Overview
The Oriental Assassin is not a separate character but a hidden side of the Archer. For years these agents have lived as ordinary archers among the people while hunting the empire's most wanted. Once an Archer equips a Throwing Knife, it can become an Assassin and strike quickly and quietly from range, often before the target knows what happened.
An Archer can take on this form after being promoted at level 40. The switch is made with the Path of Shadow skill, which needs at least one Throwing Knife equipped. In Assassin form you can use every Throwing Knife skill but none of the skills that need a bow; use Path of Shadow again to go back.
XP skill: Blade Flurry
For 45 seconds the Assassin moves faster and throws spinning blades in every direction, dealing 300% damage to all nearby monsters and 150% to players.
