Publisher Shanda Games International Europe updates the free to play action MMORPG Dragon Nest Europe with the brand-new Assassin class. The Assassin utilizes daggers, arm blades, chains and summons to attack his enemies from the shadows and send them to the after-life.
Extreme Combat Versatility
The Assassin can choose between two specializations when he reaches level 15 (Chaser or Bringer), which also offer another two sub-specializations each (Ripper/Raven or Light Fury/Abyss Walker) once Assassin players reach level 45. While the Chaser tree focuses more on hand-to-hand combat, the Bringer tree focuses on buffing and supporting group members with chakra energy.
Chaser (level 15+)
Melee Fighter
Primary Weapon: Scimitar
* Raven (level 45+)
Relies heavily on chains, daggers & dark elemental skills.
* Ripper (level 45+)
Relies on martial arts attacks & fire elemental skills.
Bringer (level 15+)
Melee/Mid-Range Fighter
Primary Weapon: Dagger
* Light Fury (level 45+)
Utilizes chakra energy for attacks and group buffs
* Abyss Walker (level 45+)
Wields dark elemental attacks & provides a dark elemental group buff
The Assassin is a highly versatile melee fighter whose style is distinguished by a fast-paced combo mixture of Asian martial arts and spirit summons. While he can easily hide himself from enemies using smoke and shadows and retreat to a more passive survival, he is equally swift in striking down opponents with deadly blade, chain and martial arts combos. However, he does not purely rely on quick attack and retreat techniques but also offers valuable healing spells as well as defense and attack buffs for his group members by activating his chakra energy. One of the recently released trailers provides an insight into the Assassin’s Asian martial arts combos.
Lost in another time
Contrary to all the other classes, the Assassin is not (yet) involved in Dragon Nest’s main story. Witnessing a fight between a strange warrior and a beautiful lady, he was torn from his own time and ended up in the world of Althea. Even though the strange warrior disappeared, he seems to have gotten into the Assassin’s head and is now twisting his mind with dark prophecies about the Assassin’s future. His mission in this world is to find the girl who brought him to Althea and to find out if the sinister warrior really is his future self or if his destiny can still be changed.
