DPS Assassin

   - For this Assassin build, your focus is to deal high DPS and Burst damages to enemies using Combo Points. Note that you need to balance Energy Gain and Skill Usage to maintain high DPS, refer to the Talents and Skill Builds for more info.

Stats Build:

   - Refer here when upgrading other stat sources like Gems, Runes, Pets, Adventurer Abilities, Tech Tree, Enhancements, Outfits and more.

 Stats to Focus On:

   - ATK = To increase base damage (also depends on your upgrades from other sources).

   - CRIT = To increase crit rate and damages.

   - CRIT Trauma = To increase critical damage.
   - Energy Reduction = To reduce Energy requirement of skills (Just cap it until 25% to spam Rend every 2 attacks, and quickly recharge Bone Piercer every 3 attacks or 1.5sec. Refer to the Skills section for more info.

   - Penetrate = Nice stat to increase damage against high DEF enemies.
   - DODGE and BLOCK = To help increase survivability. Not really good for early game, but gets better as you level up higher. Really helpful to lessen damages while attacking in melee range.
   - HIT and Accuracy = Additional stats mainly for PVP. HIT to decrease DODGE rate, and Accuracy to decrease BLOCK rate.
   - Resilience and CRIT Defense = Resilience to decrease CRIT rate, and CRIT Defense to reduce CRIT Trauma of incoming attacks.

Other Info:

   - LIFE, PHY.DEF, and MAG.DEF = Depends on your upgrades from other sources.
   - HASTE = Haste Talent will not be used so increasing this one is going be hard, bonus return isn't great either. Better focus on Energy Reduction to spam more skills for faster Combo Points.
   - Note: Stats not included above are also ok, if you think it's best for your character, just take note that too much diversification would also result some stats to fall short.
   - PVP would also depend on the meta game, so adjust some of your stats if needed especially for late game.

DPS Assassin Stats Build

  - To help you find and get specific stats from Magic Cores for your gears, refer to the recommended stats per gear below. Note that not all stats are available in every gear (design for game balancing). Even lower grade Magic Cores will sometimes generate orange stats, so farm, synthesize or buy them too.

   - Refine and replace existing random attributes with higher ones as you go.

   - PVE Build = Better for early to mid game, and since PVP stats are useless at this point because of the unfair PVP matching, and lower defense type stats. Focus your Gems for late game PVP builds though.
   - PVP Build = Better once you are able to reach higher levels, and start to get some PVP wins (mid to late game). Defense type stats are also high at this point.

Weapon

   - Focus on: CRIT, CRIT Trauma, and Energy Reduction
   - 4th Stat (PVE): HASTE or Penetrate
   - 4th Stat (PVP): HIT or Accuracy (If both are not needed, get Penetrate)

   - Just cap Energy Reduction to 25% to get other stats. Replace some Energy Reduction stats with any PVP Stat if it's way above 25%.

Jewelries (Ring, ACC, and Necklace)

   - Focus on: ATK and CRIT
   - 3rd and 4th Stat (PVE): HASTE and Penetrate
   - 3rd and 4th Stat (PVP): HIT and Resilience

Garb

   - Focus on: DODGE, CRIT, and Energy Reduction
   - 4th Stat (PVE): HASTE or Penetrate
   - 4th Stat (PVP): CRIT Defense

   - Just cap Energy Reduction to 25% to get other stats. Replace some Energy Reduction stats with Accuracy if it's way above 25%.

Accessories (Waist, Shoes and Gloves)

   - Focus on: DODGE, Energy Reduction, and BLOCK
   - 4th Stat (PVE): HP Recovery, PHY.DEF or MAG.DEF
   - 4th Stat (PVP): Accuracy

Quick Stats Summary Lvl 50+

   - With the Stats above and Talents below (plus other basic light upgrades), you should have the following stats (minimum targets) around Lvl 50+, increase them as you go higher and unlock new tier of Magic Cores or Enhancements.

   - CRIT = 25%+ (increase as high as possible, without CRIT +10% Talent. One way is to buy Starstones from the Store with Crystals. Get free Crystals by completing your Daily Activity Level in the Event Center)
   - CRIT Trauma = 160%+
   - Energy Reduction = Just cap to 25% at higher levels. Also try to get from other sources like Pet Skills.
   - DODGE = 15%+

   - TIP: Once you are able to get all the stats you need in some of the gears above, you can now start selling unverified Magic Cores in the Store > Trading to get Gold!

Assassin Skill Build

Ideal Battle Style: Semi Auto

   - As much as possible, avoid tanking and taking damages, go to the sides or back of the Boss to avoid direct attacks for example. Manually dodge strong AoE attacks, learn their attack patterns.

