There are five main classes in Lost Ark: warrior, martial artist, gunner, mage, and assassin. But all of them have from two to five sub-classes. Each sub-class has specified abilities that define a playstyle that fits this sub-class of the Lost Ark class. To pick a class you need to find out more about it and its subclasses to choose the best Lost Ark to build. You will find the Lost Ark Assassin class description from the official website in this post.
Previously we wrote the list of all Lost Ark classes and sub-classes that you can check via the list. And here you will see the Assassin description with all sub-classes and abilities.
These mysterious melee-makers fight demonic with demonic, channelling the dark powers in the name of the light in quick, colourful attacks.
There are two options to play an Assassin in Lost Ark: Shadowhunter, and Deathblade. Both of them are designed for melee combat.
Lost Ark Shadowhunter
Shadowhunters prefer to beat the demons at their own game—they can shapeshift into powerful demonic forms to unleash chaotic power. When their inner demon is unleashed, shadowhunters get access to incredibly destructive powers and increased health and movement speed.
Shadowhunter Abilities List
There are five abilities that you can see below.
Demon Vision
Focus demonic energy and shoot a ray of death forward to inflict damage and knock foes away. Charge to channel longer before knocking foes away for more damage.
Sharpened Cut
Pierce through foes in front of you as you spin, inflicting damage.
Fallen Ruin
Soar into the air and shoot an energy ray straight into the ground to inflict damage. The laser causes an explosion moments later, knocking foes away for more damage. This skill can only be used while in Demonize mode.
Demonic Clone
Call forth an incarnation of the devil to attack by your side. Move forward and punch 2 times for damage, then strike the ground with a final damaging blow.
Spinning Weapon
Launch the weapon on your left arm forward and make it spin to inflict damage. Press the skill key again to launch the weapon on your right arm to inflict periodic damage.
Lost Ark Deathblade
Deathblade is an assassin class that uses a total of three swords that they wield alongside the power of chaos to swiftly slash their foes. The fast-paced combo attacks from the light dualswords and longsword overpower enemies, leading to death by a thousand cuts.
Deathblade Abilities List
There are five abilities that you can see below.
Flash Blink
Dash toward the cursor direction, slashing through foes with all your swords. Foes in the path receive damage at the moment of impact, then get launched in the air moments later for more damage. This skill allows you to pierce through enemy guardians as well.
Spincutter
Spin and move toward the cursor direction, inflicting damage. This skill can be used up to 2 times in a row.
Soul Absorber
Charge to deliver a powerful thrust, inflicting increasing amounts of damage the longer it charges.
Blitz Rush
Charge forward and when the charge is over, advance and attack. When attacking, inflict damage with your dualsword, and when overcharged, inflict more damage and knock foes away while inflicting further damage with your longsword.
Moonlight Sonic
Perform a sweeping slash in front of you to pull foes close and inflict damage.
