It does! The biggest difference being, Unseen Form costs 20 FP to use VS Assassin's Gambit 5 FP. UF doesn't hurt you though. So for an INT-based build, you could make that spell work!

IMO, the AG + Unseen Form interaction is only a funny novelty. It's two-fold, having 100% anti-lock-on is hilarious but unless you're able to win the fight in that short amount of time, you're going to have to rebuff yourself once both the spell and AoW wear out. What's more, you have to use up 25 FP each time (using AG and UF together), for less than 30 seconds of use (because you have to stack both buffs, losing yourself some precious seconds between them), requiring 16 INT (for Unseen Form), and having to have two different pieces of equipment on you at all times (a blade for AG AND a staff to cast UF). Going with Unseen Form (let alone trying to combine the two) is not something I recommend for every invader, unless you're playing a Int-focused build or hybrid. If y'all also enjoy invading at a high RL, like 200+ or even in the 301 bracket, maybe bringing the two would be a no-brainer because you ought to have the points to just have them whenever you want. But at a basic foundation, only using Assassin's Gambit and breaking players' lock-on goes a long way.

@@jmnthem Overall I'd agree, but I'd still rank it a bit more than just a funny novelty. The majority of players do *not* know how to effectively free-aim in melee combat, meaning they'll rarely ever get in more than a hit or two for those ~25 seconds (at least, in my experience). And it works even better on an int-caster build, as no matter how they choose to approach you, they'll still be massively disadvantaged, *and* you'll have Miriam's Vanishing to really fuck with their heads. It's a very niche tool, yes, but when used in the correct context it can completely shut down the majority of offensive pushes. It's sort of in a similar spot to how Comet Azur ranks in PvE, now that I'm thinking about it - it isn't consistently strong by any means, and you have to actively build around it to get the most out of it... but when it DOES work, it means victory.

@ one more diff is that unseen form does not silence footsteps, while assassins gambit does.
