Overview
A dagger fighter who strikes from stealth and from behind, chaining stuns into knockdowns. It stacks Insignia marks on targets and cashes them in for burst damage, but its small HP pool leaves little room for mistakes.
Strengths
- High single-target burst
- Stealth and teleport mobility
- Strong stun and knockdown chains
Weaknesses
- Low HP punishes mistakes
- Damage depends on positioning behind the target
