Dagger
Weapon Profile
Dagger is a weapon that is the most common out of all Dagger types. It also sells for the least amount of Gold and is often the first true melee weapon new Forgers learn to master.
Combat Role
Fast early-game melee weapon that trades raw damage and reach for extremely quick swings and easy handling.
Best Synergy
Dagger works best with on-hit effects such as lifesteal from Drain Edge and poison from Venom Crumb, letting its high hit count snowball value over time. Stat Profile – Dagger Damage 5 DMG · Very Low Attack Speed 0.35s · Fastest Tier Range 6 Studs · Short
Playstyle
Dagger is all about staying close, striking first and striking often. Use quick dashes and repositioning to dance around enemies, poking safely while avoiding heavy counter-attacks.
Strengths
Fastest attack speed in the game. Cheap and easy to obtain; perfect starter weapon. Pairs extremely well with on-hit runes and lifesteal. Simple moveset that helps new players learn melee timing.
Weaknesses
Lowest damage tier; struggles without good runes or buffs. Shortest base range, forcing you into danger. Falls off compared to stronger weapons if you don’t upgrade or swap later.
