Elden Ring - Assassin Rogue Dagger Build

Daniel expands his stealth-assassin build around Darkness, a short-lived fog that breaks enemy sight and enables chained backstabs. Flame Art Misericorde, Faith investment, talismans, Royal Knight’s Resolve, and buffs produced a reported 5,455-damage backstab, one-shotting Cleanrot Knights. The strategy remains matchup-dependent: Darkness fails against bosses, while large enemies make humanoid-filled dungeons the best setting.

Optimization dramatically improves ordinary encounters, but the build’s limitations persist against bosses and oversized enemies.
