"I'm here to blur the line between life and death."
The Sisters of the Veil, a religious order that views assassination as a sacred aspect of the natural order, choose children for raising using a divination procedure. Targets are determined by the Veiled Sisters through oracular utterances and meditation. They don't take on contracts, and they never seem to go after anyone for mercenary or political gain. A person of immense authority is no more likely to be killed than a peasant or a well digger. Their killings have no apparent purpose and frequently appear to be random. They alone are aware of any patterns the killings may have. Death at their hands is regarded as an honor, and they treat their victims as sacrifices.Any Phantom Assassin can replace any other because they were all born with no other identity but that of their order; their exact number is unknown. There might be many, or there might be few. What lurks behind the Phantom Veil is a mystery. Except that this one is known to occasionally disturb her veils with a prohibited murmur of her own name: Mortred, when no one is close enough to hear.

Tips & Tactics
General
In general, your leveling priority of R>Q>W>E, Start by allocating points to each ability up to level 4, giving Stifling Dagger precedence because it will enable you to pursue, harass, and, if necessary, safely farm, Maximizing Phantom Strike has shown to be the best follow-up.And since only a point early does more than enough, the ability that makes you a pain to heroes that rely on regular attacks, Blur, will be maxed out last.And yeah, of course, whenever you can, always add a point to your ultimate; it's the trait that distinguishes Phantom Assassin as a true assassin!
