The '''Assassin''' (Japanese: {{ | 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. | 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 | 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. | ||

The Assassin (Japanese: アサシン Assassin) is an advanced class which was introduced in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It is the most common 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 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 nearly every appearance, Assassins are a class change option for Thieves; in The Sacred Stones and Awakening, Myrmidons also have the option to promote to Assassin. In 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 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 Rogues who promoted from Thieves. In Fates, their role is supplanted by the Master Ninja class, a similarly functioning promotion option for the Thief's Hoshidan counterpart—the Ninja. In 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 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.

- Path of Radiance has an unused female version of the Assassin with slightly different stats.
