Full: Summon a level 14...19 Ebon Vanguard Assassin that has Iron Palm, Fox Fangs, and Nine Tail Strike. This summoned Assassin Shadow Steps to target foe. If target foe is a Charr, the Assassin lives for 24...29 seconds. If the target foe is not a Charr, the Assassin lives for 12...14 seconds.
There is no limit to the number of Assassins a person may summon.
If possible, make sure your target is under a hex or condition. Then the assassin's Iron Palm will cause knockdown.
Despite the Skill Description stating it shadowsteps, it does not follow the usual limitations of shadowstepping, but is rather summoned at the location of the target.
Because it is summoned at the location of the target, this skill combines well with Explosive Growth
If the assassin is killed in battle, his corpse will trigger skills like "I Will Avenge You!". However, his corpse will not be exploitable.
After it spawns, the Assassin always attacks adjacent foes, even if its not a primary target.
The Assassin does not have infused armour, and will succumb quickly to spectral agony.
Bug! There is a small chance that the Assassin will not disappear after the time limit.
Trivia[]
The summoned assassin resembles Vael, who is also an Ebon Vanguard Assassin in Warrior armor.
Occasionally, the assassin will shout battle cries when fighting an enemy. One of these is "I'm really left-handed!", a tribute to S. Morgenstern's The Princess Bride.
