How to beat Assassin Raider

  • The Assassin Raider has 18 to 23 HP and attacks every single turn, so it is usually the first kill in a raider pack.
  • The Brute Raider wastes every other turn on Roar and the Axe Raider blocks while it swings, so neither punishes a slow start the way this one does. Only the Crossbow Raider hits harder, and it needs a Reload turn between shots.
  • Two Strikes or one real attack remove it.
  • Weak takes a quarter off the only number it has, and a single Block of 10 (11) zeroes it.

Notes

  • 18 to 23 HP (19 to 24 on Ascension 8+), no starting powers.
  • It appears only in the Ruby Raiders fight in Overgrowth, which picks three different raiders from Axe, Assassin, Brute, Crossbow and Tracker, so any given raider shows up in three fights out of five.
