Any feedback can be submitted to the discord; https://discord.gg/xpP6AgxWYG

Passive : Mad God's Rage

Getting hit below will fill you with the rage of Oryx the Mad God.

Primary : Dagger

Your primary skill as Assassin is throwing daggers, specially made to pierce any type of armor.

Secondary : Poison

Your secondary skill as Assassin is throwing a specially brewed poisonous potion. This deals some damage on impact and a lot of damage over time.

Alternative Secondary : Virulent Venom

Your alternative secondary skill as Assassin is throwing a poison that has been rebrewed to deal all of its damage at once, instead of poisoning.

Utility : Teleport

Your utility skill as Assassin is throwing down a smoke bomb, then throwing out a teleportation potion, which through some special molecular brewing, teleports you to where it lands.

Alternative Utility : Cloaking Roll

Your alternate utility skill as Assassin is wrapping yourself in your invisibility cloak before rolling away to safety.

Special : War Cry

Your special skill as Assassin is the War Cry, yelling and pumping yourself up for combat, buffing all of your abilities for 5 seconds.

Alternative Special : Spinal Tap

Your alternative special skill as Assassin Spinal Tap, a simple stab, but when stabbing the back of your enemies it is an instant kill. Umbral Assassin is not able to have this skill equipped.

Known Issues

• Virulent Venom currently does not have a function Ancient Scepter alternative. It is programmed and the skill functions, but the Ancient Scepter mod does not allow multiple skill entries for modded survivors? At least not that I could find, so it is left without a skill.

1.2.1

Additions

• Added new Special : Spinal Tap
• Added new Secondary : Virulent Venom
• Removed "The" prefix from survivors name.

Bug Fixes

• Poison is now capable of proccing, at a rate of 0.5% per damage tick.
• Poison DOT is now properly scaling with your damage stat.
• Fixed some skills not setting values correctly.
• Supposedly fixed the bug where poison would not apply under some circumstances. I have never been able to replicate this, even after looking at logs, so I can not confirm it has actually been fixed.
• Fixed the stun potion from Teleport not stunning properly
• Fixed occasional memory leak issues.

1.2.0

Additions

• Added item displays.
• Added Mastery Skin - Exalted.
• Added Grand Master Skin - Divine.
• Added new VFX for the Mastery and Grand Mastery skins.
• Added color for the Assassin in the character select screen.
• Added Ancient Scepter support, it replaces your poison.
• Added a seperation between Additions, Bug Fixes, and Balance Changes in changelog. Will apply to any updates after 1.2.0.

Bug Fixes

• Ragdoll now obeys the laws of physics.
• Not really a bug fix but changed the color of text in the loadout display to properly reflect stats and stuff.

Balance Changes

• Changed Dagger attack speed from 0.25->0.4. Throwing 4 daggers per second would allow you to easily take care of early game enemies, which made Assassin feel very powerful. It's not 0.5 or 0.35 because 0.5 felt too slow, and 0.35 was still good enough to easily take care of enemies. This should help encourage using the poison more as well.
• Made poison's DoT roughly follow the 1% damage per tick rule. It sometimes becomes EVIL and does 10%??? I don't know what makes it do this it just kind of happens randomly, so it's just this and hopefully I can figure it out in a later update.

1.1.3

• Fixed a bug where backup magazines would not work, and would consume the whole stack to throw only one poison.
• Updated SFX to be less annoying.
• Added ragdoll
• Fixed War Cry timing

1.1.2

• Fixed a bug where having too high of an attack speed would prevent War Cry from applying the buff.
• Fixed a bug where debug messages would appear when taunting with EmoteAPI.
• Fixed a bug where cloaking roll woudn't properly apply cloak.

1.1.0

• Added proper credit for artist and animators.
• Added some sounds.
• Updated character select icon to look more vanilla-like.
• Finally fixed the vfx, they are now properly transparent and trail correctly.
• Added a thing so when taunting via EmoteAPI, it hides the knives.

1.0.4

• Added support for EmoteAPI
• Added proper animations, such as character select screen, etc.
• Added alternate utility, Cloaking Roll
• Fixed vfx not appearing.
• Once again attempted to fix poison DoT, again did not work.
• Added proper skill icons for dagger and poison.
• Fixed conflicting name bug.
• Nerf War Cry duration, from 10 seconds to 20. It was a bit too spammable with ~50% uptime if you had perfect timing.
• Updated icon

1.0.3

• Added new placeholder icons for special, and passive.
• Added default skin icon.
• Increased poison cooldown from 2 -> 4.
• Added vfx to help aid in seeing the projectiles when they're throwing.
• Attempted to fix poison DoT not working properly, probably failed again. I haven't done a full run so I do not know if the scaling with increased damage properly works.
• Added passive, Mad God's Rage.

1.0.2

• Fixed image displays on README.md.
• Changed poison projectile size.
• Fixed a bug with Dagger, where crits would inflict hemmorage.

• Removed double jump, as it felt very OP.
• Added a proper selection icon, though it is temporary until a proper render can be made
• Made projectiles spawn from the hands
• Added proper animations
