Coup de Grace · levels at 3 / 6 / 9 different pieces

Every Assassin piece: At the start of each battle, Assassins leap behind the enemy lineup with their first move. (The guaranteed critical hit after the leap needs the (3) Assassin bonus or higher.)

Crit chances can be raised by luck effects such as the Lucky Pendant. The 15% rolls from (3) and (6) are separate; when both proc, the higher crit applies.

  1. 3

    Assassins get a 15% chance to crit for 250% damage. Their first hit after the leap always crits.

    Note: The Assassin trait says the first hit after the leap always crits, but that only happens once you have 3 Assassins.

  2. 6

    Assassins get an extra, separate 15% chance to crit for 400% damage, which stacks with the (3) bonus. The post-leap crit is 250% or 400% at random.

  3. 9

    Assassins can leap again after getting a kill, or when a 5-10 second timer runs out. Every post-leap hit uses the highest crit the piece has (at least 400%).

    Note: The tooltip says “a certain duration”. The first re-leap timer is 9 seconds, then 5-10 seconds.

Official in-game tooltip

The first movement of Assassin pieces in each round causes Assassins to leap over to the back of the enemy lineup. The first blow after Backstab Leap is always a critical strike with a random bonus damage amplifier.

Class Perk: Coup de Grace
Active when you have at least (N) different Assassin pieces on board. (Multiple effects stack)

(3) Assassins: All friendly assassins have 15% chance to critical hit for 250% damage.
(6) Assassins: All assassins have 15% chance to critical hit for 400% damage.
(9) Assassins: All assassins refresh a Backstab Leap move after killing an enemy or a certain duration. This Backstab Leap always deals the maximum possible critical damage.

Assassins are skilled executioners that leap into enemy backlines. Together, they gain a keen eye for weaknesses in enemy armor, gaining the ability to deliver devastating critical hits.
