“To say that nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our civilization.
To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.”
-Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Greatest AC protagonists
Let’s not forget he set the example for gender equality in the Assassins from the beginning. Plenty of action girls in the Brotherhood, including his sister (who knows how to wield a knife).
I now fully understand the Creed! 🤯
That sounds like a fortune cookie stapled to western philosophy
Steady aim is actually a surprisingly fitting part of the build. Dude really did stand still for 6 seconds to aim his gun
To be fair that thing was probably hard as hell for him to figure out how to use it
Wait the hidden blade gun?
That smooth bore musket bullet too, shit swerved over longer distances
In Brotherhood it takes like 2-3 seconds
@@ChronoBolt it is hard to aim if your arm is not shaky
ok who else was caught off guard by "a knife, NO!"
I did laugh pretty hard
It’s a reference to a video where a mom asks her little son (like 4 years old) “what’s that you got?” As he runs around, and he yells “A knife!” as he holds it up, and she yells “NO!”
@@jonathanrich9281 I'm completely aware of the reference, hence why I was caught off guard 🙄
This isn't how I remember Part 5: Golden Wind...
Bruno doesn't in io.....
Yet it isn't inaccurate with a man using the Underworld to his benefit and improving it
So, I have a homebrewed weapon specifically called the hidden blade, and it does 1 damage plus dexterity modifier with the special effect that when the blade is concealed it can be used to deliver a surprise attack provided the enemy doesn't know you have it regardless of whether you are actually attack from stealth. Once you use the blade all enemies that can see you know you have the hidden blade preventing you from using it on them, but the hidden blade is still useful for those rogues looking to get off another surprise attack and is especially useful for assassin rogues who can now land two critical sneak attacks.
I liked this comment.
*steb with Sneak attack* "AH- You STABBED me! Why did you STAB ME?!"
"Oh, sorry, it was an accident!"
"I think I need to go to an apotheca-" *steb in back again* "AGH! T-TWICE?! You stabbed me TWICE?"
"At least you were expecting it this time, or it could have been way worse."
I was waiting for the part where Tulok trolled us again with "I'm making an assassin without the assassin class, but hear me out", lol. Not this time, I suppose. :P
I mean, Assassinate is really the feat you need to build an assassin. It's the best way to instakill a surprised ennemy
I was expecting Thief Rogue because I literally forgot about Assassin. It's just that bad 🤷♂️
@@MyRegularNameWasTaken yeah all that massive damage is underpowered af
@@DerexWolfheart
Oh but it's very nice
On the first turn
Since in the next ones you won't be using any of the features
@@Luan-st2gb If u dont kill the target on the first hit, then u failed the assassination. assassins dont just keep attacking over and over, they hit once and get the fuck out of dodge. if that playstyle doesnt work with ur party, then dont play it, but to say its a bad class is just not understanding what the subclass is or how to use it.
Altaïr: assassin rogue
Ezio: dex fighter
Connor: ranger
Edward: swashbuckler
Haytham Kenway: few levels of bard, because his tongue is as sharp as his blade.
I would love to play as Edward Kenway in D&D.
@@therealArchmageTeslar He's been my favorite too, mostly because of his attitude; where pretty much every other assassin is "I must get vengeance!", his is "Lets get rich, and if we can't get rich, get wasted."
@@SH-qs7ee Well, that's because Edward Kenway was more pirate than Assassin. He stumbled onto the Templars and Assassins by, mere chance, did essentially whatever he pleased to get rich, and joined the Assassins because theyhad a common goal.
I know so many people that say Black Flag was the best AC game, and every time I hear it, I just know they have a fancy for pirates. I also notice that they never say Rogue is their favorite, because fuck Rogue for destroying Adawale's character. That's not what I hear people say, just my personal opinion. Rogue had a great plot and conflict, but it's butchering of past characters really did a number on the game for me personally. Then again, Ubisoft did a fine job of that outside of the main series anyway.
I still need to get through Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, but even just having partially played Origins, I can really feel the "Assassin's Creed games where you still had to be an assassin" holding true. Black Flag was the last game in the series that felt true to what the game started as. Rogue went a little too Edgelord, but it was nice to see the Order in a more negative light. The first person gameplay for these games really sucked the fun out of them though when you weren't in the Animus. Unity and Syndicate were okay, but once Ubisoft started diving into the world of microtransactions, you could tell the entire thing was going to collapse. Then you have Origins, which feels like a completely different franchised game from a completely different company. I don't care about the time period, it just doesn't play like an Assassin's Creed game, and I've only heard worse things about Odyssey.
