ShadeSniperLANDVERTICAL

In secret conclaves around Nar-Voth, hidden in plain sight within hryngar settlements, are the workshops and training grounds for the Darklands' most technologically sophisticated group of killers. Most hryngar assassins train from childhood, having been recruited from orphanages, and are under a life-debt obligation to their guild leader. While on contract, hryngar assassins are on the lookout for new technologies, gadgets, and alchemical creations. They bring what they find back to their guild

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / VERTICALAn anvil holds enemies at ground level, giving the assassin freedom to reposition via climb and deliver sneak attacks from elevated perches.

WeaverLAND / VERTICALA weaver's forced movement creates off-guard opportunities beyond Surprise Attack's first round, maintaining the assassin's sneak attack damage uptime.

FlankerLAND / VERTICALA flanker on the ground distracts enemies, securing the off-guard condition needed for the assassin's ongoing sneak attack damage from range.
