Obtaining¶

Spirit Dagger has a 6.5% chance to drop from Phantoms found anywhere in The End. Looting enchantment increases the odds by 0.7% per level, for a maximum of 8.6% drop chance with Looting III.

Usage¶

Teleporting to the Spirit creates a large area of effect slash which damages all enemies around it for 5 x ₂.₅ damage with 100% armor penetration. Afterwards player receives a small combat buff - 4 points of Absorption, +3 x ₁.₅ damage and +35% movement speed. Assasination buff lasts for 4 seconds. The slash attack has a radius of 3.8 blocks. Slashes receive 60% of melee damage bonuses (excluding Potions of Strength).

Hit mobs which have attracted a Spirit won't be able to do it again for the next 22 seconds, indicated by a spray of particles above their head.

While in the offhand, Spirit Dagger provides a +1 damage to any weapon (including other Spirit Daggers).

Enchantments¶

Certain enchantments empower Spirit Dagger's slash attack. Enchantment power scales from both Daggers, meaning that having Sweeping Edge III on one of them and Sweeping Edge II on the other one acts as Sweeping Edge V.

Tips¶

• Both the damage and speed bonuses stack with Potions of Strength and Swiftness respectively.
• Spirits can be attracted by ANY damage, including (but not limited to) other Swords, Crossbows, Bows, etc., for as long as you are holding a Spirit Dagger in any hand.
  • However, the damage dealt has to be higher than 3 х ₁.₅. Anything lower will not attract any Spirits no matter what.
• Teleporting has a distance limit of 70 blocks.
  • This makes this item great for quick long distance travels while exploring or crossing large gaps.
  • Spyglass comes in handy while trying to position your cursor over a Spirit, as you can switch to a Spirit Dagger right away once you align perfectly.
• To fully use this weapon you have to obtain 2 of them. Using a weapon enchanted with Looting III is heavily encouraged due to how uncommon Phantoms are in The End.
  • Despite the drop chance being on the lower side, this item can be easily obtained in great quantities by opening multiple Pandora's Barrels. Be careful though, as Pandora's Barrel also increases stats of spawned mobs.
• This item pairs extremely well with Sharanga, since Spectral Bolts are completely unaffected by gravity, meaning that it is easier to snipe targets from far away in order to potentially attract Spirits.

Trivia¶

• This is the second Developer weapon to get added into Stellarity, the first being Prismatic Punch.
  • Though Prismatic Punch lost its Developer Item status in v2.1a.
• This weapon is based on Spirit Daggers - a weapon used by Evelynn¹ in Roblox BedWars².
  • This is also a reference to the fact that kohara loves this game and plays it far more often than he codes.
• This item had a total of 3 different drop chances prior to official release.
  • It first started with 12.5% base chance with 2.5% Looting bonus, then 15%/+3.5% before being nerfed to 10%/+1%.
    • This wasn't the final change in its drop rate, as in v2.1a it was reduced to 6.5%+0.7%.
• Prior to official release of 2.0a, Spirits used to directly heal 4 HP instead of granting 4 Absorption like it does now. This change was made to further replicate how Evelynn kit works in Roblox Bedwars.
• Spirit Dagger holds the title of the most tweaked weapon before its official release in a stable version, having been tweaked countless times prior to its release in 2.0a.
  • Some of the changes haven't even been listed on changelog Discord channel.
• In the development log from January 27^th 2023, Spirits were said have a light blue glowing outline, however this wasn't actually implemented until 7 months later during the development of v2.1a.
• In PvP, dying to AoE slash attack will result in one of a few custom death messages:
  • 1. VICTIM had their spirit consumed by PLAYER.
  • 1. VICTIM was slashed in half by PLAYER.
  • 1. VICTIM was assasinated by PLAYER.
• If player's name is kohara_, the trail for the teleport is going to spawn Cherry Petals alongisde its regular particles.
