Harlequin
- "Behind the gaudy costume and twisted smile lies the soul of a merciless assassin. You call yourself the Harlequin. Your victims will call you a walking nightmare."
- ―GameStop

Sacrifical Strike
From behind, the Harlequin impales his twin blades into his target's neck, causing them to go limp. The body then falls to the ground as he withdraws the daggers.

More is Merrier
The Harlequin pushes his target down and stabs their chest maniacally several times. This can be performed running at or jumping on a target.(as shown in the video below at 0:55).
