'''Role''': Mobile Offense

Long War Assaults are quite similar to vanilla Assaults. They are more mobile than [[Infantry (Long War)|Infantry]] while packing less firepower, swapping '''Light 'Em Up''' for '''Run & Gun'''. Due to the existence of the Infantry class that excels at mid-range combat with rifles, Assaults tend to equip shotguns and use their mobility to engage at close range, though using them as a medium range flanker with an assault rifle is also viable.

Assaults are fairly simple soldiers, and the choice in their build tends to be a simple one of offense vs defense at each rank, with some mobility thrown in. A role-changing perk however is '''Lightning Reflexes''', allowing them to draw out overwatch fire much like a Scout can, though they have to wait until Master Sergeant to do it and it can't be combined with the highly useful '''Resilience''' perk. Given some aliens in Long War have Opportunist, this makes absorbing overwatch with an Assault still quite dangerous, unless tough enough to absorb a crit.

Assaults make very good covert operatives. They have high base HP, allowing them to survive better without armor, '''Lightning Reflexes''' to not be hit by overwatch when running to comm arrays, and they can use '''Run & Gun''' to hack arrays on the same turn after dashing.