   - NOTE: Set the correct auto cast trigger conditions to help you spam skills! Please note that in-order for this build to work, you must follow the recommended parameters below.

Dancing Blade

   - Assassin's normal attacks have decent DPS, mainly used to regain Energy to spam Rend and Bone Piercer, do extra damages, and to obtain Combo Points.

Assassin Skills Set-up:

   - Rend = Auto-cast (Energy is higher than 32% or Lower)
   - Decent DPS skill and your main source of Combo Points.
   - Follow Auto-cast setup above to spam Rend when Energy is equal or higher than 330 (Bone Piercer 200 + Rend 130). This setup will always keep enough Energy for your Bone Piercer.

   - How To Adjust (according to your current Energy Reduction):
   - Add Rend's and Bone Piercer's current Energy requirements, then divide by 10, -1 = Rend's Auto-cast setting.

   - By default, with Gear Up and Vigor talents, you should be able to spam Rend every after 2 normal attacks (+Vigor's 30 Energy per sec) and do 4 quick attacks to regain Energy for the next Bone Piercer. With 25% Energy Reduction, your attacks alone should be enough (3 attacks or 1.5sec to regain Energy for the next Bone Piercer), and to let Vigor Talent run as a passive bonus for more chance to spam Rend skills.

   - Bone Piercer = Auto-cast (Combo Point exceeds 5)
   - This is your main DPS and burst skill, best used once Combo Points are maxed (5) because this consumes Energy per cast.
   - Each Combo Points increases damage by 25% (30% if Sharp Blade talent is learned).

   - Blind Escape = Manual for timing (or Auto-cast if you like)
   - Low DPS skill, Target's HIT rate -20% for 3 seconds.
   - Moves your assassin backward, lowering DPS potential, unless used as an escape mechanism. Best paired with Shadow Flash skill to go back quickly to your target.
   - Recommendation: Better replace this skill with Skill Book skills.

   - Shadow Flash = Manual for timing (or Auto-cast if you like)
   - Low DPS but still a nice skill to close distances, also increases your DODGE by 20% for 3 seconds (6 seconds total if 2nd charge is used after 3 sec).
   - Recommendation: Get this skill to get some quick Combo Points (learn Track talent), use right after using Bone Piercer.

   - Fatal Strike = Manual for timing
   - Low DPS, long CD. This skill also consumes Combo Points, so it will disrupt your DPS.
   - Recommendation: Optional for PVP (replace Blind Escape, use right after Bone Piercer) if you don't have Salve Skill Book yet.
   - Also good if you are still weak for PVP, stun enemies to help your teammates. At 5 Combo Points you can daze targets (except Bosses) up to 4.5sec!

DPS Assassin Talents Build

Talents To Get:

   - Please note that these are just suggestions, you are free to mix and match according to your play-style or preference (including PVP). Just remember that you need to balance your Energy gain and Skill usage to maintain high DPS.
   - Test them by entering Team Instances and Bosses that you can solo for example.

   - Lvl 30: Gear Up = To reduce Rend's energy requirement from 180 to 130.

   - Lvl 35: Sharp Blade = Combo Points damage bonus will increase from 25% to 30%.

   - Lvl 40: Vigor = Must have talent to avoid losing any Combo Points! (Note that without this Talent, you will lose all Combo Points if not increased after 20sec). This will also give you 1 Combo Point every 10sec and 30 Energy per sec!

   - Lvl 45: Track = Nice Talent to gain more Combo Points! Best used after using Bone Piercer.

   - Lvl 50: Raid = Gives your Bone Piercer some bonus damage if Raid Effect is active (lasts 10 seconds after using Bone Piercer).
   - Lvl 50: Salve Master = Alternative Talent to get once you are able to get a Salve (Skill Book).

Skill Books

Salve and Heart of Assassins

   - 2 optional skills that can be learned after obtaining their Skill Books, tap "Source" in-game to check how to get them. Experiment together with your existing skills, and use if you like.
   - TIP: Save your Gold to buy these items from the Store > Trading if you can't get them from drops.

Salve

   - Excellent Skill Book for Assassins!
   - Learn Salve Master talent and replace Blind Escape/Fatal Strike Skill with this one.

Heart of Assassins

   - This is a nice skill if done right, but it's potential is only limited if your Assassin is dying...

Other Info

   - Please note that these are just suggestions, you are free to mix and match according to your play-style or preference (including PVP). Just remember that you need to balance your Energy gain and Skill usage to maintain high DPS.

   - NOTE: Due to the current PVP matching system, it's better to wait until your Lvl is high enough to get better chances of winning, but at least do some PVP tasks to get rewards.
