Dagger
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 Strategy
Fast early-game melee weapon that trades raw damage and reach for extremely quick swings and easy handling.
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.
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.
