forward

 Dash Combo: Repeatedly press Z key during a dash

 Double Jump: jump and then jump again in midair

 Shuriken Throw: hold the Down key during a double jmup and press the Z key

 Multiple Blows: Repeatedly press the Z key

1.3 Lass Skills

Level 1 Skill (Thunder Slash): Press Z to charge 1 MP bar and release


Level 2 Skill (Evil Attack): Press Z to charge 2 MP bar and release


Level 3 Skill (Final Strike): Press Z to charge 3 MP bar and release

Now that we know the basics we can now start with some explanations of the lass combos for pvp

Section 2 Lass How to PvP?

2.1 Main Strike

For Lass you're going to have 2 main combos 1st the air jump attack that is almost the same as arme's jump attack a single blow that if you connect it to a land stand player you will make him flinch that will leave you a great spot for doing one of these things: Grab, Skill, or Combo him (from now on called GSC), the smarter thing to do is grab because you then can make a great delay grab combo explained later on the Guide, if you connect it to a jump opponent you knock him down no matter what, this is good when you have low HP an you want to regain MP without being annoyed so knock him down for some no annoyed MP restore, but remember that some other characters have better reach for their jump attacks, like Swrd Master or Aegis Knight

2nd the Kunai Throw skill this is an awesome skill the can compare toArme's fireball but even if its weaker, its still faster, connects two and leave a great spot for GSC himmaking this a very annoying attack but careful...if you fail connecting it he can run to you and attack you so make this attack on a safe spot or very very close to him.

2.2 Combos that you will like to use

You must be asking...but how can you combo with a character that has no air dash or great jump attack reach? Grip, ahh what would be of Lass without grip huh? it would be a suckish character that dont make great damage; so yes, Grip the first thing you gotta learn is todash as soon as the grip finish this will let you do the grip combos im about to mention.

2.2.1 Double Grip

This is a very known combo used by most characters classes but it is easier on lass cause he doesnt have THE delay after he grips, he grips and run inmediatly so there's something easy for that.

1st you gotta start by trying to grip an enemy into the tip of a platform i.e the Elven Forest Right side platform grip him to the lower level, and really fast Dash towards him while tapping once the down button so you will dash downreach him in the air and do yet another grip, that one is going to hurt for sure, try practicing everyone you can do this in every corner that opponent can fall to lower level

2.2.2 Triple Grip

This one is yet another better version of the Double Grip combo but its even more hard...after performing the double grip combo you gotta go to the place your opponent is going to fall and in the moment he touches the ground try gripping him that would take a while to perform but will do 50% more damage than the Double Grip Combo

2.2.2.1 Triple Grab -Second Way-

Yep there's another way of doing the triple grab but it takes a lot of practice to perform

what you have to do is to grab your opponent to the edge of the cliff and make him fall then right when he falls dash to him without pressing down so you will continue to be on the platform this can only be done if the enemy is not in a great distance from the platform supposed you grabbed him the second timehe will fall down again and ASAP dash to him (Dash pressing down) and you will grab him 3 times without him falling down yet

2.2.3 Quad Grip

Yep its possible to make lass do a 4 much hp taker grip but takes much practice to master, but going for the commands its like this...make the enemy stand at a decent distance from the edge of the platform so when you 1st grab him he will eventually fall, then after thatdash forward and grab him just when he's doing the "falling" motion dont waste any second because it can make you fail, so after the inmediate 2nd grab your enemy will start falling AFTER you grabbed him, if not done correctly ur enemy while start falling while you are grabbing him so its now your chance to go! dash and press down to get him and grab him! that would make a 3rd grab on air and now simply go and do a ground (catching) grab, yeah its a hard one, but when you master it you'll see its power

Combo Video:

Uploading...

 2.2.4 Delay Grab

Yes every Lass combo is based on Grabs but this one sure is easy just follow this steps....grip the enemy anywhere and after you end gripping start charging MP when you finish the grip release the MP bar and try to do the Level 1 skill "Thunder Slash" that will dely the enemy and he cant move inmdiatly withou losing time grip him again (walking you wont get him so dash and grip) and repeat if you have a full 3 MP slots you can do 3 continue grip without doing the hard tripe grip combo above and if you had 3 bars i think that when you use a skill the bar will continue to fill so maybe you can do the 4th one! and get the enemies from grip to grip to their death!

EDIT:i discovered something that you can spawn grab an enemy ^o^ stand by the place he is spawning and b4 he can do anything no matter if he's invinsible thunder slash him he'll delay and the invinsiblity will go away so its the moment to grab him ;3

2.2.5 Triple Hit Combo
This may sound wierd...like Fire Bolt! why only do 3 hits....well its just that if you can aim the 1st hit well you can have a great owning to your enemy :) 
i.e Elven forest right side platform
 the enemy and you are in this position
what you have to do is throw kunai and quickly go down the platform and air attack+grab him you can do all of them because of the kunai flinch
you can vary this combo by doin a lot of things like, kunai+platforming air attack until they die, or kunai+air attack+land combo+skill
its just that if you do the triple hit combo after the grab you can continue to Delay grab him so ;3
2.3 Combo video!
Finally! after much time being lazy...i uploaded the video for the combos :D hope you enjoy!!

ok thats it for the guide! now try yourself and watch the true force of lass....combine different types of grabs for a massive amount of damage!
Good Game, and Good Luck for everyone!
UPDATE!
Break Step and GKB Step!
           credit to JRTSeven for teaching me of it :D
Break Step
some of you may have seen Lass doing some epic steps even tho he cant air dash! thats becase this step is not even close to wht Elesis Sentinel or Assasin steps are. This step is basically, when doing a dash, break it up to another dash to the other side keeping the Impulse of the 1st dash becoming an immoble dash
The commands to perform this Step are the following:
Dash (Hold Dash to the moment it starts running but not too far), and inmediatly dash to the other side.
with this you would be able to stop run and break it to the other side, enabling you to Back Spell

   GKB Step

 When trying Break Step i've seen that if you keep pressed the back button while dashing forward you will get a pretty short dash at a very fast speed, with this you can fastly dash to the other side of the room very fast and cautiously you can even go back fast if danger is ahead and you dont want to go forward anymore i found this step very useful against almost all classes if used right

so the command is the following:

Hold Back Button, Repeatedly dash forward

remember that you gotta be pretty accurate of when to dash because it keeps going back if you dont dash forward!

Nice guide but I'd rather stick to my grab-less Lass. Keep going though, I'm sure it'll help some people.

Should be there, but not the point. Agreed with Luz, should help some people. Easier for many others to win with a fairly large amount of similar tech-users, no? xD


^ Ocean™ ^ Maid Guitars, 'nuff said.

Please use substantiable support when agree/disagreeing. ^^;

 Yeah, my intention was not to criticize your guide. The easiest way to use lass in PVP is with grab, and I'll still grab to finish off someone in Fatal. but for the most part I like to think I can play a decent Lass in PVP without abusing grabs. 

 In any case, once you get the videos in and go more in depth with more then just grabs, it will be a great guide, good luck. \

 

Edit: Are you planning to add a dungeon section? or are you gonna base it off just PVP?
