I used to love Assassination, a lot of set up, but I real Assassins Creed feel to it with a backstory to match would really take you into a moment. After watching shows such as 'Money Heist', I'm now entirely prepared to commit my own heist, and what better than an arcane trickster rogue with all those delicious spells to trick people into helping me out!
I went with trickster because it's the best roguish archetype for sure. Everything about it supports being sneaky in ways just pure skill can't do (no matter how good you are, the trickster's got an invisible floating hand). Swashbuckler is good, but I don't really think it's as roguish an archetype as the others. It honestly feels more like an agile fighter in combat.
Guys, there is basically like, no comparison. Swashbuckler gives you advantage on almost all melee attacks. Just make sure everyone else is fighting their own battle. Seriously though, that's just combat-based. My favourite would be either arcane trickster or the options in Tasha's cauldron.

That's not true at all. The L17 ability they have is 1/Short Rest, and that's the only ability they have giving advantage on any melee attacks.
I believe he confused the Rakish Audacity's granting sneak attack with the normal requirement for a sneak attack. Being able to confirm sneak attacks every round in a nice portion of melee situations (Teammates near you? Flanking, advantage! One on One? Rakish Audacity, advantage!) is still a highly potent ability though.

It's ok Ranger, you'll always be cool to me.. Unless druid gets another use for its wild shape charges.

Arcane Trickster.

I went with thief. Fast hands is good and thief's reflexes are good. Abilities in between enhance what I do.
Almost went with arcane trickster for the spell support.
