Damage and Power are the wiki's own {{Weapon Stats}} formula evaluated at each weapon's required level. Damage adds 10% per damage perk; bows and staves have Power instead, which ignores perks — a different number, so it gets its own bar, column and sort and is never ranked against Damage. The wiki notes these figures are not updated post Wake of Water, so treat them as estimates. Legendary = the weapon carries named perks.
Why pick daggers in Enshrouded?
Daggers in Enshrouded are the dedicated stealth-burst weapon — fast attack speed, low base damage, and a critical-hit multiplier that turns 1-2 second stealth windows into one-shot openers. They scale with DEX (Dexterity), pair with the Assassin sub-archetype skill tree, and live as either main-hand or off-hand. Dual-wielding daggers is the canonical Assassin Dual Blades setup: opener from Sneak Attack, sustain through Slice and Dice + Expose Weakness, finisher with the bonus crit window. As a slot priority daggers are A-tier — they're glass-cannon by design, so survivability comes from bow secondary + Updraft for vertical disengage rather than face-tanking. Solo daggers work but require careful positioning; in co-op they're the cleanup specialist after your tank holds aggro. Legendary daggers drop from late-game Hollow Halls and carry perks like "Headseeker" + "Precise" that compound with the Assassin crit multiplier. Pair with the Assassin Dual Blades preset build for the canonical loadout.

Daggers FAQ
What's the best daggers in Enshrouded?
Level-45 legendary daggers are the strongest picks in slot — there are 30 daggers flagged legendary in our catalog. The top 5 by required level are listed above; each carries named perks (e.g. damage modifiers, crit bonuses) that compound with the matching skill-tree archetype.
Which attribute does daggers scale with?
Daggers damage scales with DEX (Dexterity). Putting attribute points into the wrong stat caps your weapon damage hard — a STR-stacked character with daggers will hit far below their level ceiling. Match attribute investment to the scaling stat above before pushing into skill-tree damage modifiers.
How do I get daggers in Enshrouded?
Daggers drop from open-world loot + Hollow Halls bosses + biome-specific chests. The 33 daggers in our catalog cover every drop documented on the wiki. Mundane daggers (no perks) come from early-game biomes; legendary daggers drop from Kindlewastes / Albaneve Summits / Veilwater Basin end-game encounters.
Are daggers worth picking in current patch?
Daggers are rated A-tier in our slot priority. A-tier means strong for specific archetypes (see the build hubs linked above) but not the universal S-tier pick. Worth picking when your build aligns.
