Editing Assassin (section)

==Strategy==
*The '''Assassin''' can be an effective early-game tower, due to its cheap cost, decent AoE and DPS.
**The '''Assassin''' can hit [[Lead (Attribute)|lead]] and [[Hidden (Attribute)|hidden]] enemies quite early on, making it excellent for gamemodes where such enemy types appear quite early, like the [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode.
**At the beginning, it is recommended to place down two Level 0 '''Assassins''', which should be upgraded to Level 2 once the cash is available.
**Later on, it is recommended to fully upgrade '''Assassins''', as lower levels will struggle to handle higher health enemies like the [[Molten Golem]] or [[Fallen Giant]].
** The '''Assassin''' can be used to quickly clear earlier waves and essentially speedrun early game, especially with its '''Whirlwind Slash''' which allows it to attack multiple enemies at once.
*While it can become ineffective during late-game, It can shred or decrease hordes of lower-health enemies like [[Hazmat]] or [[Breaker4]], allowing other towers to target the stronger enemies on the lane.
** The '''Assassin''' is especially useful in taking out weaker hordes of [[Lead (Attribute)|lead]] enemies as many other towers cannot attack this enemy type, allowing them to focus on the enemies they can damage.
*Due to the '''Assassin's''' low range, it is quite important to maximize how much path it can cover. Poor placement will lead to it performing poorly.
**Ideal spots for it are small bends, like the multiple u-turns on [[U-Turn]] or the u-turn at the beginning of [[Simplicity]]. Other decent options are spots which enemies cross over multiple times, such as the center of [[Crossroads]] or one of two loops of [[Northern Lights]].
*By late-game, the '''Assassin''' will be unable to fight off the far stronger enemies. It is recommended to invest in far better towers by then.
** '''Assassin''' can still be used to clear crowds, especially when many are placed down.
*The '''Assassin''' benefits greatly from the [[Firerate Buff]] and [[Damage Buff]].
**The [[Firerate Buff]] makes it attack faster, reaching its three hit and 500 damage thresholds quicker and increasing its DPS.
**The [[Damage Buff]] not only boosts the damage from the main attack, but also the damage of the whirlwind and the knife throw, boosting the DPS of all of its three attacks.
**The [[Range Buff]] is not that effective on the '''Assassin''', as it only boosts its main attack range. The ''Whirlwind Slash'' and ''Fan of Knives'' abilities will not have their range boosted by it.
*The '''Assassin''' synergises well with the [[Firework Technician]] as it has AOE attacks that can launch a high amount of fireworks from hitting multiple enemies at once.
**Do note that the '''Assassin''' only starts performing AOE attacks from Level 2 onward with its ''Whirlwind Slash''. This means that using the [[Firework Technician]] to boost a Level 0-2 '''Assassin''' is not as effective since those levels only use basic, single-target attacks.
*The '''Assassin''' can indirectly hit [[Flying]] enemies with its ''Whirlwind Slash'' and ''Fan Of Knives'' if another detectable enemy is within attacking range.
**This means that '''Assassin''' is technically able to damage all three enemy types, though it is not recommended to rely on this for [[Flying]] enemies.
