    This might be already asked in the previous threads so I'll apologize for that now.

    I'll go straight to the point.

    Q: Are unsheathe attacks applicable to daggers(sub)? Or are they exclusive to swords?

    The reason I asked this dumb question is because I have very little idea regarding sword skills and mechanics. Worry not, I'll do my assignment of reading the threads later as I got something to do for now. So can anyone please answer my question?

    @Cypherian has been testing unsheathed. It didn't work for my 2h, at least not significantly.

    Unsheathe Attack is the First Attack you do while in non combat stance and during evasion attack.

    So any evasion attack you do regardless if its DW, Daggers, or any other sub weapon. It is considered Unsheathe.

    I see. So everyone can do unsheathe attacks (first attack)

    Then, I want something to be more cleared up.
    As you said, evasion attacks is another example of unsheathe attack, but...

    Q: I only see DW builds doing evasion attacks in the guides, but will it be possible for another weapon type to do so? Like Staff, knuckles or bow gun? In short, is there a limitation or exception on weapons?

    Another question comes to mind is...

    Q: Should I bother equipping items with Unsheathe stats if I only plan to use evasion attacks as primary/secondary damage source?

    I appreciate your reply to my first question.

    Unsheathe Attacks are 1st attacks, Evasion attacks and certain skills (so far only Charging Slash).
    Guard can also trigger Unsheathe Attacks under certain conditions, but it's not reliable.

    the damage modifier for Unsheathe Attacks is 100%, so it's like a normal attack.
    certain skills and Unsheathe Attack stats on equipment increase the damage dealt similar to how critical damage works.

    the range of Unsheathe Attacks is the weapon range, so short range weapons can miss the timing to activate the Unsheathe Attack if you are out of range and press any button to execute another action or wait for too long.
    Daggers will never miss the timing since they trigger the attack instantly.

    Daggers also use the Dagger ATK instead of weapon ATK.
    the skill Double Stab adds the chance to perfom 2 Unsheathe Attacks instead of 1.

    using Unsheathe Attacks as damage source only works when you have good physical attack and high Evasion Rate.

    reason behind DW being the only one having good potential with Unsheathe Evasion is because of the skill Godspeed, which increases Unsheathe Attack, also with their Buff Skills being Reflex which increases Evasion Rate and Flashblast which procs an explosion that does damage to an area when you evade. And the unique auto attack animation that DW has that mostly does higher auto attack damage unlike other weapons.

    Yes you can build Unsheathe and Evasion on other Weapons or Builds.
    2h and 1h can build Evasion, since their auto attacks deal good damage.
    Knux with Evasion is good because you build high dodge and paired with Evasion makes you unhittable most of the time.
    Similar to MDevs because you can evade while casting spells.
    You dont need much Evasion for Staves because evasion attack scales off Atk not Matk. So you can survive alot more but deal little to no damage.
    Bows and BGs dont really need it evasion but you can get it. Since most Bows and BGs are far off from the fray compared to melee classes.

    Evasion as a secondary/primary source of damage is viable for DW. But not much really for other weapons.
    Effective or not, its how you will build it

    I see. Took me some time to digest the information, but basically at the moment DW is the best option for unsheathe attacks while staves are the worst possible combination in terms of DPS, is that right?

    @Red_Fox your information regarding daggers unsheathe should prove useful as well.

    Almost all questions I have in mind are answered. I'll just have to find out the other details myself.

    Thank you @kokochan, @Cypherian, and @Red_Fox for sharing me valuable information and giving me your precious time. I really appreciate it.
