Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇯🇵

Dagger favored by military physicians in white. The pointed blade is hard and sharp, making critical hits especially potent.

Medicine is mercy, and mercy upon the battlefield is ruthless. Beware the killers clothed as men of compassion.

白衣の従軍医師たちの用いる短剣
固く鋭い刺突刃を持ち、特に致命の一撃に優れる

医療とは慈悲であり
戦場では、慈悲とは介錯である
故に医師たちは、恐るべき殺人者となる

Acquisition

Found behind a fog wall that requires 1 Stonesword Key to open, near the roaming Grafted Scion inside Stormveil Castle and the elevator shortcut back up to the Rampart Tower Site of Grace.

Notes

• Has the highest critical multiplier in the game, at 140.
• Generally average or above average damage depending on the affinity used, but always the strongest dagger for Critical Attacks such as backstabbing or riposting. As such it's useful as a secondary weapon to be pulled out quickly, even when a build isn't focused on daggers.
  • Deals damage equivalent to a Colossal Weapon, for comparison.
  • This damage is strong enough that a riposte with a Fire affinity Miséricorde can oftentimes overwhelm the flat defences that often hold back split damage weapons, dealing strong damage (doesn't work as well on backstabs since the damage multiplier for them is lower).
• While it technically leans towards Dexterity it actually performs about as well on the Heavy affinity as the Keen affinity, technically better due to most daggers not working as well with Strength.
  • Actually the strongest pure Dexterity dagger with the Cold affinity and the strongest dagger period on the Occult affinity, but lacks the support of other Status Effects that other daggers such as the Bloodstained Dagger and Great Knife have.
  • Despite the general Dexterity tendency its Keen affinity actually gives it slightly weaker Dexterity-scaling for "bullet"-type (i.e. doesn't scale directly with the used weapon's damage) Skills with a Keen, Quality, Lightning, or Cold affinity, giving them usually about 2% less damage than they otherwise would have. This includes, as an example, the skills Beast's Roar, Storm Blade, Thunderbolt, and Hoarfrost Stomp (these skills however perform as normal on any affinity besides Keen).
• Has a unique, thrusting heavy attack compared to the standard daggers moveset. This trait is shared with the Glintstone Kris, the Main-gauche, and the Scorpion's Stinger.
• Somewhat stronger on lower stats than other daggers due to its higher base damage but lower scaling.
• The longest of all daggers.

Upgrade Information

• Upgraded with regular Smithing Stones.
• Can have its Affinity and Skill changed.
• All non-physical Affinities lower all types of guarded damage negation by 5%, except for the associated element where the damage negation increases by 25% and another element also increases by 15%.
  • Magic negation receives the secondary 15% negation bonus on Sacred and Cold affinities, Fire negation gets the increase on Lightning affinity, Lightning negation gets the increase on Fire and Flame Art affinities, and Holy negation gets the increase on Magic affinity.
• The upper number in the Atk column denotes Physical base damage while the lower, colored number in the Atk column denotes elemental base damage: red for Fire damage, yellow for Lightning damage, orange for Holy damage, and cyan for Magic damage.
• See the Weapon Scaling page for what the scaling values mean.

Trivia

• The name of this dagger is French for "mercy", signifying its use for giving the death stroke to heavily wounded knights, an "act of mercy".
• Used to be extremely popular with speedrunners before the heavy nerf to the Stance damage of Flame of the Redmanes (from 40 to 10), due to the power of its critical hits.
