Daggers of Greed

Playstyle Deep Dive

Daggers of Greed (B-tier) is a niche pick — powerful in the right hands and right fights, but harder to make work than the S/A options. Its signature mechanic: Basic attacks build a Greed meter that dumps into a Takedown lunge, scaling damage and stun with Greed stacked. This defines the whole rhythm of the weapon — everything else in the kit exists to feed or exploit that loop.

In practice, Daggers of Greed rewards fast hit-and-run. The best players treat its meter/resource as a damage amplifier to spend in boss damage windows, not as something to dump whenever it fills. Watch the boss's cast bar: build during the casting phase, spend during the execute phase, and reset position before the next mechanic resolves.

Boss Matchups

Rule of thumb: Daggers of Greed underperforms when the lobby ignores mechanics, and overperforms when mechanics are handled — it rewards teams that solve the fight first.

Best Relic Path Synergy

The community pairs Daggers of Greed with Path of Malice — crit burst that scales with your Greed dump. Stat-conversion relics (Burnt Cincture, Seraphic Tear, Celestial Green Feather) let you stack one attribute and convert it into the stats Daggers of Greed actually needs, compounding with your perk choices.

If the run hands you relics that point elsewhere, don't force the synergy — Daggers of Greed still works with generic damage/utility paths, just with a smaller ceiling.

All relic paths are covered in the relic index.

Progression & Mastery

Every weapon earns Weapon Mastery — a permanent stat boost per weapon type that carries across runs. Spending time with Daggers of Greed in early Inferno clears pays off permanently, even if you switch weapons later. Traits upgrade to level 10 (Co-op Power focused post-launch), and the second upgrade slot costs 1000 Eternal Shards + 5 Paragons.

Six upgrades per weapon let you tune Daggers of Greed toward your playstyle — mix attack speed, damage, and utility based on what your squad needs.

Rotation & Combos

With Daggers of Greed the loop is: Fast hit-and-run. Basic attacks build a Greed meter that dumps into a Takedown lunge, scaling damage and stun with Greed stacked. In practice, that means:

• Build phase — use safe poke damage during boss casts to build your resource (arrows in flight / Greed / Justice / Pride).
• Spend phase — dump the resource during the execute window or a stagger, then reset position.
• Reset — never chase a damage window through a mechanic; the recovery cost is higher than the damage gained.

Community verdict: Daggers of Greed is B-tier in most community rankings — viable but harder to make shine than S/A picks. The consensus tip is to master the build/spend rhythm before worrying about raw output — the weapon's ceiling only opens once the loop is automatic.
