Cloak and Dagger

Cloak and Dagger is a 1-cost common Skill card for the Silent that gains 6 Block and adds 1 Shiv to your hand. It provides both defense and offense in a single card, making it one of the most efficient common cards available. The generated Shiv is free to play, effectively giving you a bonus attack alongside your Block.

Cloak and Dagger synergizes with Accuracy, which boosts the Shiv's damage output significantly. Phantom Blades triggers on this Skill, adding an extra Shiv for even more value. Footwork increases the 6 Block with Dexterity bonuses, making the defensive component scale well into later acts. Afterimage adds 1 Block each time you play the generated Shiv, compounding the defensive value.

This is one of the best common cards for any Silent build, providing flexible defense and offense. It performs well against virtually every enemy type, from Act 1 fights against Vantom to late-game bosses like Test Subject #C10. Silent players should pick Cloak and Dagger in almost any run, as it fits into Shiv builds, Block builds, and general-purpose decks equally well.
