The League of Assassins Adept Knives is a piece of Legendary (5-Star) Gear, evolved from the Epic (4-Star) gear, League of Assassins Throwing Knives. The unevolved version can be obtained from the Last Laugh minigame in Survivor Mode. It is part of the League of Assassins Set (along with the Blade and the Hood) which gains additional properties if 2 or 3 pieces are equipped to the same character.
It is considered to be the rarest piece of the set.

Mechanics[]
SP1 damage boost[]
The % damage boost is based on special's minimum damage, regardless players' performances on its mini-games. So if players achieve either 100% or 200% on the mini-game, the bonus boosted damage is still the same. It stacks with other sources of special attack damage boost.
Area effect damage[]
- (Main article: Area Effect)
Strategy[]
A powerful, if not the best gear for any SP1 specialist. It is the gear that has the highest power generation boost in the game, tied with the Heart of Darkness. It also greatly boosts SP1 damage, making it a real threat in the hands of those like Deathstroke/Arkham Origins or Sinestro/Antimatter. When combined with The Ibistick, it helps the user to neutralize Killer Frost/Prime's passive and grants a huge damage boost to SP1 by 70%!
However, the most dangerous effect of this gear (especially in MP) is its huge area effect damage, mostly used for SP1 "nuke" builds. Characters that have extremely dangerous SP1s such as Bane/Luchador or Batgirl/Arkham Knight work wonders with the LoA Adept Knives (especially with the Cloak of Destiny and another piece of gear that magnifies SP1 damage such as the LexCorp Gauntlets V2), allowing them to possibly nuke the first opponent and then reduce the other enemies to low HP, allowing the team to quickly and easily finish off the enemy with a single blow. Even if you don't have "nuke" builds available to you, the sheer power of this gear makes it a good choice for any aggressive SP1 user.
