Because the free event concentrated on PvP battles we wer unable to see a lot of Faction's other content, but the two new playable characters are certainly more than enough to write about. The Assassin character is pretty much exactly what the title imply, right down to it's ninja like art style. They have twin daggers and have faster moves to attack their opponants, In playing the Assassin character in the free weekend event, we noticed that the Assassin's "shadowstep" abilities were especially useful as they performed a kind of Picard maneuver to briefly spring up to a point and then quickly transports the character back to the point where they started their move.
