This variant of Assassins found only in [[Incursions#Altar_of_the_Athame|Altar of the Athame]] Incursions visually resembles a regular Dark Assassin, only bigger in size. The main difference comes in behavior - unlike those Chaos V enemies where they teleport to attack players, Altar Assassins will just slowly float toward their target (towers or heroes) without any tricks.
HoweverAside from differences in behavior, their main gimmick is quite tied to how the Incursion works where Altar Assassins are invulnerable to any forms of damage - in this state, these Assassins are entired entirely covered in a purple color to visually indicate their invulnerability. This immunity can only be removed by completing the Incursion's Dark Ritual has been completed and deafeating all of them will end a wave. The Altar Assassins can also be stunned by activating Assassin's Bells found within Crumbled Bulwark.
