100% NOT true, Assassin in ascended is no where close to main, it is something very important to have in ascended IMO.

If you need any help, just ask me and I'd be happy to give you some tips AeroMonk.

Sarcasm dripps of his post like a bleeding artery on a small table. If you have no assassin, it costs nothing to assassinate someone, other than the turns. He wants his enemies not to have any assassin so it doesn't cost him.

I understood that, but someone reading the board for the first time might not see the sarcasm, so I wanted to make sure that it was understood :P

The sad thing is, is that because of the way assassins work in main and because there is no ingame guide in ascension to explain such differences, many people assume they work the same. I see people with little to no assassin power all the time. :?

not a well known fact, but in main and ascended, defcon rate is also the % chance to catch the attacker/sabateur even if they get through....

I can go back to sleep now that Ive learnt something for the day.

Just to reiterate the above point having no assassin is a bad idea despite how much I like finding players who hit my alliance mates but have no assassin power.

So if someone is on critical does the number relate directly? IE: critical gives a 70% chance of catching the attacker?

try to iniciate revolution on test server .. and your target should go on critical. Couzens and I tested it, and I couldn't see who is untraining my planets. EG he had 10 time bigger covert

Btw Aero dont just concentrate on assain, if you have a low defense (very likely after all that assainating) all your enemy has to do is mass your defense, hunt your assains and then just repeat the assination. So high defense/ high covert / high assain are all important to keep a balanced protected account, having a high strike also acts as a bank incase anything bad should happen to you, allowing you to rebuild quickly.
