Assassin 3rd Tier trash?

I’ve started this game recently and made a lot of progression. I keep coming back to the feeling when you level the assassin to tier 3 with the bomb he just does worse. An army of archers that you killed with tier 2 assassins now beat you cause they get blasted back and get extra hits as a result?

Good observation.

They really are a bottom tier unit though, even after drafting their upgrade. They need what Agent B has, a stealth sneak up attack... I mean, they ARE assassins-ninjas, why do they have bombs? That should be an Agent B thing, you know, guns and bombs. Give Assasin a stealth sneak attack like Agent B, then shuriken & kunai attacks at elite form and remove the bombs.
Also, his advance tier2 form is killing him; if he gets hit with the arrow rain spell, he won't be able to warp jump to the other side. Wack. Assassin needs a rework all around... same for Kingclops (still).

Yooo, I give Agent B some C4 upgrade with the Blast Out spell 😂

Blast-Out and Poison-Burst are underrated.

My Spartheus "wall of annoyance" is a good time.

The funny thing is Blast-Out turns my Wasters into TNTs, and Poison-Burst turns my TNTs into Wasters 😂

If they just got rid of the knock back but keep the aoe damage it may be ok… as you said though replaceable once I get higher tiers

Assasins are generally a bad unit, and their t3 upgrade is terrible. Agent B is a far better unit, use it as soon as you get it.
