There’s a single attack button, and things like dodging and parrying are left to a combination of random chance and your Assassin’s stats. Don’t Forget To Use Your SkillsĬompared to their console cousins, fights in Assassin’s Creed Identity aren’t very complicated. But again, diversifying costs coins, and spreading your limited skill points across two different skill sets means slower progression toward higher-tier skills. If you’re still having a hard time deciding, bear in mind you can always create more Assassins (although unlocking new character slots costs coins), or assign your Assassin a second class. Berserkers carry deadly splinter bombs, Shadowblades get smoke bombs, and Tricksters can wield timed sticky bombs and a noisemaking, enemy-attracting Jack in the Box. And if you’d prefer to keep your distance and throw knives, well, the Shadowblade class is for you.Īdditionally, each class can eventually unlocks bombs. If you plan to fight your way through most encounters, then you’ll probably be happiest as a Berserker, which gives you access to melee attacks that can stun opponents, destroy their armor, or hit multiple foes at once. Note that you won’t get these cool outfits right off the bat, but they’re something to work up to.ĭo you prefer to misdirect enemies by tossing around fistfuls of coins, whistling from hiding places or donning disguises? Then you’ll want to be a Trickster.

Each comes with different bonuses to different attributes – Berserkers get a boost to health and strength, for example, while Tricksters are better at evasion and Shadowblades come with stealth bonuses, but the biggest difference is in the skills you’ll be able to unlock. At its outset, Assassin’s Creed Identity asks you to pick from one of three classes: Berserker, Shadowblade, or Trickster (and also Thief, although you won’t be able to unlock that without a lot of Hero Tokens, which we’ll touch on below).
