I normally run sword and throwing knife for many reasons but 1 is to counter the 2 people in the world that also use dagger. I was doing a fof steal the other day and I switched to blunderbus and dagger to better deal with the large number of players involved (2 man sloop and a brige) but it came back to bite me because the last player out of the 5 I had to kill at new golden sands to sell the chest of fortune used throwing knife’s and I was out of heals and couldn’t block the attack so I died right outside sovereign’s with the chest. I’m so mad at myself for switching loadouts even though the blundy was very useful
They are absolutely not. Even now that doublegunning is nerfed to insanity, I could 2 tap someone easier and probably quicker. It is just a lot more reliable and you don't have as much bullet drop. And even only using the pistol with animation cancelling it should be better than the throwing knife. And for close range obviously the cutlass is now better than ever. I still stick to blunder+Eor. or pistol+Eor. for tdms. Unfortunately there are no tdms anymore and most of the actually good players from back then quit or were falsely banned.
I think knives are in no need of nerfs despite them being OP on paper. Sure, they have insane TTK, but the amount of skill they require over something like the sniper rifle offsets that immensely. If anything, I'd touch up their ability to duke it out in melee.
thats the thing you can completely miss and still get a hit. dont get me wrong i love the knives but sometimes i just miss completely and stillend up getting a hit the hit box needs work the damge is fine
i really dont like them in general. i can deal with every other skeleton type but golden skellies feel a lil too obnoxious, especially if you're on a big island and towards the center away from water
@@zacharyjackson1829 I mean I understand gold Skelly's being weak to bullets and plant being weak to swords but the thing is plant Skelly's can still die the bullets but golden can't die the swords I feel like if you soak them in water thay should be vulnerable to swords (It would be very awkward if that was actually a thing and I'm just stupid)
@@Senan_is_cool24You can actually kill golden skeletons with the sword. It’s obviously not efficient, but if you’re not near water and out of fire bombs with just 1 skeleton left- it’s worth just bludgeoning it with your sword.
Once I noticed you can't out eat the speed of hitting two daggers unless preemtively, I realized they're closer to being as strong as blunder sniper. Its good in its own way since unlike sniper blunder, if u miss one you have 4 more with no reload.
Neat trick: when you're being hit by a sword, you can actually throw a dagger in between the sword swipes, just hold down right click to keep the dagger wound up and then left click after a sword swipe.
That's the kind of video you expect to see on this channel. While everyone is on the buffed double barrel right now, phuzzy is out here making the double sword meta a thing. Some of your hits in this video were absolutely nutty!
finally people realize the true potential, it's basically a fast reload sniper rifle at the cost of lower range and needing to know how to shoot projectiles.
You forgot extremely limited movement and no hipfire/quickscope, which in combination kicks it out off the meta completely. If you use it against good opponent, you're basically dead.
@@hegemon3yea but unless you're in high MMR it's viable. People forget how important sniper is when it comes to putting pressure on cannon, but let's be real most phuzzy fans aren't tryhards and play casually.
Knives are decent enough. Speaking of, quick PvE tip with Throwing Knives: When fighting Golden Skellies, it takes 3 Thrown Knives against a rusted Gold Skelly in order to defeat it
I'm a total newb, just started playing on PS5. It's great to see some knife support... I chose to play the knives as a staple of all builds because I really just liked them, and I didn't care if people said they were weak.I keep doing quite well with them, they're like an easier to use fast sniper rifle... but I figured there is just something I don't know about as to why everyone rags on them.... Watching someone actually good at the game using them is nuts, and just inspires me more... you move so clean and fast :O
My husband immediately started using these when they dropped and loves them. I suck at using them so I’ll be sticking with the reach, I prefer to be a sneaky sniper 😏
The dagger does look OP lol. But I also imagine that your learning curve to get used to a new weapon is fast. I’d be practicing for months lol. Super fun video as always I love the science
I have never had success guarding ladders with a blunderbuss. I shoot, hit nothing, and they board as I am reloading and they kill me. Until that glorious day the throwing knives came. They are silent and deadly. I had a guy on the ladder and I bam bam with the knives and he died falling off the ladder. How? He never heard the shot he was waiting for to board. It was 2 sword lunges worth of damage and he never knew what hit him. It was like the angels started singing. lol
I think the only reason why you'll never see it in pvp settings is because its not a hit scan like the other weapons so the throws are a little less predictable, but for pve that's a perfect weapon.
i love them they are versitile and pretty good in both pvp and pve. they do have their downfall though. they will also probably be nerfed later on the hit box for them is to big you can completely miss and get a false hit marker and still do damage
I've been using them for PvP, and my god, they are great . That being said, the reason they are great is because it only takes 2 hits to kill and they have huge hit boxes.
Isn't it still better to blunder the ashen lord in the face, I get how it is way faster than a EoR but I'm not sure if faster than a blunder in close quarters
@@bradleyheasley play more you’ll get better, all these people that make videos have thousands of hours played. they didn’t start knowing everything being cracked.
throwing knives probably have the steepest learning curve of any weapon in the game. they are ass if you are unexperienced with them but godly when skilled.
Tried the knives today. Outside of PVE, hit about 2 knives out of maybe 30 thrown. I know they're good but my bad counteracts their good making them useless in my gameplay. LMAO
@@PhuzzyBond Sadly my aim only seems to drop when I'm facing other pirates. I cook skeletons up like a banana on a stove but when face to face with a fellow sailor I would have better accuracy juggling the knives with my feet. Thank you for the suggestion though!
So they went from being "pve only" to "overpowered" in a couple weeks? Surely then they're in the middle somewhere? Things are either useless or OP according to gamers these days, no in-between
dmg only maters if you can land the throw. no lunge with the dagger though = no use for me. they really need to nerf blunderbus all these weapon changes like weapon draw delay because getting 1 shot feels bad. so they make combat overall feel gross but then you still get a no skill 1 shot by a blunder. smh
Knives are so bugged right now. It takes 0 skill to use them at the moment. Use em while it lasts! I'd say I can't wait until the hit box is fixed, but they'll probably be worse than before and/or ruin every other weapon with the "patch"

