Instant Reset is not as useful on an Assassin compared to let's say, a Strider that focuses on Brain Splitter.

With a Dagger-sin's usual DPS skill set - Thousand Kisses / Tempest Harness :
 * Brain Splitter's vulnerable frames at the end should always be cancelled into Instant Reset specially when one fails to stagger the enemy (eg. Living Armor) to avoid being insta-gibbed.

Escaping from Daimon's attacks or any scalable enemy that will potentially hit you while you're clinging to them is best done using Instant Reset specially if in the middle of executing Thousand Kisses. (Jumping away or releasing the grip takes up more frames and one might not make it in time unless done earlier)

And ofcourse, at the event that you are grounded by an attack (that hopefully doesn't kill you outright) and leaves you prone to a followup that will surely kill you (most evident against flyers), Instant Reset is the only thing that can save you (well except for curatives or a Wakestone... but meh lol).
