**Assassin armor** is a craftable post-Moon Lord armor set crafted from Death Essence. It takes a total of 10 Death Essence to craft a single full suit, or 13 Death Essence if you want to craft one of each headpiece. It is currently the best ranged set available.

It consists of a **Assassin's Guard** and **Assassin's Walkers** as well as two different headpieces: the **Master Arbalest Hood** and **Master Marksman's Scouter Set**. Note that only one of the headpieces may be equipped at once but both will trigger a set bonus with the body and legs.

The **Master Arbalest Hood** gives 28 defense, 24% increased arrow damage, turns arrow critical strikes into ricocheting death arrows and causes ranged damage to apply the Ichor debuff to hit enemies for 10 seconds; and the **Master Marksman's Scouter Set** gives 26 defense, 24% increased bullet and rocket damage, scouts the nearest enemy with a crosshair effect that causes them to take 10% more damage from all sources and causes ranged damage to apply the Cursed Inferno debuff to hit enemies for 5 seconds. The **Assassin's Guard** gives 22 defense, 16% increased ranged damage, 20% increased firing speed, 15% increased ranged critical strike chance and 25% decreased chance to consume ammunition; and **Assassin's Walkers** gives 18 defense, 15% increased ranged damage, 10% increased ranged critical strike chance and 25% increased movement speed.

A full set always provides a total of at least 40 defense, 31% increased ranged damage, 25% increased ranged critical strike chance, 20% increased firing speed, 25% decreased chance to consume ammunition and 25% increased movement speed in addition to any stats given by the particular headpiece. When the **Master Arbalest Hood** is worn, its set bonus gives a 10% chance for ranged damage to duplicate itself and deal 15% more damage, as well as displaying a green explosion. If the **Master Marksman's Scouter Set** is worn, its set bonus provides a 5% chance that the hit target is instantly killed, displaying when the effect occurs on an enemy with an "ERADICATED" message instead of the damage output; this effect only works on bosses below 5% maximum life. The set also causes a small pulsating effect around the wearer.
