====== Assassin Subclass - Machine Reference ======

This page provides machine-readable reference data for the Assassin hero subclass in Remixed Dungeon.

===== Overview =====
The Assassin is one of two mastery paths available to the [[mr:rogue_class|Rogue]] hero class, specializing in surprise attacks and burst damage. When performing a surprise attack on an enemy that has not seen the hero, the Assassin inflicts additional bonus damage.
