11 Build Guide: Dagger Skirmisher
22  
33 The Dagger Skirmisher is one of the four officially showcased Fatekeeper builds. It transforms regular forward dashes into leaping attacks and unlocks a ranged dagger throw that returns to the player like a boomerang. The build's design philosophy is movement: closing distance is offense, opening distance is offense, and standing still is the only mistake.
