The '''Assassin''' is a high-ranking [[Nobody]] controlled by [[Axel]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.


==Design==
An Assassin has a vaguely humanoid body that is covered in a purple and silver bodysuit. Its segmented arms are each lined by four blades resembling spikes on the Nobody logo. Both the blades and segments they are on alternate from silver to purple. It occasionally uses its arms as "wings" to glide through the air. On its head is a small cap strapped by bandages with a long cloth hanging down in front of its face<!--Not a tongue; http://oi47.tinypic.com/2vry5xg.jpg-->, which is mostly silver with a purple tip emblazoned with a small, white Nobody symbol. Assassins possess the same flexibility as all Nobodies, and occasionally compact their bodies into floating disks reminiscent of Axel's chakrams.


The Assassin's name is based on the {{ff|Assassin (job)|eponymous job class}} from ''Final Fantasy''.
The '''Assassin''' is a [[Nobody]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It is first found in the 6th day of [[Twilight Town]]. Assassins usually move slowly and within the ground, much like [[Shadow]]s do. They will jump out of the ground or flail their arms to attack. The reaction command, Fail-Safe, allows [[Sora]] to grab one of the Assassin's arms and plunge the Assassin into the ground before it explodes. It seems [[Axel]] controls these Nobodies. The self-destruct attack used by Assassins could be a reference to Axel's death, as Axel also sacrificed himself in battle. Its name may also be a reference to ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' where Axel assassinated [[Vexen]] and attempted to assassinate [[Marluxia]]. It may also be a reference to the Dark Knight Job in ''Final Fantasy'', which used self-destruct attacks as well. After Axel's death, Assassins become an incredibly rare enemy, the only area where they are found being the Hall of Empty Melodies (upper tier) in the [[Castle That Never Was]]. They are found in [[Olympus Coliseum]] cups, but they don't drop anything.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Assassins can be battled as parts of several of [[Roxas]]'s missions. For example, Roxas must destroy as many pots as possible in one minute, but some of them contain Assassins.


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
Assassins spend a lot of time in the ground, during which they are invulnerable to attack. They are only vulnerable when parried. When they attack by flailing wildly, use [[Guard]], then [[Counterguard]] and attack. Alternatively, [[Reflect]] is also effective.
Assassins spend a lot of time in the ground. When they attack by slicing wildly, parry, then attack.
 
If you can use the [[Reaction Command]] '''Fail-Safe''', use it. This will make the Assassin explode, cause you no damage and still give you Experience.
 
If you want to fight powerful Assassins the upper part of the '''Hall of Empty Melodies''' is the only good place (however, in ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix'', you have the option of fighting even harder Assassins in the [[Cavern of Remembrance]]).
 
==Journal Entries==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
''An assassin.  A high-ranking Nobody. It hides in the ground and attacks quietly from behind.''
 
''It cannot be attacked while it is in the ground. Parry its attacks to get it to surface.''
 
''When it starts running around, look out! It'll begin to unleash powerful attacks. Don't miss any chances to use the reaction commands to defeat as many as possible at once!''


Be sure to use the [[Reaction Command]] '''Fail-Safe''', if it appears. This will make the Assassin explode, causing damage to other enemies, except Sora and his party members, and still giving Experience. However, Fail-Safe is unavailable while playing as Roxas.
==Appearances==
* [[Betwixt and Between]]
* [[Twilight Town]]
* [[Olympus Coliseum]]
* [[The World That Never Was]]


The upper area of the [[Hall of Empty Melodies]] in the [[Castle That Never Was]] has powerful Assassins. However, in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', even more powerful Assassins can be fought in the [[Cavern of Remembrance]].
