Description

Jordan-kerbow-flyingassassin2.jpg

The Assassin makes its first appearance in Chaos 5. It is a heavy damage dealer that renders the player unable to attack on initial engagement. Indicators that they are about to attack are a purple glowing swirl surrounding the neck and head of its victim. The Assassin will leave the hero unable to attack but able to move while it deals heavy damage to them. This last for about 5 seconds before the Assassin will let go. At this point is the opening for the hero to attack the assassin and try to kill it before it flies off and does its initial attack all over again.

A good strategy to kill the Assassin is standing in auras or in front of heavy hitting towers so that for the duration you are unable to attack, your towers/auras can.
A common issue players will have with Assassins is their splash damage when they first grab a victim. This splash will one shot a core if the hero picked by the Assassin is near one at the time of their attack.
