Assassin Cross
The Assassin Cross is the transcendent form of the Assassin, the endpoint of the Thief line's killer branch. It deepens both of the Assassin's playstyles: Shadow Strike gains ranged burst and area shockwaves that fire instantly from stealth, while Venom Master culminates in deadly poisons that turn the weapon into a plague vector.
- Shadow Strike: Katar and dual-wield burst, now with a long range soul attack and a crowd-clearing shockwave, both cast instantly under Cloaking.
- Venom Master: brews and wields Deadly Poison, doubling down with a defense-piercing focus and a toxic cloud that spreads the coated venom.
As with the Assassin, the lines are a matter of priority: points can be spent freely and hybrid builds remain playable.
Specialization branches
Shadow Strike
The transcendent Shadow Strike turns the stealth opener into an arsenal. Cloaking now feeds two attacks that fire with no cast time from invisibility, and the Katar mastery chain reaches its peak.
Advanced Katar Mastery
| Job | Assassin Cross |
|---|---|
| Type | Passive |
| Max level | 5 |
Pushes Katar technique beyond its limits, amplifying all damage dealt with Katar-class weapons rather than merely adding attack.
→ Advanced Katar Mastery
Soul Breaker
| Job | Assassin Cross |
|---|---|
| Type | Offensive |
| Target | Enemy |
| Element | Weapon |
| Max level | 10 |
| Range | 9 cells |
A ranged shockwave that tears at the target's soul, combining weapon damage with the user's raw strength. Part of its damage cannot be dodged, it fires instantly from Cloaking, and kills refund part of the user's SP.
→ Soul Breaker
Meteor Assault
| Job | Assassin Cross |
|---|---|
| Type | Offensive |
| Target | Self (5x5 area) |
| Element | Weapon |
| Max level | 5 |
A shockwave released around the user that strikes every nearby enemy, hits harder while dual wielding, can land critical hits and may leave targets stunned, blinded or bleeding. Fires instantly from Cloaking.
→ Meteor Assault
Venom Master
The transcendent Venom Master graduates from snake venoms to true Deadly Poison, brewed by hand and lethal enough to threaten the brewer. Its capstones reward fighting on poisoned ground.
Create Deadly Poison
| Job | Assassin Cross |
|---|---|
| Type | Active |
| Target | Self |
| Max level | 1 |
Distills a bottle of Deadly Poison from venomous ingredients. Brewing is now reliable for any build, but failure still wounds the brewer.
→ Create Deadly Poison
Enchant Deadly Poison
| Job | Assassin Cross |
|---|---|
| Type | Active |
| Target | Self |
| Max level | 5 |
| Catalyst | Deadly Poison x1 |
Laces the weapon with Deadly Poison for a massive physical damage boost. Higher levels burn brighter but shorter, so the level cast is a real choice between peak power and uptime.
→ Enchant Deadly Poison
Locked-On
| Job | Assassin Cross |
|---|---|
| Type | Passive |
| Max level | 1 |
Trains the eye to find weak points, permanently piercing part of the target's defense and sharpening critical strikes. Both bonuses double while Enchant Deadly Poison is active.
→ Locked-On
Plague Burst
| Job | Assassin Cross |
|---|---|
| Type | Offensive |
| Target | Self (7x7 area) |
| Element | Poison |
| Max level | 5 |
A toxic cloud that engulfs everything around the user, spreading the venom coated on the weapon to the whole crowd and hitting weakened or poisoned enemies far harder.
→ Plague Burst
