Assassin's Blade

Assassin's Blade: Thrust a magic blade with lethal precision to stab an enemy, dealing [3073 / 3106 / 3140 / 3174] Magic Damage. Deals 300% more damage to enemies below 25% Health.

Killer's Blade: Cost: 2066 Stamina.
Thrust a caustic blade with lethal precision to stab an enemy, dealing 3176 Disease Damage. Deals up to 400% more damage to enemies with less than 50% Health. Heals you for [6351 / 6421 / 6491 / 6561] if the enemy dies within 2 seconds of being struck.

Impale: Range: [25 / 26 / 27 / 28] meters.
Throw a magic blade with lethal precision to strike an enemy, dealing 3176 Magic Damage. Deals 330% more damage to enemies below 25% Health.

Assassin's Blade deals Magic Damage, with increased damage to targets with low health. The Killer's Blade morph changes it to have a Stamina cost and deal Disease Damage, also healing you if the target dies shortly after use. Or you can use the Impale morph, which allows it to be used at a distance.

NotesEdit

• Impale is a recommended morph for the Nightblade Initiate and Deathweaver builds, while Killer's Blade is recommended for Umbral Assassin.

Patch NotesEdit

1.2.3

• This ability's visual effects are now easier to see.

2.4.5

• Killer's Blade: This morph now deals Disease Damage instead of Magic Damage.

2.7.5

• Impale: Increased the range of this morph to 28 meters at Rank IV from 18 meters.
  • Developer Comments: Increasing the range on this morph to 28 meters matches the range of other Magicka Nightblade damage abilities such as Strife or Cripple, and makes this morph work cohesively with a ranged ability kit.

3.1.5

• The bonus damage dealt by execute abilities, such as Assassin's Blade or Reverse Slash, now works more intuitively with global damage done bonuses, such as Mighty or Minor/Major Berserk. Execute bonus damage is now multiplicative with global damage bonuses instead of additive.

3.3.5

• The damage from this ability and its morphs can now be blocked and dodged.

4.0.5

• This ability and its morphs now deal their bonus execute damage when the target is below 25% Health, down from 26% Health.

4.2.5

• Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 30%.
  • Developer Comment: This execute was significantly cheaper than any other in the game, and was part of the reason that Nightblade DPS was higher than intended.

7.3.5

• Killer's Blade (morph): Fixed an issue where this ability could fail to be recognized as a class or execute ability in some rare cases.

8.1.5

• Killer's Blade (morph):
  • This morph now causes the execute scaling to change to a linear increase of up to 400% damage done to targets under 50% Health, rather than the static 300% damage done to targets below 25% Health.
  • The heal from this morph now scales off of your highest offensive stats, rather than Max Health.
• Impale (morph): This morph now also increases the execute scaling to 330%, up from 300%.
