How This Guide Is Made

From the builds of the top 100 Assassin players by combat power (132,959–185,917), read between 12 Oct 2026 and 13 Oct 2026. Updated

Builds: we group the top players by the stigmas and skills they use. A group becomes a build of its own only with at least 15% of the players and at least 2 visible differences (stigmas or skills on the bar).

Daevanion path: every step opens a node next to one you already have. The nodes most top players opened come first, weighted by their crystal cost.

Leveling plan: we only see the final builds at level 45, not the order the players took. The plan buys first what almost every top player has, within the game’s level limits.

Most used does not always mean strongest.
