How to Use Dagger

Scales with Dexterity and Strength

The standard Dagger scales highly with Dexterity and will have the most bonus physical damage increase when leveling up this attribute. Keep in mind that this weapon will require a bit of Strength to use but does not scale well with this attribute.

High Critical Attack Dagger

This weapon deals with high critical attack damage making it ideal for performing critical attacks. Pairing this weapon with shields that can parry or weapons that have high Poise damage is recommended to open up your enemies to these types of attacks.

The talismans Assassin's Cerulean Dagger restores FP while the Assassin's Crimson Dagger restores HP when performing critical strikes are good supplementary equipment to use if you are planning to use this weapon mainly for performing critical attacks.

Infusable with Ashes of War

The Dagger is infusable with Ashes of War but comes equipped with Quickstep as its default weapon skill and allows the user to avoid attacks by dashing in any direction.

The weapon's affinity can also be customized for improved attribute scaling and with its fast attacks, adding debuffs to the weapon will allow you to deal more damage.
