There is no limit to the number of Assassins a person may summon.
If possible, make sure your target is under a hex or condition. Then the assassin's Iron Palm will cause knockdown.
Despite the Skill Description stating it shadowsteps, it does not follow the usual limitations of shadowstepping, but is rather summoned at the location of the target.
Because it is summoned at the location of the target, this skill combines well with Explosive Growth
If the assassin is killed in battle, his corpse will trigger skills like "I Will Avenge You!". However, his corpse will not be exploitable.
The summoned assassin resembles Vael, who is also an Ebon Vanguard Assassin in Warrior armor.
Occasionally, the assassin will shout battle cries when fighting an enemy. One of these is "I'm really left-handed!", a tribute to S. Morgenstern's The Princess Bride.
