| ==Overview== | | ==Design details== |
| The energy dagger is the Sangheili adaptation of the [[Forerunner]] ''[[misericordia]]'' blade-tools.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} The design bears much resemblance to the [[energy sword (fiction)|energy sword]]. Unlike the energy sword, however, it ends in a single point as opposed to the dual prongs of the energy sword. It appears to be mounted to a device worn on the wrists of the user. It is possible to use two daggers simultaneously, with one on each wrist.{{Ref/Reuse|RE}}

| *The dagger will also not appear if more than one player is playing on the same console. Because the Elite's fingers also do not move in splitscreen matches, the Elite will appear to use their fingers and claws instead.
