Dagger

The Dagger is a Dagger in Dark Souls.

Availability
The dagger is one of the starting weapons of the sorcerer class. It can also be purchased from the Undead Male Merchant for 300 souls.

Characteristics
Similarly to other daggers, the dagger deals low damage with normal attacks and has poor reach, but makes up for it with fast swing speeds and high backstab and riposte damage. However, it's not really viable in that sense as other daggers have a higher base damage and thus higher riposte and backstab damage. The dagger has the advantage of using very little stamina and light weight, making it appropriate for characters with low endurance.
