Overview[1]
The Cursed Dagger is an unlockable and deadly bladed weapon, only being available during the Halloween events of 2021 V1.3.1-H, 2022 V1.6.0-H, and also in V2.1.3. It differs a lot from the other blade weapons with its unique gimmick and stats, said gimmick revolves around its poison-coated nature. This poison can be inflicted by attacking others two times after acquiring the blade. Once the 2 poison uses have been spent, the player must finish a downed player to regain a poison use, with a maximum of 2 stored at a time. Every Halloween update the dagger returns as a rare Dealer weapon.

Usage & Tactics
The poison is beyond useful in the long-term of a fight, once a target has been inflicted with poison they will constantly vomit and slowly have their health reduced by 1% before becoming downed, similar but even worse to players with broken necks, those poisoned cannot be revived or saved. This poison allows the user to completely dismiss their target after the fight is over, letting them get away whilst still dying if not cured quickly enough. The user will get the kill pop-up once they've died from poisoning, obtaining the normal reward. The poison effect counts as a form of bleeding meaning that armor can reduce the amount of damage taken by the respective bleed reduction stat of the armor. However, the poison effect can be negated entirely by the use of The Cure or Antidote found at Dealers/Armory Dealers (note that The Cure is only available on Halloween). Every time the user gets to successfully finish a target, there is a 50 stud radius effect of burning and loud laughter from the player; anyone that is caught up in the radius, including the target being finished, will be lit in a green fire for approximately 5 seconds, thus depleting 82% of health, making it particularly extremely effective for crowd controlling if you're not targeted. Although, this major fire damage can be slightly reduced by wearing armor.
Blocking
The Cursed Dagger cannot block. The Cursed Dagger can be blocked by: ERADICATOR
