With nearly 30 different weapon combos available to players in , there are plenty of different build options to suit every playstyle. Early in the game, players choose a primary and secondary weapon which determines the skills their character will have access to. While there are several builds that have become quite popular in the game, one of the more unique and exciting builds isthe Dagger & Staff Build, known in-game as the Spellblade.

The strongest versions of this build, like this one from TheGamer, combine the Burning (Staff) and Poison (Dagger) status effects to achieve a high damage output for both single-target and AoE attacks. While it will take a lot of time to find the gear you need and max out your levels and skills, it will be well worth it when you are able to challenge even the most difficult dungeons and bosses with this powerful Dagger & Staff Build.

Before chasing down specific gear, you'll want to focus on unlocking the Weapon Mastery skills that you'll need. Allocate Weapon Mastery Points to unlock skill nodes in the middle and bottom branches of the Staff Weapon Mastery Skill Tree. After investing a point in Radiant Composure, unlock the Damage, Magic Hit Chance, Fatal Incantation, Damage, Mana Regen, and Mana Intensification skill nodes from the middle branch, and all the skill nodes in the bottom branch.

For your Daggers, you'll also focus on skills from the middle and top branches. First, unlock Silent Dash, followed by the following skills from the top skill branch: Ranged Defense, Health Regen, Debuff Immunity, Mana Cost Efficiency, Cooldown Speed, and Master of Evasion. To complete the build, unlock all the skills from the bottom skill branch.

For this Dagger & Staff build, there are two specific weapons to hunt down: the Staff of the Umbramancer,and Lequirus's Wicked Thorns. This combo will get you through to the endgame, but you'll need to level them all the way up and unlock the right weapon traits for each.
