RED assassinate is stronger

-Damage may seem nerfed, but Bstep's 25% bonus will apply to all skills in RED, so nate's damage basically gets boosted back to it's original damage from before.
-able to accumulate body counts (no more hearing this crap of using Bstep in between each nate to accumulate orbs, pure nate is still stronger now regardless >.&lt
-can be spammed without needing to cancel the final hit (cause you can't cancel the final hit lol, the delay on the final hit was reduced though)
-much faster
-extra line hyper was replaced by boss damage, but the factors that were mentioned above are able to cover for this loss

Note: The bonus damage from the body counts was not nerfed from 2.5x to 1.5x, it was simply a mistake in the description. There's a more clear explanation in the link above.

The only thing most people are concerned about is the animation, it looks decent to me, needs more work. I prefer the pre-Renegades one still.

Nexon's not really creative when it comes to animations. I didn't know assassinate would be electrifying.[i][/i]

At a glance, it's worse. Overall it's a fair bit better, though still ugly looking.
Does a little less damage per cast, but is much faster, and counts towards BodyCount, so spamming will get you a boost every 5th attack.

It looks like a way flashier version of the xenon's second job skill.

It does more line than before?

I don't like how the animation is bright, because it isn't really "sneaky", but at least it gives a lot more damage and has no dash thing that some people hate.
