Here we see the Crimson Assassin on the character selection screen. You may be thinking "Her appearance is quite similar to the Cat Acrobat."
While that may be true, there is one major difference... the Crimson Assassin strikes their enemy down by using ninja-like skills. She’s as agile as cat, but as deadly as an assassin.
Don't let her innocent looks fool you, she's got a very particular set of skills, skills she acquired through years of training.
Crimson Assassin's Skill Set
Shuriken Backlash - Summon a gigantic shuriken to strike the enemy. The sheer force of the shuriken will throw enemies high into the air.
Silent Slaughter - Creep in the shadows and launch a deadly move with lightning speed. Land critical attacks on the enemy. Can break through Super Armor. Excludes episode bosses
EX Feral Strike - Transform a giant shuriken into a wolf's claw and unleash a powerful attack from behind the enemy. This skill uses the EX Gauge which fills up as enemies are attacked.
Meditation - Use extreme concentration to momentarily increase Critical Rate. As the skill level rises, the effectiveness and duration increases as well.
Lumber Blast - Drop a bomb in the form of a log and rapidly retreat. Hit enemies will be stunned temporarily. As the skill level rises, the duration of the stun lengthens as well.
Deadly Ascension - Slash upward to fling surrounding enemies high into the air. Fallen enemies are no exception.
Triple Blitz - Barrel towards enemies with quick, consecutive attacks and finish the move with a powerful blow from behind.
Shadow Assault - Summon shadows to launch a surprise attack on the targeted area. Hit enemies will be stunned temporarily. As the skill level rises, the duration of the stun lengthens as well.
Shuriken Vortex - Throw a giant shuriken at the enemies. Pull in surrounding monsters inward toward the shuriken.
We were lucky enough to get some pictures of this deadly, deadly Crimson Assassin in action!
Look at that giant shuriken!
Pretty sure she hit them so fast they turned into force energy and helped Luke destroy the Deathstar!
It looks like the her pet is dancing in the background with the enemy. Look at the insane amount of chaos you see in the screenshot? Because she obliterated everything! Ahhh!
She seems harmless, right?
Nonchalantly throwing her shuriken when there's dragons around...
Still to come... A patch preview for the new Guild and Meteorite system!
