Basim Ibn Ishaq is a Legendary Force affinity champion from the Sacred Order faction, introduced through the Assassin's Creed x Raid: Shadow Legends collaboration alongside Ezio. He is a scaling damage dealer whose kit rewards heavy buff and debuff stacking while cycling into a self-applied Perfect Veil for extra power.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Scaling Burst & Extra Turns: His A3, Winds Of Baghdad, double-hits a single enemy for 5% more damage per buff and debuff on himself and the target (up to 100% total), then places Perfect Veil on himself for 3 turns and grants an Extra Turn, letting him chain straight into his A2 or A1.
Veil-Enhanced Control: His A2, Up In Smoke, is an AoE attack that ignores 15% DEF normally, rising to 30% while veiled, and places Block Active Skills with a 75% base chance that becomes guaranteed once booked. While veiled this debuff also ignores Block Debuffs, and his A1 gains a guaranteed chance to place Weaken and spread a random debuff to all enemies.
Assassin Synergy: His passive, Everything Is Permitted, deals bonus true damage whenever any Assassin drops an enemy below 25% HP, while Masterful Thief steals a buff and returns a debuff to attackers, ignoring Polymorph.
Key Weaknesses
Setup-Dependent: Basim's ceiling relies on having buffs and debuffs already stacked and on landing his Extra Turn cycle; without that setup or without his cooldowns booked, his damage and control both fall off considerably.
With strong ratings across Arena, Dragon, Fire Knight, and Ice Golem, Basim fits well as a versatile damage-and-control Assassin across Arena and most Doom Tower content.
