Bandit's knife or Shadow dagger?

[Z3PH97]

I've been looking for the best backstab/riposte/guardbreak weapon for my mundane build. Everywhere I look, it says bandit's knife or the shadow dagger. So which one would be the best?

[TrueArchery]

Shadow Dagger or Mail Breaker.


Or menuswap after a parry or guardbreak to a Saccred Chime Hammer, Fume UGS, Crypt Blacksword, King's UGS, Lost Sinner's Sword, Curved Dragon Sword,... theyy'll all outdamage your poor daggers

Daggers` ridicilous critical damage were patched out ages ago. If you want you can swap to LSS or FUGS on riposte.

Mundane Shadow Dagger and Mail Breaker can still hit for 1,000+, depending on the armor.

On higher levels maybe, but who cares about that.

25 lowest stat

Don't forget that I'm using a MUNDANE build, so if I can't use the weapon, it's not very useful.

if you have 25 STR and 18 DEX you can use all the weapons I mentioned...

Oh, sorry, I didn't want ot be rude.

i run around at all times with a thief's dagger and the stone ring on.

reason: 80% of players can be stunlocked with it. i tend to whip it out when they start the r1 spamming, backstab fishing, or some other scrub method. just pop out the dagger, and r1 spam right back at them. if the first hit dosent stagger them, roll away, 2h it, and come back to stagger them all day.

leave poison/bleed off though. it gains great bleeding damage, but only inflicts about 200-300 when the bleed hits, and the 4-5 strikes it took to make them bleed would have done far more damage with other infusions.

Should I infuse them with mundane though? I never used these weapons and I don't know what they do.

no. mundane sucks completely. its never worth using anymore. they changed that like right after the game came out. you will literally have to get all your stats to at least 50 before it even out damage any weapon in its standard form.

For crypt black sword I get it, but why for the others? Explain for each please.

I don't, they'll just deal more damage. Trust me and my 500hrs. In short the higher the AR the higher the crit damage.

I heard that it was nerfed for specifc weapons but it is still viable for the others.
