a commenter, hoy minh, asked if i could show my mercenary’s daggers, here is the setup, you can chose to use the heavy dagger or light dagger on your main hand, i prefer light, heavy deals more damage tho

dagger 1 light
mods: lvl 10 midas touch, lvl 9 anti miniboss chip, lvl 5 sand storm
shards: gilded lightning touch (dont use thunder struck, unlike thunderstruck, lightning touch does not have a cooldown on its damage), gilded sundering blows, gilded back stab

dagger 2 heavy
mods: lvl 9 oil chip, lvl 10 controller chip, lvl 10 focused power chip, (WARNING: oil chip is currently gliched! its oil cannot be ignited, this will be fixed in the near future, normaly you are supposed to ignite enemies using midas touch, the enemy gets oiled and midas touch tics its fire dmg, setting the enemy on fire making them take more damage and since midas slows enemies, it will also trigger the controller chip
shards: gilded burning strikes, gilded poisoned blades, gilded frenzy, (as soon as the oil bug is fixed, replace burning strikes with venomous strikes

I use a ring of poison with hero damage and hero health

armor
mods: lvl 4 snakeskin armor chip, lvl 10 damage buff chip, lvl 9 swap damage chip
shards: gilded bulwark, gilded super conductor, gilded power gambit
gloves
mods: lvl 10 swap damage chip, lvl 9 damage buff chip, lvl 9 healthy power chip
shards: gilded critical strikes, gilded sharp thinking, non gilded critical empowerment
helmet
mods: lvl 10 swap damage chip, lvl 9 damage buff chip, lvl 10 healthy power chip
shards: gilded inspiration, gilded worm scarf, non gilded power of storms
boots
mods: lvl 10 swap damage chip, lvl 10 healthy power chip, lvl 10 damage buff chip
shards: genie king’s blessing, gilded speed boost, gilded escape artist
