Gloria Victis Dagger / Assassin / Flanker Build — Passives, Stats & Playstyle
Flanker / backstabber / bleed — best as a SECONDARY (e.g. on an archer), not a primary.
Stat spreads are community consensus / endgame targets (assume the +20 Attribute Point cards), and some figures are pre-relaunch values that the V1.5.0 build retains — confirm exact numbers in the live in-game builder. The combat framework was unchanged at the June 2026 relaunch (changelog audited). See the combat math and sources.
Role: Flanker / backstabber / bleed — best as a SECONDARY (e.g. on an archer), not a primary.
Weapons
- Dagger: 1.0 pierce overhead/stab; with Marksman 5/5 + strong attacks, bleed 2.5 dmg/s for 15s; shortest reach (2.9 units) in the game
Attributes
STR 100 / CON 175 / DEX 275
(identical to archer — DEX drives daggers, so dagger+bow is the natural pairing)
DEX drives dagger damage, crit, and pierce resist; backstabs add bonus damage from behind.
Passives & skill order (Footman tree unless noted)
Marksman 5 (enables bleed) → Athlete → Breath Control → Dirty Fighting 10 (+backstab) → Finesse → Huntsman → Veteran → Bullseye → Sting → Precision
Top-tier (your one Tier-7 capstone): Survival Instinct (exit combat in 2s — disengage/re-stealth)
Armor
6 light or 4 light / 2 medium (max mobility + burst)
Playstyle
Flank to the back line, land backstabs, apply bleed with strong stabs, disengage before being focused. Pair with a bow.
Strengths
- highest burst-from-behind
- bleeds + fast disengage
- cheap to pair with archery
Weaknesses
- shortest reach — loses every fair duel
- glass
- useless vs heavy armor & vs anyone facing you
- consensus: not a real main
