2. 🩸 Detailed Analysis of Quick Strike's Life Steal Effect
· 'Quick Strike' is a multi-hit skill with excellent life steal effects. It consists of 2 hits for 'Quick Strike', 3 hits for 'Low Strike', and 4 hits for 'Swift Strike'.
· While the 'Heart' skill recovers 730 HP with a single hit, 'Quick Strike' recovers two to three times more HP.

3. 🛡️ Importance of 'Heal Received Increase' Helm and PvP Setup Strategy
· Using a helm with the 'Heal Received Increase' (HRI) option applies the field-based HRI, amplifying its effect even in the Abyss.
· HRI helms are expected to become very important for future combat (sieges) and dungeon play.
· For evasion-based Assassins in PvP, with the removal of the 'Heal Hope' skill, it can be challenging to face opponents with block or evasion setups.
· For block-based characters, backstab plays are crucial, and for evasion-based characters, difficulties may arise if they cannot receive support from allies like Chanters or Guardians.

4. ⚔️ Accuracy Setup vs. Evasion Setup: Recommendations for Assassin Playstyles
· Evasion Assassins have the advantage of dodging enemy attacks based on their high evasion rate.
· An accuracy setup is suitable for playstyles that require definitively eliminating specific targets. An evasion setup is appropriate for playing while evading in front of multiple enemies or for those who desire 'montage' style plays.
· The difficulty of item setup is lower for accuracy builds, so we recommend an accuracy setup for users who plan to start PvP after dungeon play.
· For those who have already completed their evasion setup, we do not recommend switching to an accuracy setup, even with the removal of the 'Heal Hope' skill.
