Dagger
Overview
Dagger is a Legendary offensive item that combines physical damage with armor reduction. Every attack applies a weakening effect to enemies, reducing their physical armor and making them more vulnerable to incoming damage. Unlike most damage items, Dagger can increase the damage dealt by the entire team.

Stats
Why Use Dagger?
Dagger is an excellent choice for players who want to maximize physical damage against enemy heroes. The item's armor reduction effect applies a debuff to the target, lowering their physical armor for a short duration — allowing all allies attacking that target to deal more damage. The effect becomes especially powerful against enemies with low armor. If a target's armor is reduced to zero or below, incoming physical damage increases significantly. Because the armor reduction is applied directly to the enemy rather than granted as bonus damage to the attacker, Dagger remains effective for the entire team throughout the fight, making it one of the strongest team-oriented damage items in Spelltroum.
