The Legend of Assassin is the 55th level in Dancing Line.

Soundtrack[]

The soundtrack takes heavy influence by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine OST, especially from the track named Wine Wars.

The BPM is 180 for the entire song.

Difficulty[]

  • The camera is shaky, be careful with it.
    • Be careful with the camera movement too; the camera path is abnormally designed, causing it to do things like going close to the ground.
  • At 15%, there are many paths that seem easier ones than the one following the soundtrack. These are traps, focus on the rhythm.
  • The roads are very small. Missing a tap could make you lose.
  • There are many “precision falls”, where tapping too late could cause you to lose.
  • The hitboxes are very large.
  • Some smartphones will experience lag at the end because of falling debris and camera shake.
  • Due to spam taps, this level most likely breaks your fingers

Note for gems[]

Here is how to get the gem in 10%: XX XXX XX X X (rhythm for tapping) (reach the gem instead of following the music!)

Due to quick taps and correct rhythm, the player may get 10 gems get instead of 2. They might have 2 gems due to restarting at the checkpoints. Note: The 2-Gem path would probably be the first difficulty listed as there are many “mandatory” gems that would cause you to fail if you tried not to get them. In order to finish with two gems, you would have to start over from checkpoints.

Strategy[]

  • Focus on the road, and don't mind the obstacles.
  • Try not to focus on the camera. The shaky camera is one of the main difficulties, but don't mind it.
  • There is one tricky route to get a gem, which starts within the first 20%
  • In the end, the level becomes foggy, so the path ahead is not easily seen. Focus on the rhythm here.
  • There are many quick taps. At these places, focus on the rhythm and tap to the beat. Practice quick tapping on levels with wide roads like The Spring.

Alternative Strategy[]

This level isn't very hard if you use this strategy.

  • Prepare to play the level by watching tutorials. While the tutorial is playing, follow the taps exactly as they are in the video.
  • After you fall from the final rock from the Golem part, onto the brown dirt, there are a series of quick taps between wooden stakes, and water.
    • For this part practice tapping in threes (1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3)
    • The beat (starting from the first tap on the brown land) is: 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 7 (3 = 1-2-3)
  • After that a series of seemingly random taps occur.
    • Focus on the path more than the music.
    • Similar to before with the multiple tapping, after the last tap from the previous part, the beat is: 1 2 1 1 2 2 5 1 2 2 1 1 2 5. A few are close together, and could be considered 3, but listen to the soundtrack, and memorize the pattern.
  • When you get to the long lengths of spam taps, Ground Siege, really, the only way to get past is to tap to the beat.
    • The spam taps are usually 13 taps long with a few intermediate taps between.
    • Right after the last beat from before, you tap once more, then you start:
    • The beat goes: 13 spam, 2 long, 13 spam, 1 long, 13 spam, 1 long, 13 spam, *break, 13 spam, 2 long, 13 spam, 3 spam, 13 spam, 2 long.
    • The final set of spam tapping could be 17 continuous taps ending with the final beat before going into the soft music of the "Fountain" section, or by timing it right, could be 15.
  • The Fountain section is a bit tricky but, it makes it easier if you look at the taps in 2 alternating sections.
    • The beat is 3 1 3 1 1 1 5 1 (3 taps to intense beats) 3 1 1 3 1 1 5 1 1 *4 (the 4th tap is the first tap of the next pattern.
  • The final patter is repeated 4 times with breaks in between [1 1 3 2 1 (break) 1].
    • The beat is [1* 1 3 2 1 1] 2 1 1 1 [1 1 3 2 1 1] 3 3 [1 1 3 2 1 1] 1 2 1 1 1 [1 1 3 2 1].

Trivia[]

  • On August 27th, 2018, Dancing Line's YouTube channel uploaded a music teaser for this level.

  • This is the fifth level to have humans/humanoids appearing, the others being All About Us, The Christmas Eve, The Faded, The Spring Festival and The Hip-Hop Evolution.
    • At the end, a human figure (which appears to be a armoured king) bows.
  • If you play the level with the no fog glitch, you will see that the king was sitting down, and then stands up to bow to the line.
