Getting in close range with the Huggable is essential to defeating an Assault. Most of them are so busy trying to reload their explosive weapons that they don't bother to use their melee weapons, so the Huggable can usually get away damage free in that phase. Dodging their explosives is where most Huggable users fail. The Grenader is harder to dodge, but there's a rather large chance the Assault will suicide, as they're most likely already injured and the Grenader explosion seems to backfire somewhat when used at close range. Bearail is easier to dodge, but you don't want to be caught in a direct blast, or even AoE damage, because I notice that most Assault class users have a tendency to go for Explosion +3. Using these tactics & spamming the jump button I can usually wear an Assault down and finish them off.
