Dash
The Dash is, well, a dash. You can Dash in any direction.

Frenzy

Lawbreakers – Assassin Guide
In other games, the highly mobile, offensive characters are meant to slay around the objective and thin out the enemy before they reach the goal. However, the Assassin in Lawbreakers is quite capable of hanging out in the objective.
The life steal properties of the Arc Blades make it easier to take on multiple enemies, and the Flux Blast is meant to frustrate enemies trying to cap a point. Your frenzy ability is also great in a crowded room, so dash in and activate it.
Once you have an objective room cleared, the Assassin can actually do a good job of holding the space with the Romerus Shotgun. Use the single shot mode to spray down tight hallways. The high rate of fire and crazy fast reload times of the Romerus will force enemies to find a new way in. If the enemy does manage to find a way past your Romerus, well you want them close to your Arc Blades anyway.
