 Falstad Falstad does good damage and can get away from your Q. Make sure to keep your E up if this guy is your target. W Interrupts both of his ultimates so be smart and avoid a Overload combo.
7
 Tyrael High mobility, Good kit. This guy can make you a prime target for his team using his judgement.
8
 Illidan This guy can cause you a lot of trouble. Good peels from your team are a must.

 Tassadar Tassadars strong damage and survivability make him a nightmare, he can eat your burst and put decent sustained damage into you. If he roles archon don't fight this kid alone.

9
 Zeratul Like Nova however due to his requirement for melee range he is a bit more Susceptible to your full combo. Sadly that doesn't make him easy.
9
 Kerrigan Kerrigan is hard because while slows may help on other heroes her ability to pull you back into a stun as well as her good gap closer makes her a top tier threat.
10
 Nova Jaina is squishy, anyone with good burst and engage potential from the teams assassins is going to make you pay. Make Nova pay for exciting stealth early or you may pay later.
10
 Illidan This guy will kill you. Have your team lock him down or enjoy a hideous KDA ratio.

 Tyrael Like illidan he will pick you off with his R and a good team will delete you from existence.
9
 Illidan If he is playing on the hunt, he will pick you off as soon as you break cloak and a good team wont let you see the end of the stun.
10
 Arthas Tanks will eat your burst and ones like Arthus will keep you out of cloak. He will make you pay, so shoot elsewhere.

Not a guide. Top

What is this?

This is not a guide however it should be used as a reference for what I consider to be the best builds for each of the heroes labelled as assassins. Bare in mind builds are often situational and these are my optimal builds for the Hero not the situation, this is something you the player must learn.

The current Assassins in Heroes of the Storm are as follows:

Ranged:

Valla : Tier 2
- Good Damage
- Good Siege
- Good Hero Power.

Falstad: Tier 1
- Sick Damage
- Sick Burst
- Insane Hero Power

Tychus : Tier 1
- Strong ALL Game.
- Second HP Bar with Odin
- Good Kit for Role.

Raynor : Tier 2
- High AA Damage
- Melts Tanks and Other Frontline
- Decent Siege Potential

Jaina : Tier 2
- Insane Damage
- Good Wave Clear
- Decent CC

Nova : Tier 3
- Good Burst
- Strong Hero Powers
- Cloak

Melee:

Illidan : Tier 1
- Strong Chase
- Good Sustain
- Decent Damage
- Best Merc Camp Assassin.

Zeratul : Tier 2
- Insane Burst
- Strong CC
- Cloak

Kerrigan : Tier 3
- Decent CC
- Decent Damage
- Nice Kit Merchanics for Uptime.
