Lightforce Dagger (Primary Fire): Dagger's primary fire is a homing missile with a small area of effect (AoE) [3]. It heals allies and can also damage enemies [3] [5]. The daggers can bounce off walls, allowing for healing around corners [3] [5].
Dagger Storm (Secondary Fire): This ability creates an AoE field that heals allies within its radius for six seconds, including Dagger herself [3] [5]. It's a great tool for holding points or topping up low-health allies [5].
Veil of Lightforce (E): Dagger's E ability is a wall of light that heals allies and increases all healing they receive for a duration [3] [5]. It's best used when health bars are dropping low [5].
Darkforce Cloak (Primary Fire): Cloak's primary fire is a channeled beam that deals continuous damage [3] [5]. It has a short range but infinite ammo [3] [5].
Dark Teleportation (Secondary Fire): This ability shrouds Cloak and nearby allies, making them untargetable and invisible, and granting a movement speed boost [3] [5]. It's a crucial tool for escaping danger or repositioning [3] [5].
Terror Cape (E): Cloak's E ability creates a wall that blinds enemies and makes them vulnerable to damage [3] [5]. It's effective for disrupting enemies and setting up kills [3] [5].
Eternal Bond (Ultimate): This ultimate allows Cloak and Dagger to dash three times, leaving a trail that damages enemies and heals allies [3] [5]. It's effective for contesting objectives and providing sustained healing [3] [5].
