The Dagger + Greatsword is a burst damage with long range. With this combination, you can use daggers as an off-hand damage as well. This is the perfect melee DPS build, with high mobility, survivability, and damage burst.
Dagger + Greatsword: Greatsword is the best melee partner for the Dagger. Both of these weapons provide hard crowd control, burst damage, and mobility. Use skills like Shadow Strike or Stunning Blow to hold an enemy down, so this combination can keep a player in check for several seconds at a time. The passive abilities of Greatsword and the Dagger work very well, providing maximum HP pools, Critical Hit Damage, and much more. This combo is considered to be as “Bruiser” of Throne and Liberty.
Dagger + Crossbow: The combination of Dagger and Crossbow is the bread and butter for you in Throne and Liberty. To deal increased damage, both of these weapons use the Off-Hand Weapon Chance. However, both weapons work in short ranges, making it an Assassin’s type combo. For players who prefer an assassin-style combat then these combos are for those.
Dagger + Any Weapon: Daggers can honestly pair up with any weapon in Throne and Liberty. Daggers provide a ton of damage, evasion, and support and act as a perfect back-bar weapon.
