Deathblade or Shadowhunter?
Lost Ark’s Deathblade is the more traditional Assassin out of the two Advanced Classes. Slicing her enemies into ribbons and getting out without a scratch, she’s perfect for those who main rogue-style characters in other games.

Reliant on speedy attacks, she’s not as tanky as her Shadowhunter sister, dealing more burst damage instead of sustained, drawn-out fights. This makes her playstyle a little more high risk but is perfect for those who are willing to sacrifice it all to bring down Arkesia’s enemies.
We recommend her for those looking for a more linear style of Assassin, but for those looking for a little more of a health buffer, we’d suggest you opt for Shadowhunter.
