Steel Knife in-game description

A steel dagger created by melding iron with carbon. It is light, strong, and easy for a beginner to handle. It is widely used, not only in combat, but for everyday tasks as well.

Simplified Chinese name钢铁短刀

This description identifies the weapon and its setting. It does not establish an elemental effect, passive bonus or damage value unless that field is shown separately in the running game.

How Steel Knife fits a build

Steel Knife belongs to the Dagger class. At class level, it is built for aggressive evasion, short chains and rapid repositioning. The quickest close-range class, trading shield safety and reach for frequent attacks and mobility.

Class advantages
  • You are comfortable defending with movement rather than a shield.
  • Long animation commitments feel restrictive.
  • You enjoy repeated short openings instead of one large punish.
Class trade-offs
  • Short reach and no shield make poor spacing more expensive.
  • Stay mobile, leave the enemy's active hitbox and re-enter only for a short, controlled sequence.
  • Individual ATK and scaling must be checked in the current build.
