Assassin Guide: Claws

Claws are the Assassin's primary weapon. Only she can use them, and she uses them very effectively. While she has them on, she kinda looks like Wolverine, but they're very fast, so don't make fun of her too much...

General Notes:

If you use two claws, put the more powerful Claw on your right hand (left side of the screen). This is the Claw that you strike with the most, so it makes sense to put it on that one.

Your damage will increase significantly as you put more points into Claw Mastery. Charms that add elemental damage can add even more damage than they list if you use Claw Mastery at higher levels (5 or higher, at least).

Some skills require that you be wearing two claws. That is talked about more in Part 2, which talks about the different Assassin skills.

Here is a list of the normal-level Claws. Exceptional and Elite claws will come up soon.
