Assassinate

During its first turn, Laysa has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn. Any hit Laysa scores against a Surprise creature is a critical hit.

Evasion

If Laysa is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, Laysa instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn)

Laysa deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of Laysa that isn't incapacitated and Laysa doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
