Re: Assassin strategies?

Assasin spells are best. Like Manifestation and Earth attack.
But sending like 5 or 6 regular assasins to the research center is damaging. You can snatch a couple of clams too. and then move them around.

Re: Assassin strategies?

One not exactly obvious strategy is using assasins when you are besieged in castle, to take out sieging commanders. Much safer to assasins in questions, as they can't be found by patrolling army.

No I just wasn't sure which mage assassins people would actually recruit and have hanging around doing research until they're needed.

Well, Empoisoner is a decent mage and researcher and I tend to recruit them only from some point. And later they may be very useful.

And also a perfect Tlahuelpuchi of Mictlan. 2B1N1D and flight for 25 slaves.

This is actually my very favorite one. Use swarms of them for blood hunting, and with leech you even have a good chance of succeeding despite most bodyguards.

Theres an A2 assasin for Tir Na Nog if I recall correctly. Very nice for throwing lightning bolts - or a thunderstrike if you feel like spending a gem to handle those bodyguards.

I actually find she's just as good casting Mistform and charging into melee. With a Life Drain weapon and natural Mirror Image, she's pretty solid even with no/minimal gear, and does much better against bodyguards that way than by casting spells.
