Repel an attack at the right time to follow up with a critical hit. Works while equipped in either hand.
Parrying Dagger Notes and Tips:
- Reinforcement Material: Titanite
- Infusable: Yes
- Buffable: Yes
- On parry, this weapon has 12 startup frames, 8 active frames and 30 recovery frames at 60 FPS, on 30 FPS divide by 2.
- This weapon has above average startup and average active frames, which makes it a niche parrying tool overall.
- All weapons have motion values assigned to each attack, which are modifiers to AR that are associated with the attack being used.
- The Parrying Dagger has a motion value of 360 on backstab, 432 on riposte, and 72+420 on Hornet Ring riposte. The motion value of a backstab with a dagger does not change with Hornet Ring.
- This means that aside from a difference in AR, no infusion is strictly better for ripostes, as all infusions will get the same motion value, with the only difference being AR. Use whatever infusion will net the most damage for the best results.
- Note that Dark damage does not benefit from Hornet Ring in PvP.
- Parrying Dagger has an attack range of 22.7582xl on the 1h R1 and 26.0077xl on the 2h R1
- As this weapon is not typically used for dealing damage, its recommended to infuse it with a Blessed Gem or Simple Gem to gain passive HP or FP regen. (Upgrading the weapon will cause you to regen more frequently)
