A good skill order would be to Dash up to the hero and then hit them with Demoralizing Blow. If they're low on health after that (say, under 400) turn on Keen Edge and just auto attack them to death. If not, use Pilfer and Dash away again. If you get a potion of Invisibility or Assassin's Flask, use that instead of Dashing away.

A swordsman whose body has been severely deformed by a rare disease, he has been on a constant journey to find a way to heal his body.
The Mystic Swashbuckler is a great hero for chasing heroes, but is also capable of quickly killing units. A good skill order would be to Dash up to the hero and then hit them with Demoralizing Blow. If they're low on health after that (say, under 400) turn on Keen Edge and just auto attack them to death. If not, use Pilfer and Dash away again. If you get a potion of Invisibility or Assassin's Flask, use that instead of Dashing away. Then, once Demoralizing Blow has cooled down, hit them again (or auto attack them first if you got Assassin's) and they (should) either start running, or be dead. If they run, Dash up to them (preferably through them for the extra damage) and keep auto attacking till they die, reach a base, or Demoralizing Blow is cooled down again.