So I can really understand why so many people like Black Flag. It was the end of an era for the franchise, but when people say it was the best game? Pirate fanatic. I haven't even met someone who's played all of the games pre-ACIV that's said Black Flag is better. How could you when AC2 and Brotherhood are both RIGHT THERE? Nothing against Edward Kenway as a character. I actually really love his character and story, how his greed led to the loss of everyone he loved. It's an amazing character arc that was tied off perfectly (in-game). I just think too many people take their love for the pirate and turn that into "Black Flag is the best" by default, which just simply isn't true.
Anyway, sorry about the ramble. This got off topic in so many ways.
what about Bayek and Eivor?
Assassin's Creed will always have a special place in my childhood! I grew up on some of those games! Speaking of growing... I don't have a green thumb but I have grown a huge support for an Anderson Cooper build! With so much support you gotta make it!
The drastic variety of subtlety in these hints is giving me vertigo. How can I learn this power?
Swamp thing?
Longshot, but given the references to growing up and the color green, it _could_ be Peter Pan
@@verdragon5591 Already been done. That was one of the early builds.
So I have to wonder.... If Tulok DOES ever make an Anderson Cooper build, which probably will not happen, what will you request afterwards Mason?
First you do the grabby, then you do the stabby
It's stabby time!!!
@@Nubbletech hell yeah
grappler feat gives adv on attacks when grappling :3
I love Tulok videos. I never played Assassin's Creed or DND. I'm just here for the algorithm.
I love the Kensei as a kind of "7-10 levels makes for a perfect generic main character base" class.
Aight, I legit laughed at “DC, Duh-ssassins Creed”
Dat ssass tho.
Me AC fan: Wait doesn't Ezio wear armor?
Me optimizer: *holding blade "they don't need to know that"
SAME! Ezio could have anywhere from no armor to heavy armor and still be efficent in battle, but the armor was critical to staying upright. I didn't hunt down every Scroll of Romulus for nothing, dammit!
Genuinely surprised it took this long to do an Ezio build.
Do talion from shadow of war. He’s an awesome character.
Me: Sees the ad for Surfshark.
Also Me: Tulok, can we get Coraline in D&D?
I must be watching too many of your videos, during that intro I was saying to myself "you already made Mario" seconds before "You already made Mario" showed up. Keep up the good work.
Solid build as always. Still I have the sinking feeling I'm the only viewer who hasn't played any of the Assassin's Creed games.
Honestly for the rogue levels I would have expected thief
Fast hands, second story work, supreme sneak
Hell if it was 13 rogue/7 monk then also would have had use magical device
Edit: clarification on use magical device: the apple.
Hey look, a guy who has a brotherhood of sorts, hangs out with cool cats and is quick and nimble when he needs to be!
Uncle Iroh build please.
Then Sokka and Suki next! Then Korra after that!
@@chazjohannsen sokka is kind of boring
@@gavinlopez6258 that's just your own personal, incorrect opinion.
Sokka was a non-bender who regularly made himself useful due to his skills and intelligence. Sokka was smart and tactical enough to come up with most of the Fire Nation invasion plan. He just flubbed on explaining.
We just only ever saw Sokka as a teen and not as an adult, when all the teen angst would be gone.
@@u.s.s.chucklefucker1657 No I mean as a build. I love the character. It would just be a battlemaster fighter in my belief
@@gavinlopez6258 fair
Any chance of an Aloy from Horizon zero dawn build? I'd love to see that
ALOY!!!!!
Aloy is a difficult one as at first she seems pretty much pure Ranger, but while that would give you her skills with a bow and some of her arrows it wouldn't give you her traps/explosives nor the ability to charm monsters (robots). I'd say the most straightforward way is to go Ranger (Hunter or Gloom Stalker) 11 / Druid (Circle of the Land - Grassland) 9. This gives you the ability to take up to fifth level Druid spells and up to third level Ranger Spells (which gives you the arrows). You lose out on some class features for Ranger, but the spells should more than make up the difference.
Really, I'd love to include some Rogue to give Uncanny Dodge and Evasion, or else go up to the 15th level of Ranger (Hunter) to grab one of those, but there's no real place to shove those levels without losing out on more important things. That being said, you could try to piece together a build for Aloy that's Ranger/Rogue and uses an Alchemist's Kit to craft her traps and arrows. You'd have to get the DM on board, though.
@@caeligocielo5634 Maybe some sort of Ranger/Artificer? Not a common multiclass, but one that I've never thought more appropriate.
