    Tier 2 Skills:
    • Feather Dodge (Passive, 500 Silver, 1 Breakthrough Point): Reduces dodge Stamina cost by 50% and allows unimpeded dodging with a backpack.

Tips
  • Combine Backstab or Opportunist Stab with daggers for massive damage output, especially when flanking enemies.
  • Feather Dodge is crucial for survivability, allowing for more frequent evasions without heavy stamina drain or movement penalty from a backpack.
  • Pressure Plate Training and Expertise can create effective area denial or set up ambushes, especially when combined with status effects.
  • Serpent's Parry is a powerful defensive and offensive tool, rewarding precise timing against physical attackers.
