Assassin

The Assassin is a regular titan, appearing in Infinity Blade I. The Assassin uses the Slither, Supreme Shield, and a unique helmet and armor that is not available as equipment to the player. Unlike other Regular Titans, which aside from bosses all use the same voice sounds, the Assassin uses his own unique sounds. 
==Location==
Unlike every other Regular sized enemy in Infinity Blade I, the Assassin can only be randomly encountered at The Courtyard Balcony, and The Bridge. And cannot be found in the Dungeon. He can be played in the new discontinued Multiplayer Mode, after the Iron Golem. 
==Combat==
The Assassin is Light, Regular Sized, fast fighting enemy, who will often use kicks, and shield bashes during combat. The Assassin compared to other Regular Sized titans in Infinity Blade I is rather unique, the Assassin has two Stepbacks exclusive to him, whereas most others only have one. The Assassin is also unique in the fact he can be skipped entirely because as mentioned earlier, he can only appear at The Courtyard Balcony, and The Bridge, so you can take the side entrance through The Prison and never encounter him. 
===Stepbacks===
Double Slash 
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Assassin moves back, then delivers a diagonal slash from the left, and then another diagonal Slash from the right.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, by far the easiest is to simply parry the first left slash by swiping to the left. This will interrupt the Stepback and allow you to do damage. Alternatively, you can also dodge to the left, and then right to avoid the first and second slash respectively, or duck under both provided you are using Dual Weapons. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Assassin can still deal damage if he has elemental attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield or gem.

Twirl Slash
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Assassin spins backwards, then delivers a horizontal slash from the right, and then a downward slash from towards the center.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the easiest and most optimal is to simply parry the first slash be swiping to the right. Attentively you can also block to avoid the first slash and then dodge to the left or right to avoid the second slash. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Assassin can still deal damage if he has elemental attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield or gem.

Double Bash Slash
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Assassin moves backwards before delivering a shield bash from the right, the quickly spinning to deliver another shield bash from the left and finishing with a slash from the right. 
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is to dodge to the right to avoid the first shield bash, and then right before the Assassin can deliver his second shield bash, a stab prompt will appear on his side, hitting it will allow you to interrupt his Stepback and deal extra damage. Alternately you dodge everything by moving to the right to avoid the first shield bash, moving to the left to avoid the second shield bash, and then moving to the right again to avoid the final slash. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Assassin can still deal damage if he has elemental attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield or gem.

==Combat Tips== 
The Assassin can deliver relatively quick attacks and can deal heavy damage. Sense the Assassin only appears in Infinity Blade I, you can only use Light Weapons. The Assassin is also quicker, and has more shield bashes, than other Regular Sized Titans. However, Stepbacks are only really common in the third phase, so if you are struggling to avoid his Stepbacks, it may be advantages to save your super and or magic until the third phase and dump them to quickly/instantly skip his most challenging stage. 
Alternatively, you can avoid him entirely by taking the Well into the Prison at the once you defeat the Titan at the Outer Gate.
