Description

The title "Striker" is reserved for the highest class of Assassins, and Lass, who possesses experience and wisdom beyond his young age, was given the title Striker and a place of honor above all other Strikers. Though he had been possessed by Kaze'aze, Lass went on a journey seeking absolution, driving out the evil spirits from within him while gaining experience in battle. The leader of the Assassins considered Lass to be a worthy successor and ordered him to undergo a special mission. Having completed all of his missions and saved Bermesiah from Dark Anmon, he received the Assassin's Guild Leader's sword, the Nodachi, and inherited the skill that allows him to draw the Nodachi out of its scabbard as quick as lightning, thus beginning his journey as the Assassin's Guild's Striker.

The Striker's weapon is called a Nodachi, a long sword that is kept in a scabbard. The Nodachi can remain in its scabbard even during battle, but even the most basic techniques require the wielder to draw the blade at the speed of light. The Striker's Shadow Dash is difficult for even Assassins to follow, moving rapidly on the ground and in the air using peculiar skills to harass the enemy with continuous, rapid-fire attacks with the Nodachi.

"I am old now and can no longer lead the young Assassins. My body is not what it used to be... He who completes this mission will receive the right to undergo the test to become my successor."

"Did you complete the mission, young Assassin? I can see that you have the characteristics to become a leader. If you want to be the lead Striker, you need to pass this test perfectly."

"Bermesiah has been invaded again?! Sadly, I no longer have the strength to drive them back. Young Assassin, save the world and become a true Striker!"

Trivia

Striker is known as Ronin, Shredder, Slasher or Evan Striper on the other servers.
Striker was likely inspired by Gaikoz, as the ability to "switch" behind an opponent was first displayed by Gaikoz. The weapons that both Striker and Gaikoz use are alike as well, except Gaikoz hold them with both hands.
In the game, both Striker's Normal/Training Helmets have short, pointy ears rather than human ears. This may or may not be intentional, as it is revealed that Lass is half-human and half-demon, and bears a striking resemblance to Rufus' ears. However, Lass' true race was only made known years after Striker's release and may or may not have been a part of Lass' development back then.
- As of the Rebirth season, the ears were changed to human ears.
Striker says "You are one-hundred years too early to fight me" much faster than Thief and Dark Assassin.
Striker is 1 of 3 jobs who sheath their weapon after every time they attack, the other 2 being the Aegis Knight and Duelist.
Striker is the only melee job that has a skill that is influenced by the Necklace effects. In his case, Blade Spirit is the only melee skill affected by elements.
Previously, Striker's attacks were to amp the combo by 12 each time he attacks. This has since been patched.
In ELSWORD, the titular character's Armageddon Blade was based on Striker's Blade Spirit.
- Elsword also has an attack called Rage Cutter although it was instead identical to Spell Knight's Kanavan Strike.
