in blade and soul pvp, assassin don’t want to encounter the enemy of destroyer. as we all know, the destroyer has inherent advantage to fight with destroyer, not only it has high hp, but also it’s close combat damage is very high. the only drawback for destroyer is the long-remote damage. while, assassin can only play close-remote, and it’s damage can’t beat destroyer as soon as possible. then, how can we handle destroyer?

assassin vs destroyer pvp guide
the beginning of the combat is the most important in blade and soul pk area. however destroyer favorite opening is power slam, this skill shot too fast difficult to defense, the best way is to use shunpo or ss resist, and preferably in the air, because you can use the next blink step grab the upper hand.
their battle plan could be: high aggression, cornering us/pushing us against walls after a grab. persistence (blue buff) is also a solid choice against sins. ice mine can counter that plan pretty well, because it gives you time to breathe. i personally love to play throwing mine here & play the 3minute waiting game.
try playing with their patience using full duration stealths near them (not too close to get hit by spins, not too far to still be able to initiate)
always use flower over trinket, simply because it’s a lower cooldown.
if he forces you into a situation where your flower & tab is on cd - make sure to q his charges. their throw has a rather slow and predictable animation to be countered by either ss or smokebombing it.
be careful on punish commitment - if your escapes are on cd they might just pop persistence and blow you out of the water.
it’s very rare that we’ll use our trinket on grab - while they have us in a good position for them & will most likely put is with the back against the wall , wait for drop combo and get one big stun cd with your trinket or maybe even red/blue buff, counter all piledriver attempts from grab (animation has a big windup and it's easy to time against, don't confuse it with his grab spin windup). if you need the help of blade and soul gold, please come to dpsvip.com!
