Brigand Twindaggers | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

I'm loving this as a 2nd mainhand weapon. Switch to it for monster backstabs (the 125 crit is sexy). I was gonna get the Farron GS for the dagger riposte but found it better to mainhand Flamberge or Wolf Knight's or whatever your preferred bonk and switch to this when you fight something you need fast attack or is easily backstabbable. Only 2.5 lb's so you can play as fast or heavy without hard switching weapons. It's pretty fugging lovely.

True combo = R2 > L1 in pvp. R1 > L1 is not true combo

These are way too fun to use. I have em on a Thorfinn cosplay alongside a bunch of throwing knives and their damage is really good (sharp build 54 dex). Roll catches for days with the R1 and awesome L1 combos. Just be careful of one thing: never press L1 three times against a player, the third one is parriable out of hitstun.

I want your opinions, these or caestus for melting people in PvP with enchants? Damage, roll catches, perserverence vs. quickstep, what would you go for overall. I'm leaning toward these for their R1>L1>L1, but I'm torn because of how useful a quick perserverence is.

a weapon for junior radahn

Pathetic base damage plus pretty good scaling and a second weapon equals excellent DPS and a surprisingly fun and capable PVP weapon for a dex build. Give it a try!

Planning on doing a brigand roleplay.
How's this and the brigand axe on a refined build?

Budget Bloodborne on PC: Use this weapon while running cheat engine in the background to set global speed to something like 1.15x. It's really fun, trust me

Just did a pontiff+old wolf sword Regen build and I can say that with quickest, one of the fastest dps in the game and high critical damage, they make great weapons for quick dps builds

I infused these with a Sharp gem and used them during my playthrough. They're incredibly fun and OP af once you master them. A few things I've learned: never start combos with L1. Your combo should be one R1 followed by L1 spam. It's much faster that way. Another thing is that you can cancel the recovery frames of Quickstep with an R1! This is so fast that it allows you to land quick hits WHILE dodging a boss combo! Get the 2 Pontiff Eyes, the Old Wolf Curved Sword and you can maintain their buffs by doing this. Twindaggers are the best weapon in the game for those items. If you're into pyromancies, Carthus Beacon or Power Within stack with the Rings and Sword as well. Also remember to use resins because they are busted on this weapon due to its attack speed. The resins increase the total AR of the Twindaggers by 35% - 40% whereas for example the AR increase on sth like a Greatsword is only 15% - 20%.

I've been using brigand daggers in my offhand as kind of a fast backup for my main weapon, Farron Greatsword. I have it infused for blessed, which gives it A not B in faith, and its literally stronger than any other infusion for current 30/30 dex/faith build. I got it mostly just to have extra HP regen, but its for some reason extremely good

If you ever see a brigand twindagger summon sign outside of demon prince, summon them. The boss will be dead in two minutes tops.

I feel like these little things are absolutely nuts with buffs, but without it they are kinda weak

Hello DS3 player, I am come to you for a little favour, and I will carry this message to everywhere in DS3 community.
There is a glitch that allows you to summon white sign mad phantom in Gael’s Arena (Credit to Dashingsaint), if you keep Shira alived while she invade you (you can escape her simply sprint out her aggro range), you won’t trigger gael boss cutscene, and then you could put down you purple summon white sign or summon other white purple.
Thus, a new fight club is founded, an arena in a long lost dessert under the sunset sky which sprinkle with fainted galaxy.
If you’re watching this, kindly please help me share this and invite any ds3 enthusiast you known to this new fight club, your little effort would be much appreciated.
SL25+2, SL40+4, SL60+6, SL72+8, SL90+10, SL125 Meta, SL 351++, all SL range are acceptable.
Welcome to the Gael’s Sunset Arena, the most beautiful map in the entire series, the last arena at the End of World.
I will await you there, in the End of the World, and we shall fight eternal, shiny and incandescence.
LONG MAY THE DARK SOULS COMMUNITY LIVE

Ah yes The Boss Melter(s)

This weapon plus Iron Flesh is an unusually good combo. You can tank hits easily and deal back massive damage. Quickstep also allows you to dodge without worry. This playstyle counters tryhards heavily

Fun fact: if they were 2x bigger, they would be like blades of chaos without chains

These daggers are super good, killed the abyss watchers with a +4 with a sharp gem

I used this plus toxic mist and Havel melted in about in 30 seconds

This dagger is pure bliss, i have it Sharp Infused +10 and it deals over 2000 damage on a full L1 combo, i don't have the DLCs otherwise i would test to see if it deals higher damage than Murky Hand Scythe's full dual-handed R1 combo, if someone can test this, please tell me the results in the replies.

I made a Thorfinn cosplay with these and invaded for a while. It was really fun, fast roll combined with quickstep and fast attacks made me very slippery and gankers had a hard time landing even a single hit on me, and between all the rolls and quicksteps I can still land attacks consistently thanks to the speed of the weapon.

Ol' reliable

That's all i have to say

Started my daggers-only run yesterday, and I can safely say I've found my ride-or-die baby. At 25 D*x when Sharp infused, a full 100 stamina bar L1 spam emptied into Crystal Sage for 750 damage without buffs. Trying again with a fire Bundle (phase 2 stunlocked me oof), I did ~1100 damage and STILL HAD SOME STAMINA BEFORE HE TELEPORTED AWAY.

