Wemade is adding a new class to Legend of Ymir, and it leans hard into the fantasy of a fast, lethal killer. The Assassin (어쌔신) is a hooded, dagger-wielding fighter carrying the tagline “The Shadow That Calls Death.” It fights up close, moves constantly, and finishes fights with a towering purple phantom summoned at its back.
Quick answer: The Assassin is a high-mobility dual-dagger melee class landing in the October update. No exact in-October date has been confirmed.
What the Assassin class is
The Assassin is a mid-range attacker built around speed and constant repositioning. Instead of holding a line like the Warlord or trading raw punches like the Berserker, it slips between enemies, strikes fast, and gets out. The teaser presents a female character in a white and gold hooded outfit with a thin gold veil across the face, fighting with a pair of ornate daggers.
Combat style and weapons
The Assassin’s kit is fast, acrobatic melee. It combines rapid dual-dagger combos with aerial movement, using a wire or grapple to leap and spin above enemies before striking. Attacks leave red slash trails and produce bleed and blood-splatter effects on hit.
- Dual ornate daggers as the main weapon
- Rapid multi-slash combos at close range
- Wire or grapple maneuvers for aerial leaps and mid-air spins
- Bleed and blood-splatter damage effects
- High mobility to move freely between grouped enemies
The shadow phantom ability
The class’s signature moment is an awakening skill. The Assassin kneels and summons a massive, glowing purple shadow phantom that rises directly behind her, then lunges forward with a dagger strike. The teaser also shows a shadow teleport wrapped in purple energy, suggesting the entity accompanies and amplifies her attacks rather than acting as a separate pet.
When the Assassin releases
The Assassin is scheduled for the October update (10월 업데이트), confirmed on the trailer’s promotional splash screen. A specific day and time within October has not been announced, so treat the month as the only confirmed window for now. It arrives alongside a larger update rather than as a standalone patch.
The game itself is rated adults-only (청소년이용불가) and carries the standard disclosure that it contains probability-based items (확률형 아이템 포함).
How to prepare for the class change
If you plan to switch your existing character to the Assassin at launch, stock up on crystals first. A class change is expected to cost roughly 5 to 10 crystals, so saving that amount ahead of the update means you can swap the moment it goes live.
Build your crystal reserve before the update deploys rather than after, so you are not waiting on currency when the class becomes selectable.
You will know the class is available once the October update is applied and the Assassin appears as a selectable option in the class change flow. Until the patch goes live, the class stays locked regardless of how many crystals you have saved.
