Template:Nobodies The Assassin (アサシン Asashin) 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 Shadows 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
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 wish to fight powerful Assassins, the upper area of the Hall Of Empty Melodies in the Castle That Never Was is the only good place. However, in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, you can also fight even harder Assassins in the Cavern of Remembrance.
