Daggers are a Weapon type in Dark Souls 3. They are lightweight, small, and have fast attack speed. Their main positive is their Critical damage, which allows them to inflict incredible damage on backstabs and ripostes. Daggers also have fast attack as previously mentioned, and when buffed with a status effect like Bleed or a Pine Resin, they can get off massive damage in a short time. However, Daggers do have problems that set them back; Daggers have very short-range, often requiring the user to get up close to the opponent to inflict damage; they also lack the ability to trade with heavier weapons like Greatswords, Ultra Greathammers, and Ultra Greatswords due to their low poise damage and damage without buffs, so Dagger users will have to extremely cautious when going up against these weapons.
