View the Assassin's [[Martial Arts]] skill tree. As you'd expect from the title of this tree, these will allow her to perform various styles of combat kicks, as well as power-ups to augment her finishing moves.
This tree is divided into 2 areas. There are six Charge Up skills and four Finishing Moves, although you can use your regular plain attack.
A Charge Up skill can be charged up to three times, each . Each charge will either increase the bonus in some way or alter damage delivered when/if the bonuscharge up is delivered. You must hit your target to register a charge. Charges are displayed visually by small, orbiting lights of appropriate colors. Charges persist for several seconds, and can be refreshed indefinitely. They will expire after Once charged its bonuses can be released by using a Finishing Move {or Attack}. The Finishing Move will also apply a bonus of its own.
An example combination of Charge Up and Finishing Move would be:
Taking the example above...attack with the left mouse button {Fist of Fire} once and your finishing move will apply 6-10 fire damage, charge it a second time and your finishing move will apply 6-10 fire damage over a 2 yard radius, charge it a third and final time and your finishing move will apply 6-10 fire damage, over a 2 yard radius and will burn for 2.5 seconds.
Finishing moves can be used on their own but of course they're not going to be as powerful without the Charge Ups.
Three of the four finishing moves use the feet, Dragon Claw uses the claws and then only when they are dual wielded. No claw plus shield set ups can be used if you're wanting your Assassin to use Dragon Claw. Also, charge ups are released on the '''first claw''' to successfully strike a foe only, not twice, once on the first claw then again on the second claw. The character screen displays it as if the Assassin will release a charge up when the '''left and right claw strike''' and that is '''not the case'''.
Check the [[Martial Arts ID Sheet]] to quickly identify the Martial Art charge ups.
Check [[Assassin FAQ]] for weapons that can be used with Martial Arts.
