Everything About Best Solo Dagger Build in Throne and Liberty

Dagger in Throne and Liberty excels in close-quarter combat, but be mindful of your positioning. A dagger is a single-target weapon that can just eliminate enemies who are below 50% health with a single critical hit. Dagger is a melee weapon that provides Burst damage, Critical hit damage, and Crowd Control. Dagger deals bonus damage to stunned enemies, so using status effects will greatly improve your damage output.

In Throne and Liberty, skills are abilities you can use and change depending on your equipped weapons.  Unlike other MMORPGs, your weapon choices determine your skills and build.  You can swap weapons and gain a new set of skills that you learn throughout the leveling process.  Moreover, skills come in three forms: active, passive, and defensive.

Dagger Pros	Dagger Cons
Mobility and Stealth	Low Defense
Burst Damage	Lack of Range
Crowd Control & Poison	No AOE Damage
Critical Hit Damage

Best Weapons Choice

Dagger in Throne and Liberty is a melee weapon that provides high burst damage, making it the perfect choice for players looking to create an assassin type of character in the game. The Dagger Playstyle revolves around increasing critical chance. Positioning the weapon to the side or rear of the target for additional damage and delivering multiple hits in rapid succession. Daggers can be great for quickly deadly strikes in close combat. Being a melee weapon, Dagger offers close-range burst potential and mobility.

The Off-hand Weapon for the Dagger build is a Greatsword. The Greatsword is one of the best weapons that you can equip when having a Dagger as a main hand weapon in the Throne and Liberty is the best melee weapon due to the area damage (AOE) and survivability. Use Greatsword build to stun, and crowd-control enemies that allow for combos and free damage. However, the Greatsword has no range in the game. However, the Greatsword has low lower DPS Output, Weak Single Target, and Lacks range defense.

The other weapon that works well with the Dagger is the Crossbow. This weapon also has built-in cooldown reduction mechanics further enhancing the overall speed and damage it can output. Crossbows are fast and deal a lot of damage but you’re squishy and you need to do it up close. Despite being considered a ranged weapon, Crossbow plays much more like a melee class than a ranged one. Crossbows have weak AOE damage.

Best Stat Points

The most important stat for a Solo Dagger build is Dexterity and then Strength.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

Moreover, once stats reach a certain level spent (30 or greater), you gain unique bonuses.
