Why dagger progression matters in Hytale
Daggers reward precision, movement, and timing. If you enjoy fast-paced melee combat, upgrading daggers along the natural progression path gives you a powerful and efficient playstyle from early survival to endgame challenges.
Daggers rely on speed rather than raw power. Upgrading ensures enemies fall faster without prolonged exposure to damage. Using under-tier daggers can turn quick fights into risky ones, especially in later biomes.