agreed, daggers are insane right now, even in hourglass we pop off with them constantly
You can block daggers with swords but not that many people use swords in hourglass or know that so it’s fine. Good to know to defend yourself.
But no movement😩

1:03 New class unlocked! Blademaster
The daggers are really good. 60 damage with fast throwing is insane in the right hands. But personally nothing beats the flinlock sword
The meta weapons beat it tho
daggers are scary becouse you dont hear when 1st one hits you, and by the time when you notice healthbar-drop 2nd one is allredy on its way :P

Sounds like a skill issue blunder is op if you can use it just like eye of reach
@@Knivesarecool blunder guy mad💀💀💀
I save the scatter balls for when you are real close for maximum damage I’m usually able to get off all 5 shots
Throwing knives and sword combo SLAYS. also soooo fun
Been a while since we had a Sea of Science video. Thanks for your great research, as always Dr. Phuzzy. :)
THROWING UR WATER ON THEIR SHIP IS GENIUS
I watched this video during my workout yesterday, then last night I took down the fort of fortune solo with only knives and a few firebombs 🔪🔥
Someone screamed at my friend for using throwing knifes
Each knife throw is 65. Even better as that makes the total after 5 throws 325 damage instead of 300
phuzzy is the reason i live by the pistol, I've been dabbling with the double barrel but maybe I'll try knives.
That opening transition was great
2:40 cancling the animation = still water in the bucket
Daggers are the only thing that I would ever replace my flintlock with, maybe forever ..... love them!
sword knife is my new favorite load out
When I first went against daggers I was a solo sloop against a duo sloop. I was SHOCKED when I was getting two shot by them
I think the only reason why you'll never see it in pvp settings is because its not a hit scan like the other weapons so the throws are a little less predictable, but for pve that's a perfect weapon.

I’ve been running daggers with a sniper or blunderbuss and I’ve been doing better in pvp than I was before
“Stop putting me on fire”
Phuzzy who hasn’t even moved:
To be fair mast was shot
Daggers pair well with = Anything
11:38 Bro dodged IRL
Question, if I want to play pvp and pve what do I play I just started I’m pretty confused
Sword Dagger is so badass
They are my new favourite weapon.
They are really fun but in times of blunder 1shot bugging range its not fun but i enjoy then
Ey yo its Little Ned i love that guy!
I like the daggers they're fun! Stabby stabby😅
Been using them aince the buff and gotten some insane kills thanx to no reload 😂
How do you get the admiral dagger skin? Is it grade 5 in backbone stabber?
Soo, what's the best combo with daggers?:0
I haven't played this game since season 10. When did they add throwing knives?
Season 13 I'm pretty sure
All ive used since they dropped are throwing knifes!
10:23 LOLLLLL 🤣🤣🤣
As a dagger enjoyer, the *big* stab should be insta kill to the back, but it's not
2:30 pretty much every time I end up in this situation my wheels busted :(
when were these added?
Daggers would be great if only it didn't take 2 years to aim and didn't hit reg harder than TF2 melee weapons
"THERE ARE DAGGERS NOW?!!" -Me just now
sane
Daggers, double barrelled pistols, soon theyll add portable grappling guns
I use double pistol and dagger it’s so OP 😂

It depends on if you're getting lucky with back tracks in my opinion. This thing back tracks so much more than other weapons.
got called a hacker for using throwing knives
See this video is good advice for pvp but what ISN’T good advice is sitting in the ferry until your boat sinks

Daggers a different thing bro those are throwing knives 😭
for last week i see only player use daggers so i dont understend why you say they underrated
Daggers are only good because they backtrack 24/7
The most don´t use Daggers because their aim assist (aimbot) doesn´t work good there.
Like aim assist works anyways with how unstable the game is, I use it cause it’s fun.
Just quick swap blunder and sniper.
Litterally no reason for anything else to exist!
just pick fights, That’s how I got good
