Master the Daggers in Blades of Fire! Learn how to unlock the Double Kukris, Bichwas, Sai, Dirks, and Krisses, and discover their playstyles and best builds.
The Daggers in Blades of Fire are a fast weapon type focused on quick attacks and evasive maneuvers. They excel at getting in multiple hits before retreating, with charged attacks covering large distances. However, they deal less damage than heavier weapons and have a limited strike area.
There are five Dagger weapons to unlock, each requiring you to defeat specific enemies a set number of times. Some enemies are encountered later in the game, delaying the unlock of certain weapons.
Dagger Weapons and Unlock Requirements
| Weapon | Required Enemies |
| Double Kukris | Defeat 30 Athanatoi Marauders |
| Double Bichwas | Defeat 30 Sworn Novices |
| Double Sai | Defeat 30 Tier II Athanatoi Marauders (Southern Hiss City) |
| Double Dirks | Defeat 30 Dryads (Dryad’s Forest) |
| Double Krisses | Defeat three King Narameths (1) Roggs Mountains - Celestial Cave) |
Double Kukris
The Double Kukris are a pure offensive weapon, best used with the Slashing style. They are unlocked by defeating 30 Athanatoi Marauders, which can be done in Bessacar Hamlet or more efficiently in the Kar-Lethel Swamp. The main drawbacks are quick durability loss and high stamina drain.
Recommended Build:
- Blade: 28“ Recurved
- Cross Section: Concave
- Pommel: Small
This build enhances Slashing damage while minimizing Durability and Stamina loss.
Double Bichwas
Unlocking the Double Bichwas requires defeating 30 Sworn Novices, found in Tok’s Kingdom near The Egion’s Abbey. These weapons offer a balance of offense and defense, with a flamed design for a damage boost at the cost of durability, and a bottom-heavy build favoring parrying.
Recommended Build:
- Blade: 16“ Curved
- Cross Section: Concave
- Guard: Medium
- Pommel: Very Small
This build provides a mix of Slashing, Durability, and Parry, with trade-offs in Stamina, Penetration, and Sharpening Cost.
Double Sai
The Double Sai are ideal for an evasive and defensive playstyle due to their light frame and hooked design that enhances parrying. They allow for quick hit-and-run tactics, as well as respectable blocking and parrying capabilities.
Double Dirks
The Double Dirks are unlocked by defeating 30 Dryads in the western part of the Dryad’s Forest in Chapter 3. These quick weapons, with their Light frame, excel at both Slashing and Piercing damage, though they lose some momentum.
