Hello again, anonymous random person.

It's impossible to establish relationships and continue a conversation when there are thousands of visitors to this website with the "A Wikia contributor" tag.

Now to answer your question the Assassin is a very well rounded, versatile vocation but it's not my first choice to handle any specific enemy type.

In other words, the Assassin is a jack of all trades but a master of none (IMHO).

But I wouldn't call the sword skills useless ny any means.

If I want to use a sword I specifcally play as a Fighter, which has far superior sword skills.

I can single handedly slay a Living Armor or Cursed Dragon armed with only a sword as a Fighter and take no damage, but I can't do it as an Assassin with a sword only.

If you haven't seen those videos, they're posted on the Living Amor and Cursed Dragon pages by the way.

Personally, if I were going into Bitterblack as an Assassin with a sword (no shield, daggers or bows), I'd equip Full Moon Slash, Blitz Strike, and Windmill Slash.

Full Moon Slash for the invincibility frames, crowd control, and quick recovery.

Blitz Strike to deal with fast enemies (like Hellhounds, Wargs, Goblin Shaman, and Vile Eyes).

Windmill Slash for multi-strike debilitation or to attack a downed Dragon's heart.

And I'd bring 4 different Goldforged swords : Devilsbane, Cursed Light, Golden Rapier, and a Rusted Sword. Switch weapons as needed.

It would be a crazy challenge to do a solo Daimon run with only a sword-armed Assassin, but that's how I would do it.
