# Daggers

Daggers are extremely fast, close-range weapons with short reach, good Dexterity scaling, and exceptionally high critical damage. Their quick attacks can easily interrupt an enemy’s offense, and successive hits can stagger foes, allowing for relentless pressure. They are well-suited to confined areas where movement is limited. While their per-hit damage is low and their range is minimal, the rapid attack speed and strong critical hits make them ideal for skilled players who enjoy swift, precise combat. Daggers can be wielded in the left hand for parrying and are excellent for applying weapon buffs like Crystal Magic Weapon or Rotten Pine Resin.

### Key

---

<table id="bkmrk-damage%3A-the-damage-s"><tbody><tr><td>**Damage:**</td><td>The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:

- W is Physical Damage
- X is Magical Damage
- Y is Fire Damage
- Z is Lightning Damage

Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:

- Normal
- Striking
- Slashing
- Thrusting

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types.

</td></tr><tr><td>**Critical:**</td><td>One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes.</td></tr><tr><td>**Durability:**</td><td>The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%.</td></tr><tr><td>**Weight:**</td><td>The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned.</td></tr><tr><td>**Stats Needed:**</td><td>The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:

- W is the Strength required
- X is the Dexterity required
- Y is the Intelligence required
- Z is the Faith required

Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.

Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required.  
For example, a character with 18 Strength can wield a Large Club (Requires 26 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands.  
(18 x 1.5 = 27)

</td></tr><tr><td>**Damage Reduction %:**</td><td>The Damage Reduction stat dictates the percentage of damage reduced while blocking. The Damage Reduction stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:

- W is the Physical Damage Reduction
- X is the Magical Damage Reduction
- Y is the Fire Damage Reduction
- Z is the Lightning Damage Reduction

</td></tr><tr><td>**Stability:**</td><td>The stability of the weapon. The higher this value, the less stamina is consumed when blocking attacks.</td></tr><tr><td>**Frampt Souls:**</td><td>This is the amount of souls players will receive if they feed the item to Kingseeker Frampt.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Footnotes

1. When two-handing this weapon, only 4 Strength is required.

Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.

Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required.  
For example, a character with 18 Strength can wield a Large Club (Requires 26 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands.

<table id="bkmrk-damage%3A-the-damage-s"><tbody><tr><td>**Damage:**</td><td>The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:

- W is Physical Damage
- X is Magical Damage

Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:

- Normal
- Striking

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types.

</td></tr><tr><td>**Critical:**</td><td>One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes.</td></tr><tr><td>**Durability:**</td><td>The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%.</td></tr><tr><td>**Weight:**</td><td>The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned.</td></tr><tr><td>**Stats Needed:**</td><td>The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively.

Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.

Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required.  
For example, a character with 18 Strength can wield a Large Club (Requires 26 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands.  
(18 x 1.5 = 27)

</td></tr><tr><td>**Stability:**</td><td>The stability of the weapon.
