Fast off-hand and main-hand options. Pair with the Assassin Dual Blades build for backstab burst; scales with DEX.

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.
