Template:Sideicon

A dagger that cleaves its dancing victim.

Template:Sideicon The Dancing Dagger is bought in the village of Mist for 5,000 gil. It has an Attack Power of 24, and when used as an item, will cast the Dancing Dagger spell, which inflicts moderate non-elemental damage to an enemy. This weapon is metallic.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

Template:Sideicon Dancing Dagger is the fourth weakest dagger, with an Attack of 28. It can be forged using Kokkol Ore x3 and a Dagger at Kokkol's Forge. It is the best dagger in Rydia's Tale. It is still able to cast the Dancing Dagger spell to deal moderate non-elemental damage to one enemy.

Final Fantasy V

Template:Sideicon

Dagger infused with the soul of a dancer. Can be used with Spellblade.
Description

The Dancing Dagger has an Attack power of 48, and boosts Speed and Magic by 1. When the user attacks with it, there is a 50% chance they will use the Dance command instead of the Attack command. The weapon can be obtained from the Moogle Village and is dropped by the enemy Shadow Dancer.

There is a Dancing Dagger bug in the iOS version where if the player dual-wields the Dancing Dagger with another weapon, and has the Dancing Dagger attack first and it uses Jitterbug to kill the enemy, the attack from the other weapon will bring the vanished enemy's art graphic back to the battlefield. The returned enemy counts as defeated though, and will never attack, so this bug is purely a visual error that will not affect anything. The battle is won after killing all other enemies.

There is a Dancing Dagger bug in the PC version where if the player toggles auto-combat before an Attack that would instead use Dance then all uses of the Attack will become Dance until auto-combat is disabled.
