Skill / typePublished levelPriority / useEvidence
Quick Sliceactive8Priority 1Recover MP. At 8 choose extra MP or Multi-Hit; at 12 take the Insignia Explosion cooldown choice. At 20 combine that with the level-16 guaranteed-critical choice and your level-8 option. Global database skill ID: 13010000.
Sources (1)
Heart Goreactive8Priority 2Use only when the critical-hit trigger appears. At 12 choose Multi-Hit; at 16 the critical-hit reset becomes available. At 20 add a third slot. Global database skill ID: 13350000.
Sources (1)
Insignia Explosionactive8Priority 3Monitor target Insignias. At 16 use the shorter cooldown plus either Multi-Hit or retaining two stacks; retain stacks if your stack supply cannot keep up. Global database skill ID: 13130000.

Shadowstrikeactive8Priority 4Use for a safe approach to the rear. Repositioning remains manual; the level-8 Critical Damage Boost choice is a utility investment. Global database skill ID: 13070000.

Rotation and recovery

  1. Reach the rear with Shadowstrike or walk around the target.

    When: A safe landing and attackable target.

    If interrupted: If the landing crosses a mechanic, stay at the safe angle and resume after it.

    Sources (2)
  2. Activate Swift Contract and Illusive Clone.

    When: The boss will remain attackable; do not spend both while running.

    If interrupted: Use Quick Slice and reposition while waiting for a useful window.

    Sources (2)
  3. Use Heart Gore when its Critical Hit trigger appears; alternate your available core attacks.

    When: The trigger is active. With the 16-level reset, keep watching the actual proc rather than pressing a fixed timer.

    If interrupted: No trigger: resume Quick Slice/Savage Roar and preserve MP.

  4. Spend Insignia Explosion when enough Insignias are present and the target is reachable.

    When: Inspect the stacks; prefer a full stack window when time allows.

    If interrupted: If Explosion returns faster than stacks accumulate, use the retain-two-stacks choice instead of the Multi-Hit choice.

  5. Use Evasion Stance or movement to leave danger, then return to safe rear attacks.

    When: Mechanic or incoming damage interrupts the rotation.

    If interrupted: Do not consume the remaining mobility merely to keep a damage sequence intact.

Upgrade order

  1. Reach the next Quick Slice specialty

    The 12-level cooldown option and 16-level critical option change the loop.

    Prerequisites: Additional effective skill levels for targets above 10

    Sources (1)
  2. Reach Heart Gore 16 before chasing incidental skills

    Its critical reset supports repeated casts when the proc is available.

    Prerequisites: Critical Hit trigger and extra skill-level sources

  3. Trade defense for Savage Fang 15 only after clean clears

    The buff and five supplied Insignias add an offensive window.

Troubleshooting

Damage falls sharply in moving encounters

Likely cause: You are losing rear attacks or wasting buffs while chasing.

Try: Recover the rear only when safe; delay Clone until the boss stops moving.

Rotation and recovery

  1. Reach the rear with Shadowstrike or walk around the target.

    When: A safe landing and attackable target.

    If interrupted: If the landing crosses a mechanic, stay at the safe angle and resume after it.

    Sources (2)
  2. Activate Swift Contract and Illusive Clone.

    When: The boss will remain attackable; do not spend both while running.

    If interrupted: Use Quick Slice and reposition while waiting for a useful window.

    Sources (2)
  3. Use Heart Gore when its Critical Hit trigger appears; alternate your available core attacks.

    When: The trigger is active. With the 16-level reset, keep watching the actual proc rather than pressing a fixed timer.

    If interrupted: No trigger: resume Quick Slice/Savage Roar and preserve MP.

  2. Reach Heart Gore 16 before chasing incidental skills

    Its critical reset supports repeated casts when the proc is available.

    Prerequisites: Critical Hit trigger and extra skill-level sources

Try: Recover the rear only when safe; delay Clone until the boss stops moving.

Try: Resume the basic core and check the trigger; Clone removes cooldown, not the trigger requirement.

Assassin questions

Is Illusive Clone enough to cast Heart Gore at any time?

No. It removes the cooldown during its window; Heart Gore still requires the Critical Hit trigger.

When should I replace Evasion Stance with Savage Fang?

The Global author uses the defensive flex while learning and suggests the swap around Savage Fang 15. Treat the swap as conditional on clean survival, not a compulsory upgrade.
