Monster and boss
Scorched Assassin
Scorched Assassin is a boss of the agile type found in Scorched Canyon.
Lore
The Scorched Assassin is the boss of Scorched Canyon, a killer who hid in the gorge's smoke long before it caught fire. When the flames arrived, he learned to walk inside them, and now he slips between the columns of ash as if they were curtains.
Agile and treacherous, it never stays in one place. It attacks in quick chains of short blades and, when it finds an opening, unleashes Predatory Combo, a flurry of cuts that slips past part of the hero's defense. Whoever blinks in front of it loses the fight.
Special attack
Predatory Combo: every 3 attacks, Scorched Assassin hits for 141% of its normal damage and ignores 5% of your defense. Loot focus: Weapons / Boots (Advanced).

On Hard items drop as Nightmare (+40% to flat attributes and +30% to % bonuses); on Hardcore they also drop as Nightmare, and once in a while, very rarely, a Godlike (+80%) comes, delivered by letter.
Special enemies pay more: the Elite drops an item 38% of the time, the Champion 70% and the Ancient Monster 100%; Champion and Ancient Monster raise the item's rarity by 1 level. The jewel chance is 2× on the Elite, 4× on the Champion and 8× on the Ancient Monster. Each Reset also raises the jewel chance a little. See Special enemies (PT).