Later on, I killed Vilhelm with them, applying poison resin and then cheesing him with the aggro range tactic to apply it. The L1 spam did around 400 damage without actual damage buffs, and a backstab while he was healing was another 350 damage (still at 25 D*x).


They're like mini Sellswords, and easily the best DPS weapon for a daggers run. I was worried I'd end up just using Bandit's Knife the whole time, but I'm so glad to have the opportunity to break that monotony.

Scimitar but the moveset isn't dogshit.

Remember: it's a dagger class weapon. Backstabs and ripostes hurts more than their combos.

Only dumb fat Casuls would use such a trash weapon!
PKCS is so much better!
Real Pros and skilled players only ever use PKCS, the best weapon gaming history!

Is this a good weapon to carry to the end of the game? is that I wanted a quickstep gun early.

Funny. Pkcs guy isn't here. I guess his weapon of choice sucks against this one

A Chaos Dagger, with 18 STR, 18 DEX, 30 INT, and 30 FTH has an AR of 334

The Backstab Motion Value of the Dagger is 390. 390% of 334 is 1302.6.

Chaos Brigand Twindaggers with the same stat investment have an AR or 343

The Backstab Motion Value of Brigand Twindaggers is 375. 375% of 343 is 1286.25.

If my understanding is correct, Chaos Brigand Twindaggers, with this setup, do 16.35 less damage than a Chaos Dagger on a Backstab.

Do with this information what you will.

I'm thinking of using these for an EMIYA cosplay. any suggestions?

How to achieve Nirvana:
1.Sharp +10 one of these bad boys
2.Level DEX up to 40
3.Find a lkss spammer
4.Quickstep through their infinite r1s
5.Bust a nut as you melt their HP and their ego

One of the most fun weapons to use in the game

Does anyone know if this daggers truecombo r2 to l1? Is kinda annoying the lack of stagger they have

Submit

The fact that this has quickstep lets it pair well with iron flesh and the fact that it has by far the highest damage per second out of all the quickstep wpns makes this IMO the best dagger not to mention it has 125 on critical attacks. I suggest using a dex build stopping at 40 to spare pts for attunement which is needed to cast iron flesh and spam quickstep. Alternatively some players go for a bleed build and focus only on luck which is better for pvp but useless vs pve bleed immune enemies.

Submit

Buffs, iron flesh, and lots of quickstepping makes these viable

Submit

I like these. More for PvE than PvP, but I like them. Their DPS potential when buffed is significant, Quickstep is so good in PvE, and many mobs can be stunlocked by them.

Submit

Try infusing them with sharp gems and leveling up dex to 40 i tried it on a new account and the dps is quite good

Submit

Not a lot of love for these guys in the comments, but I'm liking them. Once you start Quickstepping, its hard to go back to a weapon without it, and the R1/R1/L1 combo with decent Endurance is a bladestorm for days. Have overwhelmed a few invaders with furious stunlocks/panic spams. Have had no problem with them in PVE either except for a few bosses that require a bit of range to handle (Nameless King mainly). Plus a massive bonus to Fashion Souls make these a winner in my book. At the end of the day, go with what you like! Would recommend for anyone who likes daggers and doesn't obsess over min/max.

why the ***** do all duel wield weapons have a 2 hit l1 combo except the dagger and rapier???? why do paired ultras have better combos than daggers :(

Submit

for those who don’t know about paired weapon’s L1 , when you use L1 , the auxiliary effect such as bleed/poison have a debuff , this reason is to not be able to apply bleed/poison of 320 unit per second for luck build , it is insanely too OP , so to balance that , when you use the L1 of a paired weapon , the auxiliary effect deals about 25% less per weapon hit , so , if your grave warden twinblade have 50 bleed , they both loose 12.5 bleed on thier L1 , even before informing myself about this , i noticed it wasn’t doubled bleed

Submit

WRONG info in this page. This is not the best dagger for bleeding, even infused, except if you think about the double combo from the l1 attack… Bandit's knife is better thanks to its innate bleeding.

Submit

Um... there s no numbers for bleed or poison anywhere so how are we supposed to know if this is the best for bleed

Submit

These weapons got a nerf for the Refined infusion; even though the letters on the scaling show an increase, the infusion actually only makes them worse in every regard by reducing scaling and base damage from what the base weapon provides. Sharp infusion is now the only reasonable choice, and these still work very well with buff spells, resin, and carthas rouge. In PVP they require a lot of skill. Opponents with fast weapons will out-damage you when trading attacks often, and slow weapons with poise frames mean you have to time your attacks very precisely. Judging your opponent's stamina usage and recovery is key to finding opportunities to strike. Over-reliance on Quick Step can result in your opponent catching the Instability Frames that occur after each Quick Step if you just spam it and become predictable. The twindaggers certainly require a very aggressive strategy, but if you aren't able to out-think your opponent, you'll find yourself parried, out-spaced, or just out-damaged.

Submit

"The twindaggers have the highest Bleed damage of all the daggers in the game when Infused." - is this still true? they don't have BASE bleed so wouldn't Warden's or even bandit's knife have higher bleed after blood infusion?

Submit

this is for bleed for sure, just look at the L1 combo
