Assassin

Assassin is a miniboss found on Genesis Pines. He is fast and shoots out dark waves every second which deal 10 damage. He has 350 HP. He has a chance to drop 2 to 4 runes, Eternal Darkness, or Shadow Daggers upon being killed.

Fighting
Assassin runs around and fires dark waves from his weapon straight at you. The best way to dodge these is to just run perpendicular to him, so in a circle around him. The loadout I would recommend is Root Emergence/Venomous Fangs, Flaming Wave, Infernal Burst, Flaming Pillars. The idea is to use the stun first, then use flaming wave/infernal burst at close range, like a shotgun. After that you finish with the pillars. A more advanced loadout would be Root Emergence/Venomous Fangs, Ice Shards, Glass Shards, Flaming wave. Loadouts provided by Xdod.
