Synergies

• The mutation Open Wounds allows every hit to apply bleeding. This allows the Stilleto to crit starting on the 2nd attack if no other sources of bleeding or poison have been applied before the 1st attack.
  • Using Phaser will apply a bleed stack on the enemy as the teleportation causes melee damage, essentially allowing the player to instantly crit.
  • This combo also works well with Instinct of the Master of Arms, since it can trigger it reliably and quickly.
• Catalyst can be used in essentially the same way as Open Wounds as it applies poison instead of bleed stacks.
  • Other items that poison enemies such as the Alchemic Carbine or Corrosive Cloud can reliably satisfy Sadist's Stiletto's crit condition.
  • Snake Fangs^FF can reliably apply poison while teleporting the player into melee range.
• Can be used with any other item that inflicts bleeding: Throwing Knife, Hemorrhage, Bloodthirsty Shield, Sinew Slicer, Cleaver (Skill), Knife Dance.

Trivia

• Previously called Dagger of the Sadistic Cult.
• Sadist can be defined as "An individual who enjoys brutalizing others for personal pleasure", referring to its critical condition. This also refers to the removed sadism mutation.
• Sadist’s Stiletto has the exact same critical condition as Hemorrhage^RotG.
