Ankle Assassin

To test Ankle Assassin, we automated one of Koza's dribble sequences and used a modded controller to record the amount of light and heavy stuns against a defender with an 80 Per. Def. We did this on HoF difficulty and attempted the same combo 200 times, which was an escape, escape, and then a snatch back. We did this at each badge level and without the badge.

Also, we performed another test to see if having a higher Perimeter Defense rating could negate some of the effects of Ankle Assassin. We tested Ankle Assassin at the Legend level against four different levels of Perimeter Defense.

Light Stun % :

• Legend = 31%
• HoF = 29%
• Gold = 28%
• Silver = 23.5%
• Bronze = 20%

In terms of Light Stuns, the Bronze and Silver levels provide a decent boost. Gold is the sweet spot.

Heavy Stun % :

• Legend = 4.5%
• HoF = 3.5%
• Gold = 3.5%
• Silver = 2%
• Bronze = 1.5%

As for Heavy Stuns, they are more noticeable so the percentages will be much lower. Gold is the sweet spot if you are actively trying to break a lot of ankles. Having Silver or less is still pretty effective in the Park, Theater and Rec.

Per. Def. vs Legend Ankle Assassin:

• 25 Per. Def. = 39% Any Stun
• 50 Per. Def. = 35% Any Stun
• 75 Per. Def. = 33.5% Any Stun
• 99 Per. Def. = 28% Any Stun

Weaker defenders are significantly more vulnerable to Ankle Assassin. Even at a 75 Per. Def. there isn't much improvement from a 25 Per. Def. Elite defenders with 99 Per. Def. saw far less stun percentages overall. If you find yourself getting stunned often, you may need more Per. Def. The On-Ball Menace badge had no affect on Ankle Assassin frequency.
