Ability & Special Effects

ABILITY — ASSASSIN: Toxic Slash His Direct Damage injects Toxins into his target, reducing its Attack Power by 5% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times.

How to Use Assassin Dude

Assassin Dude's Toxic Slash reduces his target's Attack Power by 5% per stack (up to 3, lasting 5s) — a 15% enemy damage debuff. He is the anti-carry: the longer a fight goes, the harder his target hits. Pair him with tanks that extend fights (Knight Dude, Pirate Dude) to stack Toxins to max. B-tier: reliable, single-target utility damage.

Best Builds & Synergies

A situational B-tier Dude — Assassin Dude shines when paired with other Action Family Dudes (Family Relics share a pool, making your key Relics easier to find — see our Resource Management guide) and built around his strengths above.
