@ napeHb c kypuJIku, in the Item Forge go to the Blueprints section then choose the Custom category. The Assassin Sword and Kunai skins are available there.

Thanks for the comments all! The assassin hero class should go well with the upcoming Vampires DLC.

Can you tell me how to create new weapons? During 2 game sessions, not a single assassin weapon fell out. There are no recipes in the forge either, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Just used it with the new Death Stalker unit, Mmm chefs kiss.

This class is excellent! I am still learning how to better use it, but I wanted to drop a comment and thank you for fixing what I have found to be a major annoyance to me since the Ways of War - that blade-and-dagger wielding heroes would hold the dagger as they would a shield. The assassin's blades are now my favourite weapons, and I love my skulking, scheming heroes. I'm looking forward to many games with them.

Just pushed a small bug fix patch to fix 2 minor bugs.

Thanks for the comments all. I'm glad people are enjoying the class! I plan on revisiting the shadow side of the skill tree, but will wait to see if the devs release a new assassin/rogue hero class in the upcoming Gargoyle update.

@Nexious, thanks for the report, fixed!

@Jenkem, I'm unsure how the AI uses the class. I did make it less likely for the AI to choose some skills like Shadow Step to avoid AI heroes charging in.

Version 1.2
Balance Changes
- Surprise Strike cooldown changed to 2 Turns (from 3).

Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where Graceful Killer unlocked Opening Strikes and Fatal Strikes.
- Fixed a bug where Eclipse Strike had preferred ability priority over Melee Strike.
- Updated the Assassin class description tooltip to include One Handed Weapons.

When getting "Eclipse Strike" it sorts itself to the top of all abilites and is selected as the default action instead of your base melee or ranged attack which I think is wierd and annoying.

I have a feeling that the coming Elder Vampire is going to work well with this class :)
