Dagger is a Rare Void affinity attack champion from the Bannerlords faction, added during the festive legendary fusion event in December 2020. She's a rare debuffer offering AoE Decrease Defence, a tool typically reserved for higher rarities.
Core Strengths & Abilities
AoE Decrease DEF: Her A2, Precision Sabotage, attacks all enemies with a 50% chance (75% booked) of placing a 60% Decrease DEF debuff for 2 turns, on a 4-turn cooldown (3 booked) — rare among Rares and valuable for Faction Wars wave clears.
Scaling Decrease ATK: Her A3, Swordbreak Knife, has a 50% chance (75% booked) of placing a 25% Decrease ATK debuff, upgrading to a stronger 50% Decrease ATK at the same chance if the target is already under Decrease DEF, rewarding sequencing her own debuffs together.
Turn Meter Pressure: Her A1, Double Daggers, hits twice and reduces the target's Turn Meter by 4% on each critical hit, adding incidental tempo disruption to her basic attack.
Key Weaknesses
Book-Hungry: Dagger needs a reported 16 books to reach full potential, and even then her debuff chances (75% booked) are consistently outclassed by epics offering the same effects at higher reliability.
Fragile Defence: Her low base Defence makes her difficult to keep alive in harder or later-game content without dedicated survivability investment.
Dagger is a strong Faction Wars pick for players without Stag Knight, and holds up reasonably in Clan Boss, Doom Tower, Dragon, and Ice Golem thanks to her AoE Decrease Defence and Decrease Attack combo.
