The Livid Dagger: A Melee Staple


Since its release on Floor V, the Livid Dagger has remained an essential piece of any Berserker’s arsenal. Initially valued because of its solid stats and very high attack speed, it still remains a very strong weapon even so long after its inception in 2020.

One of the most prominent uses of the Livid Dagger is in mid-game dungeons. On Floors IV, V, and VI, the Livid Dagger’s stats make it an ideal melee weapon, and thanks to its synergy with just about any damage setup, it is a much more versatile item than more powerful swords like the Shadow Fury, and in the early days of Floor VI, it was even used to sword-swap with the then meta-shifting Flower of Truth. Its 100% crit chance also makes Syphon incredibly useful on it. Outside of dungeons, it’s still a very strong weapon, dealing respectable damage.

In addition, the Livid Dagger also has niche uses by people who might not seem like they’d need its abilities. Tanks in dungeons use it to clear because of its 100% CC which they lack as well as the Syphon-Reaper Mask synergy. Weaker players grinding Voidgloom Seraphim use it for life steal from Syphon, and people who just want to hit really hard put One For All on it, turning it into a budget Shadow Fury. To top it all off, the Livid Dagger is relatively cheap, costing 7 million coins from the dungeon chest and generally only a little more than that from the Auction House.

Even with sword-swapping being patched, better Berserk melee options like the Valkyrie or Axe of the Shredded being introduced, and the reign of the Juju Shortbow and Terminator completely destroying its continued use by endgame players, the Livid Dagger remains a very prominent mid-game melee weapon and will likely continue to be used by all kinds of players making their way to different playstyles.
