Gas Powered Games is still fueling their production with the power of patches. GPG has announced that its newest demigod to be added to the arena is the "Demon Assassin," a melee-based unit fighting under the banner of Darkness. Dual-wielding a sword and fighting knife, he's the kind of DPS that may just be enough to scare that rook away.
According to "FrogBoy" of the Demigod forums, the Demon Assassin is a "highly mobile character, who can quickly close the gap between himself and his opponent through use of warp attacks." Think of Erebus, but even more obnoxious. Using a so-called Shadow Swap ability, the Demon Assassin swaps positions with the targeted demigod, possibly pulling enemies back into the midst of your allies.
The Demon Assassin is also a fast attacker, and has a passive (as in always active) ability to critically strike! He also has an ability which increases his dodge percentages, meaning there are lots of evasion-builds in our future.
Here's a quote from the forums (click Read More):
The nemesis to Regulus, the Demon Assassin is extremely fast and lethal.
