The Ash of War: Assassin's Gambit is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Occult affinity and the Assassin's Gambit skill. It shows up mid-run, in Volcano Manor.
Assassin's Gambit has the wielder slit a hand for a small HP cost and in return become nearly invisible with completely silent footsteps for 30 seconds. Enemies have a much shorter sight range against the wielder, and at a distance the body is almost impossible to spot. In PvP it also shortens the range at which other players can lock on. It suits stealth play, invaders and anyone who wants to slip past dangerous areas or set up backstabs.
Stats
It grants the Occult affinity and a Whetblade can switch it to Standard, Heavy, Keen, Quality, Poison or Blood. The skill costs 5 FP. It fits Dagger, Throwing Blade, Straight Sword, Light Greatsword, Thrusting Sword, Katana and Twinblade.

Skill
Activate it out of sight, since the self-inflicted wound makes no sound that enemies can hear. The buff stays active after switching weapons, so it can sit on a spare weapon slot and be cast before swapping back to the main armament. It is strongest for sneaking through crowded zones and opening fights with critical hits, and weak in an open brawl where enemies are already aggroed.
