The Cursed Dagger is a Hardmode dagger that is dropped by Clingers. When used, it throws a set of three daggers with one always aimed at the cursor while the other two are inaccurate. The daggers pierce once, deal 80% damage on the second hit, and inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff. Like the Shadowflame Knife, it is heavily affected by gravity and the daggers will spin while falling.

Performing a stealth strike with the Cursed Dagger will throw a single dagger that rapidly accelerates as it travels, is not affected by gravity, and spawns a lingering cursed flame vortex on hit which deals 75% damage.

Its best modifier is Flawless.
