A single target destroyer, demolishes mini bosses and stronger mobs but lacks in consistent damage, long cool downs heavy burst flank damage bonuses and crit type damage.
Argent was named the old Orlesian word for “quicksilver.” She is swift, strong, and deadly—trained from birth to be a weapon. Argent has served many masters, sometimes as a bodyguard, often as an assassin. Passed from noble to noble, she was bought and sold like a prized sword, a fact that does not bother her. A weapon has no loyalty—it serves whoever wields it. Now, the Inquisition wields Argent.

Unlock Order¶
Grab all your abilities first (in order of preference). Beeline straight for I was Never here, then Knife in the Shadows. Upgrade all abilities, then get the remaining passives in order of your choosing.
Strategy¶
The objective here is to flank enemies and remain hidden. With your ability combo you can be in stealth at all times, more or less. Stay ahead of your party and run behind enemy lines. Target archers and wraiths first because they will destroy your party on the higher difficulties if not taken care of fast.
Remember, DO NOT ATTACK FIRST. When you are behind a group, attacking first will allow all the archers to lock onto you. Even if you go into stealth, those archers will still have you locked and be able to shoot you out of this. Remember to let someone else take aggro first, unless there is only melee units around you.
You are primarily a supportive role, dealing massive damage when attacking from the side or the back. Your role is to thin out the enemies who are targeting your party, to make their lives easier.
My daggers each have 90 base damage and they each can 1 shot everything except bosses and guardians when using twin fangs behind from cloak on threatening difficulty. Hidden blades can also 1 shot most things. Flank attack is weaker, but it allows us to enter stealth when everything else is on cooldown.
Anybody wondering why we didn’t use shadow strike - it is bugged and does not allow you to utilize ‘I was never here’ when killing from cloak.
