Weapon Mechanics

Basic Attack: Slashes

• Damage: 76–80 per hit
• Description: Executes a series of quick slashes, forming a 5-hit combo. Each consecutive hit generates increasing amounts of Greed:

1st hit: +1 Greed

2nd hit: +4 Greed

3rd hit: +7 Greed

4th hit: +10 Greed

5th hit: +13 Greed

• Note: Maintaining a continuous assault is crucial for maximizing Greed accumulation.

Charge Attack: Stun Slash

• Damage: 152–160 per hit
• Description: Delivers a powerful slash that heavily staggers enemies. Generates double the Greed of basic attacks:

1st hit: +2 Greed

2nd hit: +8 Greed

3rd hit: +14 Greed

4th hit: +20 Greed

5th hit: +26 Greed

• Note: Effective for disrupting enemy attacks and quickly building Greed.

Special Ability: Takedown

• Description: Performs a lunging slash that consumes all accumulated Greed upon hitting an enemy. The lunge distance increases when the ability button is held longer. Damage and stun buildup scale with the amount of Greed consumed. The player becomes invulnerable during the lunge animation. After execution, there's a 2-second cooldown.
• Note: Timing the Takedown when Greed is high can result in significant damage and crowd control.

Ability Meter: Greed

• Capacity: 66 (base maximum)
• Description: Accumulates through successful hits. After 3 seconds without generating Greed, it begins to deplete at a rate of 5 per second. Engaging enemies resets this timer.
• Note: Continuous combat is essential to maintain Greed levels for optimal performance.

Co-op Ability: Greedy Strikes

• Description: Grants a buff causing enemies to drop bones when hit. Additionally, provides a damage increase that scales with the number of bones collected. The buff's duration extends with higher Empathy stats.
• Note: Coordinating with allies to maximize bone collection can lead to substantial damage boosts. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Weapon Masteries

• Greedier: Increases Greed capacity by 33 but causes Takedown to always consume all Greed.
• Quick Strike: Increases attack speed after every 4 successful hits, up to a cap.
• Steadfast Power: Boosts attack power the longer you go without dashing, up to a limit.
• Mortal Slashes: Reduces heavy slash damage but significantly increases it against enemies below half health.
• Stabs: Enhances light slash damage but reduces attack range.
• Patience: Once Greed starts depleting, movement speed increases, and the next attack deals extra damage temporarily.
• Note: Masteries allow players to tailor the Daggers' performance to their preferred playstyle.

Strategic Considerations

• Mobility: The Daggers' swift attacks and movement make them ideal for hit-and-run tactics.
• Greed Management: Balancing aggression to maintain Greed without overextending is crucial.
• Team Synergy: Utilizing Greedy Strikes in coordination with teammates can amplify overall damage output.

Trivia
