The '''Assassin''' (Japanese: {{hover|アサシン|Asashin}} ''Assassin'') is an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced]] [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE7}}. It is the most common [[Class change|promoted]] form of the [[Thief]] class, appearing in four games since.
The '''Assassin''' (Japanese: {{hl|アサシン|Asashin}} ''Assassin'') is an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced]] [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE7}}. It is the most common [[Class change|promoted]] form of the [[Thief]] class, appearing in five games since.


Assassins are designed to add powerful offensive abilities on top of the Thief's traditional utility functions. Though their stats remain in the same pattern as Thieves, with fantastic [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]] but average [[strength]], their most iconic feature is their exclusive access to the [[Lethality]] skill, which gives them the ability to instantly kill a foe if it triggers. They also tend to have significant bonuses added to their [[critical hit]] rate. However, they are still fairly frail, with below-average [[HP]] and [[defense]], and poor [[resistance]]. Assassins are very much a luck-based class, relying on random chance of activating critical hits or Lethality, but are extremely dangerous when luck works in their favor.

In every appearance except {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, Assassins are a class change option for Thieves; in {{title|The Sacred Stones}} and {{title|Awakening}}, [[Myrmidon]]s also have the option to promote to Assassin. In {{title|Path of Radiance}}, however, only [[Volke]] is allowed to promote to Assassin, and the game's other playable Thief, [[Sothe]], cannot promote at all. In ''Radiant Dawn'', the Assassin is a [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier class]] which is entirely exclusive to Volke again, and is not a promotion option for any class.
In nearly every appearance, Assassins are a class change option for Thieves; in {{title|The Sacred Stones}} and {{title|Awakening}}, [[Myrmidon]]s also have the option to promote to Assassin. In {{title|Path of Radiance}}, however, only [[Volke]] is allowed to promote to Assassin, and the game's other playable Thief, [[Sothe]], cannot promote at all. In {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, the Assassin is a [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier class]] which is entirely exclusive to Volke again and is not a promotion option for any class, although the extremely similar third-tier class [[Whisper]] is still an option for [[Rogue]]s who promoted from Thieves. In {{title|Fates}}, their role is supplanted by the [[Master Ninja]] class, a similarly functioning promotion option for the Thief's Hoshidan counterpart—the [[Ninja]]. In {{title|Three Houses}}, they are not restricted to any character and do not necessitate needing to class change from the Thief class, although the Thief class is the easiest route to reach the Assassin class from due to its specialties; this is changed in {{title|Warriors: Three Hopes}} where the Assassin must be promoted into from the Thief as per the norm, and they in turn promote into the [[Trickster]] this time around.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In ''The Blazing Blade'' and ''The Sacred Stones'', Assassins actually lose their access to the [[Steal]] skill when they promote from Thieves, although they are still able to use [[Lockpick]]s. This was fixed in ''Path of Radiance'', but the class loses Steal again in ''Radiant Dawn''.

* ''Path of Radiance'' has [[Unused content in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance|an unused female version]] of the Assassin with slightly different stats.
