Combat has no effect on inflicting or taking assassination blows.

However, an assassination attempt from a Hero against another Hero is reduced by half of the victim Hero's level. So a level 30 Hero would have a -15% chance of being assasinated from another Hero. That means a Hero with a 20% chance of assassinating units would only have a 5% chance of assassinating that level 30 Hero. Note that this only applies for Hero vs Hero assassinations. Units assassinations are always fixed at 4% +unit level regardless of whether the target is a Hero or normal unit.

This feature came in one of the early official patches (1.01 or 1.02) so the Hero document provided with the original game is out-dated and no longer accurate..... unless you choose not to patch your game.

Also note that in 1.03.23+, all Titans have a hidden damaged reduction from ALL attacks by 33%. This even applies to assassination blows, making them deal only 777 damage to a Ttitan.