Haven’t seen it yet. Guessing assassin/kensei monk
Edit: just occurred to me probably some fighter levels too
Ezio is one of those characters who is hard to do right cause he can do most things so you have to pick and choose. Monk and Rouge make sense, obviously, but some fighter would have worked great to. He is good with pretty much all weapons ( Heavy ones to), does wear armor and disarms people and takes their weapons (Battlemaster maybe). Also he is Charming as hell.
I'd actually really like to see a Connor build, feels like the right opportunity for ranger.
Talion/Celebrimbor from Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War
"Wait, are kabobs Italian?**Aggressive typing**" made me laugh more than it ought to have. A fun looking build! TY Tulok!
Hmmmm, Assassin's Creed isn't very historically accurate, is it? We need a way to learn actual history. Why not call in Ms. Valerie Frizzle? She'd make a good build.
Dude, you can't just ask the man to build someone as godly as Ms. Frizzle! She isn't a character, she's a DnD deity.
Then again, if Tulok ever does some homebrew, I'd like to see that.
I'm going to assume artificer wizard multiclass with enlarge/reduce for not only the class' size but also to change the bus size. That's the only thing I can think of but I think tulok can do better lol
@@stevieraylevin5295 as well as flying the bus, swimming the bus, traveling through a vacuum at lightspeed, and time travel. She's either a Goddess, celestial, demon, archery or Timelord, none of which are playable races.
Despite this being a solid build overall, i don't think it represents Ezio very well. He wears armor, uses heavier weapons, and his unnarmed strikes are pretty much on the "brute streetfighter" side, rather than at the "skilled martial artist".
If i were to make him in DnD, I would:
1-Trade strength for either wisdom or inteligence (he wasn't good on the whole "self-control thing" up until his late 30s, and wasn't quite fond of book smarts).
2-Pick 6 levels in fighter (with either mariner or unnarmed fighting as the fighting style) with battle master with defensive manouvers or samurai as the subclass.
3-keep the rogue assassin levels.
That leaves you with 6 ASIs. I'd use 2 to buy either fighting initiate to get mariner as a fighting style pretty early on (since he needs to climb), or the atlethe fest, that practicly gives you a climbing speed. Tulok didn't, but I'd also buy the mobile feat (since, you know... The guy's mobile). The 4 remaining could see some use capping dexterity and the second higuest stat (now strength), or to increase constituition and wisdom (for he gets sturdier and more patient as he gets older, and the stat increase could symbolize that).
Please make a Terry Bogard video. I really want to go BUSTER WOLF on some orcs.
Sun Soul Monk, attack with a Stunning Strike, then Searing Arc Strike; that should do it.
Personally, I would have gone with a thief rogue. I know that the series is *Assassin's* Creed but in gameplay you seem to do more parkour than anything else. Just my take. Build is solid. Rogue and monk do tend to compliment each other.
I mean Monk gots some pretty good Parkour skills too
Ezio has the perceptive eye of an eagle and can spot targets for miles. Sun Wukong has eyes that can spot shapeshifters and the true forms of demons. A build for him would be great!
There are three ways that I can think of to get that sort of sight: the sixth level spell True Seeing, the level fifteen Eldritch Invocation Witch Sight (most accurate), and the Inquisitor Rogue's level 13 ability Unerring Eye (least accurate). Personally, I would go for the Rogue as the rest of Sun Wukong's levels would have to be in Monk (probably Kensei as that quarterstaff is definitely magical). As for race you could reasonably go for Variant Human, Scourge Aasimar (too stretch it a little), or Bugbear if you're going the monkey Wukong route (which would be sick combat-wise).
@@caeligocielo5634 "the monkey Wukong route" you say, as if there are any other ways to go for Wukong! If he isn't a monkey, what is he!? (I mean, I can see building him as a human or Aasimar, but either way, you gotta say he's a monkey, whatever he technically is)
Funnily enough the staff isn’t magical, it’s just a really fucking heavy support pillar from a water dragons house that said dragon made smaller, but just as heavy.
@@cameronhumphreys2309 I think, most technically, it's a water level measuring stick that can change its' dimensions, but also that.
Damn, that Segway into SurfShark though. xD I was like "Why is his keyboard framed in the shot this obviously? ... Ah, there it is. lol."
Im surprise that didn’t pick up Piercer feat since this would give even more damage and it basically have Great Weapon Fighting as part of it so can guarantee damage if you roll low
I really need to see some artwork of what Waezio looks like.
You can actually use sneak attack once per turn. So any turn of yours you can use sneak attack. Like opportunity to attack stocks be a turn in itself and give sneak attack in 5e.
That was the most SHAMELESS segue ever for an advertisement. Hilarious!
Just gotta rep-Italians do have Kebabs (Spiedini), and they kick ass.
