Nyx Assassin

Nyx Assassin is a melee Agility Hero who is a dedicated ganker until the end. Nyx Assassin specializes in killing lone and fragile victims with spells that deal burst damage and painful stuns, rather than the usual enhanced physical attacks of most Agility Heroes, such as the Carries. He silently hunts for soft preys like Supports and Spellcasters and use his arsenal of dangerous skills that can cripple and destroy them relentlessly. Nyx uses his incredible burst damage and stuns to kill his target, and can prevent ganks on himself by reflecting their attacks with a punishing stun and damage return, and go invisible and unseen, until he delivers a devastating backstab to punish those foolish enough to try and terminate him.

Nyx Assassin's skills have a simple vibe, but are highly effective in securing kills. However, knowing when to engage will determine whether Nyx himself can survive the fight. He is recommended for new to intermediate players.

Trivia
