Viper Dagger

WARNING

Developer Preview: This item exists in the game database but has no obtain path in the current version (no drop, no shop, no reward). Only obtainable via dev/debug grant; an acquisition route is planned for a future update.

What Is It?

A poison-element short blade that stacks venom layers on every hit. Single-hit damage is modest, but landing 5 consecutive hits triggers a poison burst for bonus damage. Built for close-quarters rapid strikes.

• Type: Melee / Quality: 5 / Element: Poison
• Drop: No standard obtain path in current version
• Won't drop on death

Stats

• Dmg 22 / Speed 2.1 / Range 1.4m / Crit 8% / Crit Dmg 1.5x / Pierce 2
• Block 0.2 / Stamina 4/hit / Bleed 0% / Move Speed 112%

Venom Injection (Passive)

Each melee hit applies 1 poison stack to the target (max 5 layers):

• Stacks expire after 6 seconds without a follow-up hit
• Reaching 5 stacks triggers Toxic Burst: deals 35 poison damage and clears all stacks
• Stacking can restart immediately after a burst

Tips

• Fast attack speed (2.1) and low stamina cost (4/hit) let you stack venom quickly
• Burst damage is fixed at 35 — does not scale with crits or weapon stats
• 1.4m range requires you to be right on top of enemies — risky when surrounded
• Low crit stats mean early single-hit damage is weak; venom stacking is how you deal competitive DPS

TIP

Works best against slow/stationary bosses you can reliably hit 5 times. Struggles against fast-moving targets like the Hunter Boss.
