THE JOB
What an assassin needs to succeed
An assassin wants a short window against a target with limited answers. Creating that window requires map information, enough resources and a read on defensive cooldowns. A visible enemy is not automatically an exposed enemy.
Jungle is common, but the Assassin roster also includes EXP, mid and roam options alongside Fighter, Mage and Marksman hybrids. Each profile identifies the lanes and damage type behind the role label.
The sequence behind a clean takedown
Create the window
Wait for mobility, control or protection to be spent so the target has fewer answers when the engage begins.
Choose the target
The back line is tempting, but removing a jungler or an isolated hero may matter more for the next objective.
Keep an exit
Damage and escape can use the same resources. Learn which ability must stay available until the takedown is secure.
