If you’ve tried Rogue builds in the previous seasons of Diablo 4, you’ll have come across a powerful Ancestral Unique weapon called Umbracrux Dagger. And in Season 5, it’s even more powerful! In addition to some basic attribute upgrades, it also allows you to summon spectral allies to help you in battle. This will make it very easy to fight against some evil forces in Sanctuary. But before you can find this powerful weapon, you need to collect enough Infernal Compasses, which are exclusive to Season 5.

Because it will help you unlock the most important mode of this season - Infernal Hordes. When you fight in it, it will give you some substantial rewards, including Umbracrux Dagger. This guide will show you how to get Umbracrux Dagger and how to use it.

How To Find Umbracrux Dagger?

Umbracrux Dagger is a rare item that can be found in various locations throughout Sanctuary, such as World Chests, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and more. However, finding it can be extremely difficult. The chance is too small. Additionally, there is no dedicated Boss Ladder that drops Umbracrux Dagger in Diablo 4 Season 5.

So the best place to find Umbracrux Dagger is the new mode I just mentioned, Infernal Hordes. You can collect some Aether in Infernal Hordes, and the more Aether you have, the higher the level of Gear or Uniques you get in the treasure chest after the battle.

From this, we can see that the higher the difficulty of the Infernal Hordes you explore, the higher the chance of Umbracrux Dagger appearing. But this does not mean that the lower difficulty Infernal Hordes is not worth exploring, you can prepare for higher-level battles in it.

If you don’t get Umbracrux Dagger in one go, don’t be discouraged. At least you can get some other valuable rewards. In addition, you also get more experience in exploring Infernal Hordes, which is very important. By the way, the treasure chests in Infernal Hordes will provide corresponding items according to your character or class. So, if you want to get Umbracrux Dagger, you can try to use Rogue character to enter Infernal Hordes, and the drop rate of items will be slightly higher.

In addition, completing the relevant tasks in this season’s activities as early as possible can also increase the drop rate of Umbracrux Dagger, because the main storyline of Season 5 is related to Umbracrux Dagger. If you use a more powerful build, you can completely explore the new side quests in the game after completing the main storyline. Maybe you can get Umbracrux Dagger in these small quests.

If you think that exploring the above content is too troublesome, and you don’t have so much time and Diablo 4 Gold to upgrade and explore, you can also disassemble a Unique you have. In this way, you can get Resplendent Sparks, which can be used to make Umbracrux Dagger. But it should be noted that not every Unique can disassemble Resplendent Sparks, so this may be a last resort. You’ll need to take the disassembled Resplendent Sparks and talk to Alchemist vendor to craft Umbracrux Dagger.

If you want to build powerful Rogue builds, such as Barrage Rogue, be sure to collect as much Burning Aether as possible so that you can get two Spoils of Equipment chests in a row. To get Spoils of Greater Equipment, you need a Tier 3 Infernal Compass, which you can find at World Tier 4, level 100.

How To Use Umbracrux Dagger?

Now let’s take a look at what Umbracrux Dagger has improved. First, it has increased Dexterity, and its skill Subterfuge has a reduced cooldown. This will allow you to use it to release attacks faster.

Umbracrux Dagger’s previous weakness of making you vulnerable to damage has also been improved, so your Innervation ability with this weapon will be stronger. When you use Umbracrux Dagger, Subterfuge will fire two Shade Totems, which can quickly determine the location of the enemy and hit the enemy more accurately.

In addition, when the first enemy attacked is damaged, the surrounding enemies will also be damaged by 30%. This is very useful when you are facing some groups of enemies and can also clear them faster. You can use Umbracrux Dagger in some higher-level Infernal Hordes, as it is not very helpful in PVP mode.

When you and your friends use this weapon at the same time, especially when your friends use Necromancers, your various attribute data are perfectly matched, which will make you feel even more powerful.

The above is what you need to know about the changes and uses of Umbracrux Dagger in Diablo 4 Season 5. I hope you can have fun using this powerful weapon in Season of the Infernal Hordes!
