Assassin Class in 99 Nights: Katana, Knives and Crit Tips

TL;DR, bestie

  • Starts with Katana and a pile of Throwing Knives.
  • Perks: sprint speed, first-hit crit chance, more knife spawns in chests.
  • Levels by kills with no damage taken.
  • High skill ceiling, low tolerance for panic swinging.

Assassin is the class that treats the forest like a rhythm game: sprint, first-hit crit, do not get touched or the homework gets longer.

How to get Assassin Class

Play clean. The level quest wants undamaged kills, so pick targets you can finish without eating chip damage. Use knives to open, katana to close.

Comparisons

When Assassin Class is the right pick

I lock Assassin Class when the team is missing its job, not because a thumbnail yelled tier S.
