Hong Kong - January 21, 2013 - Unlike western
assassins, who have to come close to their target to finish their
target, the eastern assassin from
Conquer Online is very unique in their ability to
kill at a distance. They attack by throwing deadly daggers from
afar, killing their enemies before they know what happened. The
Oriental Assassins are the empire's best kept secret, and have been
disguising themselves as simple archers among the common folk for
years, hunting down the empire's rebellions like Ninjas, Monks,
Trojans....

The Oriental Assassin is specially designed addition for gamers
who have a special love for the long-range classes. They are
excellent at assassinating a single target, but also have several
powerful AoE skills. The Oriental Assassin also carries on CO's
"easy-to-learn" design concept. Even players who are new to the
Conquer world can learn how to kill quickly. However, the Oriental
Assassin has 6 brand new skills that will require gamers to put
some thought into their PvP strategies.
Let's find out what ancient skills an excellent Oriental
Assassin has at their command!
Path of Shadow (Transformation Skill)
With CO's alternate equipment feature, an Archer can equip two
sets of weapons (bow and throwing knife) at the same time. When
switching to the throwing knife, an Archer can transform into the
deadly Oriental Assassin, gaining new skills and becoming much
stronger in PvP battles.
Blade Flurry (XP Skill)
The most attractive skill that boosts an assassin's speed, and
gives them the ability to throw spinning daggers in all directions,
causing damage to all targets around them.
Spirit Focus
After channeling their energy for 5 seconds, an Oriental
Assassin's Attack Power will be enhanced, allowing attacks to
threaten the strongest enemies! If you see a seemingly sleeping
assassin in CO, don't chuckle to yourself! You might just be the
next victim!
Mortal Wound
With their speed and agility, the assassin quickly throws
several knives at the vital areas of a target, inflicting serious
damage. Following Spirit Focus, this skill can help you kill an
enemy in a flash, making the Oriental Assassin a terrifying
foe.
Kinetic Spark
This skill can help an Assassin attack groups of multiple
enemies that try to surround them. Using their inner power to
charge their knives, the thrown blades have a chance to shatter
when hitting an enemy, causing damage to those foolish enough to
stand around it.
Blistering Wave
The major AoE skill of the assassin, and a very useful skill for
frontal assaults, magically heated knives are thrown in an arc,
scorching all targets standing in their path.
Dagger Storm
The Oriental Assassin's other powerful AoE skill, the assassin
brings down a rain of daggers and inflict continuous damage to
anyone within range. It is especially useful in group combat and
guild wars.
The combat videos of the Oriental Assassin will be released
soon, so be sure to stay tuned for the latest information!