The last joke about your jokes landing was amazing. Really good work like always Tulok.
I wonder how much of this would be changed to be Kassandra (AC: Odyssey). Maybe replace Observant with Magic Initiate for 'Find Familiar'?
Ah yes, my favorite assassin: Elmo Audible the Furry
Ah yes back when Assassin's Creed was about Assassins... I miss shooting someone in the head and them dying not ticking away at a hp bar
I instantly remember that little boy running with that knife as soon as tulok made that joke.
"Imagine being able to assassinate ghosts, what a flex"
DO I HEAR A KAYA BUILD?
Unrelated MTG reference: I played Chainer as an echo knight/warlock! Do mtg character builds plz
@@jeremylackey6587 i play a 4 jace pure blue deck.
@@Dany-ww2lk You're the worst and I approve.
Please do a talion build from shadow of mordor
rogue is the obvious choice here, but i feel like hes going to pick thief over assassin. just because of how second story work is really effective here!
edit: the answer was right in front of me....
Oh boy. A new build to use.
Thanks Tulok
I have no real opinion on Assassin's Creed, but there is one assassin I'd love to see a build for: Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes.
I know you can only suggest characters by being a patron, just bumping the algorithm.
Hey Tulok,
At long last, I get to feed the algorithms with an irate comment. Normally, I either agree with you or concede that you made the better call. This is one of those rare occasions where I disagree with you on a point. That point is infiltration Expert.
Comparing it a disguise kit is like comparing a fire engine hose to a squirt gun; the former makes you look different, the latter creates an entire identity. There are no rolls involved, so the NPCs /will/ believe that you are who you say who are unless you give them a reason to think you aren't, and a cool DM will let you include whatever in-universe information you need to pretend to be a noble, a merchant, a bartender etc. in your seven day prep time.
Which, by the time, can happen as quickly as the DM saying, "seven days later". The other players give a quick summary of what their characters were doing, if they want, and then you can get right to using your new identity to infiltrate whatever place/group/etc. the party needs to infiltrate. You can even tell guards "they (the rest of the party) are with me", and they could let you all pass.
So montage over the research, sneak into the place, kill the target (or whatever) and then leave. If any blame falls, then it falls on your fake identity. You can continue using this identity for the rest of campaign, if you want.
It's certainly a niche ability, but it is not a useless one.
There! Algorithm fed.
Fun fact: I worked up an Ed Kenway build that combined assassin with bard. Ended up looking like a cross between your Puss'n'Boots and Batman builds. >.>
I’d kill for you to make Edward kenway from black flag
Swashbuckler Rogue.
That's about it hahaha
My favorite Assassin is and always will be: Adewale from Freedom's Cry and Rogue
Didn't like him in Black Flag then?
6:08 I'm guessing you didn't know of the major shipwreck when you mentioned Costa Cruises right Tulok?
I would like to see a character build of the emperor of mankind from warhammer 40k or any of the primarchs
Laughed harder than I should have at Wah-Ezio 😂
Way to make another great video
Phil
Hunh. I'd have figured Rogue/Fighter seeing as how Ezio DOES use heavy weapons AND armor.
I’m betting on a thief/samurai build for Ezio.
EDIT: What a fool I was. I forgot about the hay piles.
People are probably gonna be angry he suggested an aarakocra as a race, but honestly I'm just imagining Ezio bomber-swooping down, silting their throats, and flying away screaming "Caw caw bitch!"
I would definitely play an aarakocra assassin. In fact that may be my next D&D character. :)
Damn this is cool bro. It ain’t Twilight Sparkle tho.
I honestly would go thief over the obvious assassin, second story work covers improved movement from monk, grab Fighting Intiate for unarmed fighting which is basically same as being an 11th level monk as far as punching goes, and you still get all the skill bonuses, the only issue is not inately having magic weapons, but use magic device fits well with controling the apple of edan. Not saying this is bad but i think straight thief hits a lot of the same boxes.
(Edit: 3 levels of monk for Agile Parry is still a great idea though)
I really like assassins creed
Also I feel like this could be better maybe just be a race with a climbing speed then go like monk 5 get go rogue until you get to level 7 or so then go fighter for the rest because Ezio is a really good fighter
3.5 had the hidden blades in a supplemental book. Arm blades, boot blades, elbow blades, spring loaded wrist arrow launchers. Also, imagine playing as a Changeling in lieu of a human.
