Daggers
May 6, 2026 at 10:11 PM
Initial dagger page covering the showcased skirmisher build mechanics.
Daggers are the fastest melee class in Fatekeeper. They trade reach and per-hit damage for speed, mobility, and a unique skill-tree pipeline that turns dashes into leaping attacks and gives the Druid a throwable dagger that returns like a boomerang. The Dagger Skirmisher is one of the four sample builds officially showcased by Paraglacial.
Fast strikes. Multiple swings per second. Lower per-hit damage that adds up over a sustained engagement.
Short reach. Hug the enemy. Spacing is the discipline.
Stamina-friendly. Daggers favor combat that flows rather than committing big swings.
Mechanic | Effect |
|---|---|
Leaping dash | Skill-tree node turns the standard forward dash into an attacking leap that closes distance and damages on impact. |
Throwing dagger | Skill-tree node enables a ranged dagger throw that returns to the player like a boomerang. |
Role | Why Daggers |
|---|---|
Showcased archetype, leaping dashes plus boomerang throws. | |
Hybrid hit-and-run | Daggers on slot 1 for melee, magic on slot 2 for setup or escape. |
Frost Skirmisher | Pair daggers with ice magic for freeze-then-stab cycles. |
Daggers do not Shatter, do not have polearm reach, and reward players who can stay in close while reacting to telegraphs. Their cap is bosses with wide hitboxes that do not punish dagger range, where a slower weapon would still land bigger swings. Dagger Druids should keep a backup weapon or strong magic for those fights.
