Statue of the Assassin

The is one of the  statues found in the game.
When a Skill is used, three penetrating knives in a spread formation will be launched in front of the user, with each knife dealing 4 damage.
The statue ability has a cool down of 1 second.
== Strategies ==
The statue effect works with the following Buffs:
* Shotgun Buff - Adds 2 more projectiles.
* Bounce Buff - Allows them to bounce once.
* Accuracy Buff - Reduces spread.
Paired with Statue of the Berserker, each knife deals 2 more damage.
The cooldown of this statue's ability is very short, so heroes with a short cooldown on at least one skill (such as Rogue, Berserker, Druid, Assassin or Officer) can use them effectively in tandem. This along with the infinite pierce can be useful for breaking crates without a melee weapon. It can also be used as a handy source of damage to help the player finish enemies off.
For characters with a long skill cooldown, it is not very helpful but should not be ignored either.
== Trivia ==
* After an unknown update, the appearance of the knives changed to have a more metallic look.
* As of Update 1.10.0, the daggers are affected by the Bounce Buff.
* At 1 second, this statue has the shortest cooldown in the entire game.
* In Update 2.4.0, the knives could not pierce through enemies or crates.
* The appearance of the statue is a reference to the video game series called Assassin's Creed.
