Assault attacks are stealth takedowns you can do when the enemies are not in an alerted state.
These can be done when directly above the enemy or when right behind the enemy.
Alfie will launch her rear directly to the enemy head and with her royal behind she can silently eliminate the target through asphyxiation. I'm also considering adding sword stabs too, but those wouldn't be silent and would be able to alert other enemies.
These will be able to be used on enemies that will be roaming around. As of now my games had only had enemies coming in waves and for this reason it made sense they always were alerted by you, but now some enemies will be just there and those can be taken down like this if you don't want to fight.
I do want to add stealth missions, but I know that people don't usually like them, so the plan is to make a few main missions that can be done with stealth, but always give you the option of doing them with regular combat. And some sidequests might have mandatory stealth.
A video of the assault attacks is available on the blessing-of-the-princess discord server.
