Assassin

An **assassin** is an agile hero that specializes in killing or disabling roaming targets picking them off as they try to replenish HP. Focused on infiltration, deception, and mobility, **assassins** are opportunistic hunters who find favorable moments within a fight before jumping into the fray. Regardless of the size of the enemy team, **assassins** specializes in positioning and artful killing. They strike when the time is right – no sooner, no later. **Assassins** are more suitable to be played by experienced players as they have low HP and high burst damage. They are ideal for taking out opponents easily, but are easier to be killed due to bad positioning and wrong timing.

Assassins are classified into three types: pure, primary, and secondary.
