Parrying Dagger Analysis

Not Built For Offense

This dagger is better for parrying and thus better to be equipped on the left hand as opposed to the right hand. It is not bad as parrying weapon either depending on your style.

Parrying Dagger Recommended Upgrade Path

Parrying Dagger Recommended Upgrade

Given that it is not effective as an attacking weapon, it is not recommended to upgrade the Parrying Dagger at all. Even with multiple variants, the Parrying Dagger is fine on its own.
