Generic yet powerful skirmish event, Dagger Strike is on a very short list of cards that apply damage bonuses to the {{C|Shire}} culture. Since the most common {{C|Gondor}} damage bonuses are from hand weapons already, Dagger Strike can be an efficient way to clear the board.

Dagger Strike costs 0 twilight to play, though it will only pump a character bearing a Hand Weapon. Hobbits have just three possibilities (a version of {{Card|Sting}}, {{Card|Hobbit Sword}}, or {{Card|Frying Pan}}), whlie Gondor companions are given several options over the lifetime of the game. Aragorn bearing {{Card|Ranger's Sword}} becomes a strength 12, '''damage +2''' companion with just one Dagger Strike, enough to kill the majority of minions in Fellowship Block. If there are no valid characters bearing a hand weapon, Dagger Strike may be played to no effect to cycle it out of hand (perhaps in an effort to draw the weapons needed).

Dagger Strike is also a versatile event in mono-Hobbit decks as it is not a stealth event, which can be cancelled or prevented by cards like {{Card|Wariness}}, {{Card|Relentless}}, or {{Card|Seeking It Always}}.
