Assassin build analysis
Assassin is an elite offensive hero. Compared with the other 4 elite offensive heroes in the database, Assassin leans offensive, with base ATK near the top of its class while HP sits lower. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is equipment (Unbridled Fury, 100.0%) and the least settled is pet (Nature's Spite, only 7.5%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Assassin's top talent, Revitalize, is picked 7.9% of the time, which is 16.6 points less settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Revitalize (7.9%) | Flame Guard (5.8%) | no consensus |
| Insignia | Oracle's Favor Insignia (14.4%) | Unholy Pact Insignia (11.1%) | no consensus |
| Square Insignia | Time Steer Insignia (15.3%) | Zero In Insignia (15.3%) | contested |
| Equipment | Unbridled Fury (100.0%) | — | near-universal |
| Pet | Nature's Spite (7.5%) | Drako's Breath (7.1%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
