Why This Build Is So Strong

- +100% damage against poisoned targets.
- This bonus stacks with the weapon’s existing +50% damage against enemies affected by status ailments.
As a result, both normal attacks and Sword Skills deal exceptionally high damage once poison is active.

All three skills benefit from the Assassin Dagger’s damage bonus against poisoned enemies, resulting in extremely high Sword Skill damage.

Once poison is applied, both heavy attacks and Sword Skills receive significant damage boosts, making this one of the strongest DPS builds for Very Hard difficulty.
