Golden Son (Assassin)

Pulled this guy from the Assassin/Gunner rare soul weekly trooper gift last week. He does true damage (although his damage pales in comparison to the mummy dog or harpy) which is really awesome and he hits AOE.

With skill shards guaranteed to boost damage all the way up to 50% more, he has potential to be a beast. The power skill basically makes him and your team unkillable (unless you get debuffed). So far I like him enough to add him to my main team.

If anyone would like to try him, I can add you as a trooper. He is my current champion. WickedVase-5538

Yes he's very good I have him alongside the warrior one they are bad ass

I was thinking about combining his ability Immortality ( grants endure for 2 turns ) with Speed of Light Eddie's Restore ( Extend Duration of beneficial effects on allies). It would create a immortal team. Tested out it today, it worked...until one enemy stunned my Eddie. Of course all team was very low level and not very well equipped.

Throw in Warrior Pyro Soldier for the 2 turns of Immunity and you will have a truly invincible team.

[Olevipoeg]

I will test it. Luckily, I have pyro soldier already. I will probably need energy set also to get enough energy.

[Kaijester]

Well don't try this with enemies that can dispel and enemies like the Beast that steals your status.

Just got this guy too, but what are you doing for talismans? I cant seem to work out what I need to scale his damage? Im only doing ~180X3 damage as a L55 3 star (unless crit). My Allied Soldier does so much more in comparison.

One of my troopers has one of these guys at level 100. He hits like a truck. JACK-8799

Assassin Golden Son's 'Immortality' skill is very useful!
Found him 3 days ago and already made half Underworld madness, and I still don't have any 5* character! I was at first third of Underworld Hard before him.
There are only few enemies that you should fear, and the most horrible is Angel of Pain - his passive ability reduces the time of the buffs. On the Beast's Wrath level there are two Angels of Pain, so your skill just disappears right after your turn. I've tried to extend duration with Speed Of Light Eddie, works like a charm.
I've put him 5 Assassin Talismans so his ATK and Magic is about 1950 each. He make about 3 times 800-1200 dmg, crits about 1600-2800 dmg. So the best attack is about 8k dmg.
I can make him as my leader so you can try - Wololo-3474

UPD. Upgraded him to 5*, now he hits even more!
I think his is kind of imba, I was able to finish Underworld Madness and clean Time Rift 10 lvls without any major problems.
P.S. Attack of Golden Son right after Carriage Rider Eddie's special (many buffs for your teams and negative effects for enemy) is just incredibly strong - 3 times 2500 with chance of crit that hits 4000. Ouch!

So, maxed his base attack skill through some left-over shards (heh...) and to tell you the truth can't notice any difference in his damage output. Can someone else confirm?

[Browno]

I could not see any difference either. Kind of a bummer :(

[Cthulhum]

Ah that is too bad, even the increase did not seem to make much sense (i expected it to be a combination of both increase of damage, as well as likelihood of criting, just as in the cases of other characters where all dimensions of a skill were raised).

Anyway, let's hope they fix it as some point (along with adding the buggy passive).

[Cthulhum]

Coming back to this character, and while managing to finally gather 6 assassin talisman, this is the result:

1372

1373

[Coletrain]

How hard does he hit with the double assassin sets?

[Cthulhum]

From what i've noticed, it ranges from 1370 - 1750 per hit, with at least one critical of 2650 - 3000+...

Can't say it's impressive, the character in overall is pretty weak (considering it's HP and defenses). Hoping something will change in regards to leveling up his skills (i don't think he got the bonus % damage after maxing).

Probably a build with 3 fury talismans would offer a higher damage output, but was very curious to try to this one.

[podstrahuy]

His attack is fixed after Oct. 14 update.
Now he hits hard:
1514

[Esquatcho]

Ooh, I just upgraded mine to 5* (my first 5* toon). So thats with fully maxed everything & double assassin set?

[podstrahuy]

Esquatcho, yes, it's his maximum basic attack possible.
I'm really thinking about max another one and add to my team, he hits about 8k dmg to each enemy.
But I'm not sure, right now I have warrior Golden Son with 6 maxed burn talismans, the chance to have 3-9 burn effects is very high, but useless on auto (no perfect - no party).

[Esquatcho]

Ive heard playing 2 characters the same halves their attack or something like that. Otherwise, it would be great idea! He is basically the main thing that keeps me progressing in the game at the moment!
