Characteristics

This weapon deals  Toxin damage.

Advantages:

• Highest base damage (tied with  Rakta Dark Dagger) among the single dagger category.
• Highest  Toxin damage of any melee weapon.
• Deals  Toxin Status Effect on Ground Slam.
• Can use the dagger-exclusive  Heartseeker mod.

Disadvantages:

• Second lowest attack speed of all dagger-type weapons, shared with  Heat Dagger.
• Normal attack damage cannot be converted with physical damage mods.
• Ground slam attack does not knock down enemies. 

Notes

Trivia

• The Karyst is the only single dagger that is available in the Market. All other daggers are available only through Nightwave, Invasions and Red Veil.
• The name and shape of this dagger are based on the Kris, an Indonesian dagger. This trait is shared with the Skyla of  Nami Skyla.
• The swirl pattern on the blade closely resembles patterns seen on Damascus steel.
