Guide
Overview
This is purely for assassinations, you're not a brawler, you're not meant to announce your location or strike when they can put their full attention on you. It's possible but it'll make it a lot more difficult to play since that relies purely on game sense with almost no tools to help you fight.
How to play
If in a solo, wait for them to be busy, you want to stealth and engage with a shadow wheel headshot > shadow strike > shadow wheel / lmb x2 > the opposite of whatever the previous one was > aim to catch breakaway > poison crow mark whenever they try to heal.
They should be on life support after that engage, just clean up with the rest of your moves like flash stride, fang rush, etc.
In a trio, you want to target a high priority target, their damage dealer or their support. Ideally, you want to instantly kill 1 person, otherwise, put a lot of pressure on them, put anti heal, teleport all over the place and dash all over the place. It disorients the enemy and makes their coordination messed up.
You can also play for using shadow strike to aim for huge stuns in a tight area or to combo with your allies abilities.
