Use[]

The savage dagger builds Yuffie more toward magic damage, with a higher boost to Magic Attack Magic Attack than her Attack Power Attack Power, having the second-highest magic attack boost. Yuffie's ninjutsu normal attack, her magic-based weapon abilities (such as Banishment), and her Doppelgänger ability allowing her to cast spells twice, make her a very strong potential spellcaster.

Yuffie's attributes are balanced, meaning savage dagger would tilt her heavily toward this role. Although the magic attack boost is less than that provided by Crescent Sickle Crescent Sickle, that also comes with a smaller attack power attribute, and her balanced stats and many of her physical-based weapon abilities (such as Blindside and Shooting Star) may lean some to prefer to keep some degree of physical damage boost available for her without specializing too heavily. The weapon skills also allow savage dagger to build ATB more quickly, in contrast to crescent sickle, which helps with critical hits for overall damage instead.

The reverse of the savage dagger is Twin Viper Twin Viper. For more balanced weapons, the 4-point shuriken and Fuma Shuriken Fuma Shuriken have entirely balanced attributes.
