Who can wield this
All classes →ShadowstrixAssassin · Dagger / Dual Blades
A high-mobility assassin built for daggers and dual blades — closes distance, opens with critical strikes, and disengages before retaliation lands.
SMeta-defining in our tier read: The solo predator — stealth scouting, fights taken on its own terms, and the burst to delete a caught-out target. The read is contested, though: it's widely called the hardest class to master, and it underperforms against big PvE bosses, so its rating drops the further you get from solo hunting.
About the Dagger
All Dagger weapons →Fast light blade built around mobility, critical strikes and burst. · One-handed
“Its creator, Assassin master Chiron, never faced an opponent who survived three attacks, so only three techniques were passed down.”
