The Thief is a melee class that wields two daggers. His basic attack is a 180 degree dagger slash. The Thief has a slowed movement rate while attacking. With a correctly timed slash, the dagger attack can also parry projectiles (but not traps). His first ability is Fan of Knives, which throws knives in front of him and can pass through multiple enemies. A unique trait to the Thief, his basic attack strikes twice each time the attack button is pressed. So if his damage is 5, each knife does 5 damage for a total of 10 if both strikes hit.
