Intrinsic to the Assassin's arsenal of
abilities is her incredible prowess in the mysterious Martial Arts style
of the Viz-Jaq'taar. Martial Arts skills come in two forms, Charge-up
Skills and Finishing Moves. A Charge-up Skill is an attack that adds a
"charge" for each successive hit within a short time frame.
While each Charge-up attack deals normal damage, the charges continue to
accumulate until triggered or until the time limit runs out. To trigger
the accumulated charges, strike a monster with either a normal attack or
one of the Finishing Moves. A Finishing Move doesn't just trigger the
release of the accumulated charges-it also adds a powerful effect of its
own. Furthermore, by building up a succession of different Charge-up
Skills, Assassins can generate a potent combination of effects.
Assassins are specially trained in the use of exotic Claw-class
weaponry, and some of their skills can be used only when armed with
these weapons.
You can use any one or two-handed
weapon with Tiger Strike, Cobra Strike, Phoenix Strike which means you
can combine those skills with a Shield and a good one-handed weapon if
you choose. They do not use two weapons at once however the damage and
speed is averaged. Blades of Ice, Claws of Thunder, and Dragon Claw
require Katars (Claw-class Weapons).
Fists of Fire, Claws of Thunder, and
Blades of Ice use two Claw-class weapons.
Charge-up Skill: Through
extensive training in human, animal, and demonic anatomies, Assassins
have developed the ability to perceive natural points of weakness in
their foes and target these locations for especially devastating
attacks.
