Dagger Throw Starting move
Throw a dagger at one enemy for physical damage.

Back Stab Level 7
A landed hit is critical, but the enemy can still dodge. The move has a six-turn cooldown.
Using this kit in combat
The following tips are recommendations derived from the recorded ability effects, not a tested optimal rotation.
Speed Up changes critical chance, not initiative. Do not spend a turn on it expecting to move before an enemy that would otherwise act first.
Back Stab is critical only when it connects. A possible dodge and its six-turn cooldown mean you still need a follow-up option.
Compare a critical-chance setup with attacking immediately when the target is nearly defeated. The better decision depends on remaining HP and the actions you can actually use.