I can't believe Assassin's Creed: Unity AND Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall and The Bridgmore Witches both copied off of D&D 3.5e 😔
I would have choosen shadow monk, darkness for smoke bombs and more without trace is just more sneaky
my only complaint about this build is that assassin is a trash archetype made up of situational powers and a key defining feature that stops working after the first round of combat. but hey, Ezio is an ASSASSIN from ASSASSINS creed so i cant blame you. Though i would have swapped the archetype for arcane trickster to fill out Ezio's gadgets and tools.
grab true-strike for the meme and fire-bolt for his hidden wrist pistol, illusory script for the writing and stuff you can see with eagle vision, disguise self for his ability to instantly blend into a crowd despite being the most uniquely dressed person in renaissance Italy, and expeditious retreat for obvious reasons. for levels 4 and 7 take Tasha's hideous laughter for one of your poisons, and Nystul's Magic Aura for some next level forged documents. when you get a non restricted spell at level 8 grab fog cloud, because smoke bombs. level 10 grab blur for how good at dodges and parries Ezio is, and at level 11... i dunno take mirror image? similar excuse as blur but also because he can summon back up assassins in later games. though, to be honest, dropping Nystul's for shadow-blade, expeditious retreat for shield, and fog cloud for spider climb would just make for a stronger build that uses their week int saves less.
Why when Tulok combines monk and rogue never goes 14/6 so evation doesn't stack?
At least for this time, he wanted to run up walls since he dumped Str and Ezio is really good at climbing
For a man with so much perception, when he was a young man he had liberty but did not know it, time but did not see it, love but did not feel it. Too bad Mario never told him to just shut up and grind out the levels lol
Never considered this class pair. I might make this for my next campaign
3:56: A
Me, playing Brotherhood using a mace ;-;
The best weapons to use in both ACII and AC:Brotherhood are daggers, first for the sweet sweet counterattack, and second for the sweet sweet counter-killstreaks
He knows that enzio uses heavy armour right? (Or at least medium), and he uses all kinds of weapons, including two-handed weapons, right?
Getting the poisoner feat is also kind of an empty level. Sure, you can ignore resistance to poison damage, and there are some pretty powerful poisons in the DMG if you convince your party to have a little hunting adventure. (Purple worm)
But, the problem is, there are actually very few creatures resistent to poison, most of them are inmune to it, meaning you will do absolutely nothing with it. It would be better to get tough to get a little bit more HP probably.
And here I figured a fallen assimar sun soul sorc/lock build. Why? Because you seem to have a talent for creating builds I never would have thought of and somehow having them make sense! Just kidding, rogue/monk was a pretty obvious and awesome choice.
Hm so I'm not totally sure about a prediction for this. If it's just Ezio than mostly/full assassin rogue is the obvious choice, but I could also see some college of spirits bard for some "accessing the memories of ancestors" action
Think that would be good for desmond honestly. Because of the bleeding effect
Tulok. I have a challenge for you. Build inspector gadget!!!!!!!
That's right UA-cam, Ezio is definitely from Dark Souls... definitely...
My group just had a busted monk build so I may have to hold off on using this for my dm's sanity's sake.
So would Connor Kenway be the same thing but instead of Assassin archetype he would be Scout archetype?
Hey, I personally like your jokes. :) Algorithm, algorithm.
This is awesome! I’ll have to try it out some time!
Now... how do we build Morrigan from Dragon Age Origins?
No one:
UA-cam: Ah yes that's Dark souls
Assassin's Creed 2, the Dark Souls of Assassin's Creeds. Apparently.
Another cool way of doing hidden blade is having the soulblade rogue subclass. I know not getting the assassin while playing an assassin's creed character seems strange but a blade that come out of your hands/sleeves and leave minor signs of injury seems pretty in character.
Psionic Energy Die can also bolster Perception and Stealth checks, you can add them to your attack rolls with Psi blades if you miss and even teleport and cast Message without casting Message.
I was wondering if you was going to do an Assassin's Creed build. I was also wondering if you're a Persian Prince
"Slipperier than al dente linguini" - a wet noodle? LOL well done
Jokes on Tulok I watch his videos regardless if I played the game it's based around or not
You’re absolutelyy right 😈
I was unsure of the Monk dip but you worked in Leaps of Faith and aerial assassinations so that's awesome. Can't wait for the Ranger flavor Connor down the line

UNCONVENTIONAL OPENING I FEAR THE NEW AND UNIQUE *hiss*
You made another variant human?
Rabble! rabble, rabble, rabble :0
ahh of course description Ezio from dark souls of course.
So to compensate the low HP you need high AC in order to do it. Interesting approach though I don't think it would work out in the end. For instants how are you suppose to deal with monsterous bosses?
Air Assassination, after spending most of the fight climbing up high enough to get the drop on them
