Guide
# Stealth + Dagger Build
This build is focused on chaining crowd control and bursting down priority targets before they can react.
Core Combo
The main combo is:
1. Heavy Attack (Dagger) → Aim for a headshot to stagger the target.
2. Shadowstrike → Use it immediately after the stagger to stun them.
3. Flashstride → Follow up if you won't get instantly focused.
4. Finish the kill with your remaining damage.
If you don't get a reset after the kill, it's usually better to back off and wait for your cooldowns before engaging again.
Playstyle
Your job is to pick off isolated or vulnerable targets rather than dive into the middle of the fight.
A fun and effective strategy is to run around the edges between two teams and hunt the ranged players who usually stand behind the melee frontline. They're often focused on the fight in front of them, making them easy targets.
A typical fight looks like this:
- Enter stealth.
- Find a ranged target behind the frontline.
- Land the headshot + Shadowstrike combo.
- Secure the kill.
- Reset stealth and immediately look for another target.
Strengths
- Very high burst damage.
- Reliable CC chain with stagger into stun.
- Excellent at assassinating ranged characters.
- Can chain kills if stealth resets.
Weaknesses
The biggest downside is mobility. This build doesn't have the same mobility as the Double Dagger build.
A common strategy is:
- Dive in.
- Use E to escape.
- Dash away.
- Heal back up.
- Re-enter stealth and look for another engage.
With this build, you'll often need to disengage earlier and play around your cooldowns instead of relying on multiple escape tools.
