A Deadly Playstyle
The Rogue archetype introduces a completely unique way to approach combat in Ashes of Creation. If you prefer sneaking through the battlefield unseen or striking down foes with a burst damage, Rogues are all about taking the perfect opportunity to eliminate enemies.
Here is what makes the Rogue special:
- Stealth and Ambush Tactics – Disappear into the shadows and strike when enemies least expect it.
- High Burst Damage – Striking from behind deals additional damage, making Rogues lethal assassins.
- Tools and Tricks – Use caltrops, smoke bombs, poisons, and more to control the battlefield.
- Evasion and Mobility – Flip, dodge, and weave through combat to avoid danger and reposition efficiently.
For players who love tactical gameplay, the Rogue is more than just an assassin. It is a master of scouting and controlling the battlefield.
Key Abilities:
- Stealth: Become invisible to enemies, usable both in and out of combat.
- Backstab: Deal massive piercing damage when striking from behind.
- Lacerate: Inflict bleeding damage over time.
- Acrobatic Strike: Execute a fast burst attack while flipping out of harm’s way.
The Rogue’s Unique Resource: Advantage
The Rogue uses a special resource called Advantage. This resource is gained through specific abilities and can be stacked up to two times. When consumed, Advantage improves your other abilities, giving the Rogue even more damage or silencing enemies.
