Overview
The Treasure Hunter is a human dagger fighter. Dagger in hand, strike to the back, target on the ground. You deal massive single-target damage through Backstab and critical hits. It's the class for players who like to settle a fight with one precise strike.
Key Skills
| Skill | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Backstab | Positional burst | A strike from behind with a huge damage multiplier — your single biggest burst tool. |
| Hide | Stealth | Turns you invisible so you can close in on a target unnoticed. |
| Trick | Control | Spins the enemy so their back is to you — the perfect setup for Backstab. |
| Deadly Blow | Frontal nuke | A powerful frontal dagger strike for when you can't get behind the target — finishes the kill in an open trade. |
| Switch / Dash | Mobility | Closes the gap on a fleeing target or breaks distance against melee. |
Build & Gear
The Treasure Hunter is a glass cannon tuned for a single stat: critical damage. Build priorities:
| Stat | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Critical chance | ★★★ | More crits = more Backstab and skill burst. |
| Critical power | ★★★ | Scales the size of every critical hit. |
| Accuracy | ★★★ | A mobile target dodges easily; a miss on a mage means your death. |
| Atk. Spd | ★★ | Raises sustained DPS and your evasion uptime. |
Your weapon is a dagger, no exceptions — the entire class kit is tied to it. Take the best dagger you can enchant for your stage and focus its SA on crit damage. Wear light armor: it grants Atk. Spd and evasion, which directly boost both your DPS and your survivability through evade. Keep crit-focused gems and consumables on hand. For armor stats and sharpening, see the item enchanting guide.
PvP
In PvP you are one of the most dangerous classes in the game. The Hide, Trick, Backstab combo deletes a target in seconds. Mages and archers fear you most — they have no time to react.
The tactic is simple and ruthless: approach in stealth with Hide, spin the target with Trick, dump everything into Backstab, then finish with Deadly Blow. In mass PvP and castle sieges your job is to pick off the enemy backline — healers, buffers and mages standing behind the tanks. Your main enemies are heavy armor and healers: against them one combo isn't enough, so you need a trade and party support. Compare the playstyle with the similar daggers Abyss Walker and Plains Walker.
PvE & Farming
In PvE the Treasure Hunter shines against single targets: high crit damage tears through tanky mobs and bosses fast. Against mob packs it falls behind AoE classes, so for leveling pick spots with single strong monsters rather than dense groups. Hide lets you slip past dangerous packs and reach the target you want without extra fights. For group-farm fundamentals, see the party system guide.
Pros & Cons
Strengths: one of the highest single-target damage outputs in the game, stealth and surprise openers, excellent mobility, and dominance over mages and archers in PvP.
Weaknesses: vulnerable in an open trade without a setup, heavy reliance on Accuracy and crit, weak AoE damage, and rough matchups against healers and heavy armor. For other classes and their roles, see the Hawkeye guide and the full class list.
