Preferred Assassin Type

Bored here, and the forums are quiet. So, just curious...if you had to choose, do you prefer ability-based Assassins (e.g. Bastet, Fenrir, Susano) or basic attackers ( Arachne, Bakasura, Kali)?

Personally, I'd say I get more of a thrill out of basic attacking gods to death. It can be pretty tricky for Assassins to stick to enemy gods, especially when they're usually more squishy than their Warrior counterparts. Outside of their kits, they have access to Hastened Katana and Frostbound Hammer, which can help keep them close to their targets. Although Katana isn't for everyone, it's EXTREMELY fun.

One thing I've noticed is that I've been playing Assassins a lot in recent days. Used to prefer NOT playing them.

Side note: Gods I've had a ton of fun playing recently include Arachne, Ne Zha, and Ratatoskr. I also forget about Bastet sometimes, but she's always fun.

I like ability based more. I already do the "hold LMB / Right Trigger" enough as I play my favorite class: Hunter. I still like the basic attacking assassins, just find myself getting more fun out of the ability based ones.

For a while, I was playing hunters a lot more. Right now, I've been playing them a lot less. Not even Medusa is interesting me much, I don't like the feel of Iza's basics, I absolutely hate Anhur...

I think my class preference right now is (from most to least): Assassins, Mages, Guardians, Warriors, Hunters. All of my old most-played gods ( Odin, Bacchus, Medusa, Freya) are just not calling out to me. What's wrong with me?

Here are the gods I enjoy playing the most right now:

I tend to prefer ability based assassins. Nemesis is one of my highest ranked gods and I enjoy Da Ji, Thor, Rat, and Serqet on occasion. I used to like the aa assassins more like Kali and Mercury, but they've fallen out of favor with me.

I like to think of the two assassin types as "surprise, noob" and "ya dun goofed". The first are the ones that come out of nowhere and 100-0 you, and the latter are the ones that punish you for doing some specific thing.

Surprise, noob

• Ao Kuang
• Bastet
• Camazotz
• Da Ji
• Fenrir
• Hun batz
• Loki
• Mercury
• Ratatoskr
• Serqet
• Susano
• Thor

Ya dun goofed

• Arachne
• Awilix
• Bakasura
• Kali
• Ne Zha
• Nemesis
• Thanatos

I usually prefer ability-based gods because my aim is bad.

Mastered Assassins:

• Camazotz
• Fenrir
• Hun Batz
• Kali
• Nemesis
• Ne Zha
• Thor

With the exception of Fenrir (who was ok, but I only played him for one game before getting Mastery I on him due to a triple worshiper weekend) I enjoyed playing all of these assassins, so... I guess I like a bit of both?


Based strictly on how fun some of the individual gods are to play or based on the fun of the role in general (in Conquest)? I assume the first, just making sure. For me, depending on which it is:

Conquest Roles: Warrior -> Hunter -> Guardian -> Assassin -> Mage
Individual Gods: Assassin -> Warrior -> Hunter -> Guardian -> Mage

Yeah, I was talking about general class.

In Conquest, for roles, top (most preferred) to bottom (least preferred), with 3 gods in each role I tend toward:

• Support: Ganesha, Bacchus, Athena
• ADC: Medusa, Freya, Hachiman
• Solo: Bellona, Vamana, Loki
• Mid: Eset, Nox, Hel
• Jungle: Ne Zha, Arachne, Ratatoskr

Note that I basically never play jungle...lol. Conquest preference is based on comfort of the role, not entertainment factor of the god.

Favorite Assassins for support in order of most fun to least fun

Ne Zha -> Awilix -> Serqet -> Fenrir -> Mercury -> Ratatoskr -> Thanatos -> Thor -> Hun Batz -> Da Ji

I don't play Assassin too much but I do like ability based assassins (is loki one of them?) cuz I build full pen + power. I do like Arachne though.

My current most played gods for Assassin - Loki, Serqet, Arachne and probably Camazotz (Idk how to build for him)
