The Dark Assassin is a [[Chaos]] [[Enemies#Chaos_Enemies|Chaos Enemy]] that makes it's first appearance in Chaos 5.
== Description ==
==Strategy==
A good strategy for dealing with Assassins 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. Towers with the ability to stun or knock enemies up, such as the [[Viper's Fangs]] or [[Geyser Trap]], can remove the Assassin. [[Pet_Abilities|Pet abilitiesAbilities]] can be utilized, even while under attack, so it is a good idea to activate it to kill the Assassin. You are not safe from the dark assassin if useing using the [[lavamancerLavamancer]] [[:Submerge/Emerge]]
A common issue players will have with Assassins is their splash damage when they first grab a victim. This splash can damage, or destroy, a core if the hero picked by the Assassin is near one at the time of their attack. It is a good idea to stay away from the main objectives in Chaos V and above.
