Best Enshrouded Daggers
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.

Daggers FAQ
What's the best daggers in Enshrouded?
Level-40 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.
