I think the heat buildup itself does not grant the invisibility; rather it is a byproduct of the method used to appear invisible.

Have you played Metroid Prime 3? If you have, you can consider this; the way I think of it is that the invisibility is similar to the PED suit in this fashion: 30 seconds of Phazon powered armor and weapons but excess phazon must be vented or else Samus gets corrupted. Another, perhaps more relevant example is Shishio Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin; he was an amazing swordsman but high level physical exertion for extended periods caused him to dangerously overheat.

Likewise I assume Assassinroid has a unit that she vents all body heat to, and the unit is able to dampen its own rising heat signature as well as her shunted heat, but if she engages it for too long she runs the risk of the unit overheating and possibly exploding. Hence the venting of heat.
