Which kind of Assassin should I play?

The Assassin's main weapons are the Fist and Claw. The difference between each weapon are:

Fist (Ranged) - Lesser contact with monsters / Lower chance of dying / More target limits per skill but lesser damage compared to Claw skills / Easier to combat flying monsters.

Claw (Melee) - Higher chance of contact with monsters / Higher chance of dying at low level / Lesser target limits per skill but higher damage compared to Fist skills / Harder to combat flying monsters, need to pull and aggregate them / HP and MP pots tend to finish more quickly.

What's the difference between Justice and Chaos Assassins?

Players can choose to join either the Justice or Chaos faction when their character reaches level 40. Chaos skills tend to be more violent and explosive with a higher skill damage %, and usually emit a dark or purple aura. Justice skills tend to be more balanced with a lower skill damage %, and usually emit a green aura.

Chaos Assassins are stronger than Justice Assassins before 3rd job (level 110~130). Fist Assassin is generally more highly recommended for faster leveling from level 110 onwards. After 3rd Job, when you have obtained skills 133, 136 and 143, DPS will greatly increase, however the skill damage % of Justice Assassin's 3rd job skills are slightly higher than the skill damage % of Chaos Assassin's 3rd job skills.

NOTE: Before the completion of 3rd Job, Assassins can only choose to use ONE weapon, either the Fist or Claw. Upon completion of 3rd Job, players will be able to access the dual weapon system, equipping both weapons and being able to use both Fist (Ranged) and Claw (Melee) skills, making it one of the most versatile jobs.

In the case of PVP, neither faction is stronger than the other, it largely depends on the player's skill and experience. However, one main difference to consider is the skill 69 of both factions. Chaos's skill 69 decreases defence for a certain amount of time while increasing attack power, whereas Justice's skill 69 protects your character from all effects for a certain amount of time. So according to your playing style, this is something you can consider when choosing factions.

Stats

The Assassin's main stat is DEX (greatly increases the damage of critical hits, the higher the DEX, the higher the difference between min - max attack), secondary stat is STR and CON (adds defence and HP).

Some people prefer going for a pure DEX build for maximum DPS, while some might prefer the 3 DEX 1 CON build for more stability depending on their playing style. However, if your aim is to have as high DPS as possible, it is recommended to go for a pure DEX build while equipping your character with high DEX and CON weapons, armors and accessories.

Q&A: Whether to add these skills?

Rose generally does not recommend adding skill points to these skills due to the following reasons:

Skill 83 (Mirror Aegis)

When this skill is maxed, it gives 30% damage reflection. However, for PVP, this skill might be pretty useless as most of the time, high level players are able to 1 hit KO you even with this skill on. It might be more effective for PVE in this sense.

Skill 90 (Doppelganger)

When this skill is maxed, your character has a 90% chance of creating a clone. However, the MP consumption for this skill is high, and the damage output done by the clone is not desirable.
