Thief build notes
Dual Dagger, Critical Katar and Venom solve different combat problems.
Last checked: 2026-10-28. Game build: not established in the cited public sources; dated snapshots are identified below.
Skills and route selection
Dual Dagger weaves Fatal Stab between normal attacks for sustained damage. Critical Katar uses stealth burst and Sonic Blow. Venom should not be assumed effective against every enemy element.
Stats: what to prioritize
STR then AGI, with LUK support, is the guide’s Dual Dagger direction. Critical Katar and Venom depend on their own skill and trait package.
Gear, traits and cards
Finish one weapon setup before funding both daggers and a Katar. Match traits and cards to sustained attacks or burst; poison specialization needs a matchup check instead of a universal damage claim.
Runes and investment order
The guide recommends Wind resonance for rapid attack builds, with AGI/DEX relic support. That does not establish identical rune priorities for every poison or PvP setup.
Complete one coherent route before funding an alternative. The source supports a starting plan; it does not establish current prices or a guaranteed outcome for a particular account.
