I think one very cost-effective assasin would be Caelian scout with Bottle of Living Water and either a bow or a spell-enabling item. He will keep shooting/ incinerating/ animating dead, and the elemental goes to drown the unfortunate victim... Not quite Earth Attack, but close.

Black hearts are pricy ;/ No non-standard assassin is going to be 'cheap' per say.

Hmm, they might be more expensive in Dom-2 environment. In fact, I never tested those assasins. They couldn't reanimate skeletons during an assasination attempt, because you would need corpses and because he already has the black heart and the bottled elemental.

Anyway, I always thought Black Heart was quite cheap; 10 blood slaves are, in general, more commonly available than 10 gems of any other type. 'Normal' assasins are the only cheap ones, yes, but any scout killing an Arch Theurg, any commander empowered or even a rainbow pretender is *very* cost-effective.
