Something New In Robocraft: Assassin Playstyle

Hey guys, Garens here, and my school has started! yay, joy! I won't be able to do a post tomorrow for this reason and I'll see what I can do the day after. The system is great, as I don't yet know my schedule for that day, but I'll see what can be done.

But that's not the point here. I'm writing about Assassins. So, an assassin is a robo that I 'found out', and I find very good in the current 'Meta'. So let me tell you how you can play as an assassin.

First thing first: Speed is Life. You need as much speed as possible in you GROUND UNIT. You cannot (or I haven't found a way to) do this playstyle in an aircraft. The reason will become apparent soon.
Speed is life. This means you need to use these robots as a kinda 'Hit and Run' vehicle.
You don't want to give the vehicle more armor then neccesairy, as it will just slow you down.

Playstyle is hard, but EXTREMELY rewarding. So, what you do is the following:

1. DO NOT fight face to face. You want to leave that to others, who have more armor.
2. Flank. If you don't know what that means, I'll do a post about that next.
3. If you get damaged, don't worry, you are good and can take on anyone. If not, blame it on server lag.

This is all there is to it. What weapon you use? That is up to you. I'd advise SMG's, but seeing as you want to be as close to the enemy as possible, you may be able to use Plasmas, and the Rails? I don't want you to rage, but you may want to try it if you are a calm person.

Summerising: Don't fight face to face, but use your speed for flanking, kill enemies closely, and most importantly don't ever try fighting 1v1. You want someone else on your team to get the attention of the enemy shooting on you and then go around them and KILL.

One more disclaimer: Choose your moment PERFECTLY. Just as an example, you don't want to go out of a corner with 3 enemies in range of you with no backup clear, but you DO want to go out when the enemy is cornered and in a fight with another teammate.

Ok, this is all there is to it. Watch out for the 'Flanking' tutorial, and an interesting thing coming up, that I don't want to spoil it and my Plane Tutorial either.

If you enjoyed, please let me know by putting a little comment under this post and following the blog by e-mail.

Anyways, have a wonderful day and have fun out on the battlefield.
