All vocations can defeat Daimon. However, daggers or Blast Arrows to the head result in a far faster defeat than anything a Warrior is capable of.

Devilsbane is a far more powerful weapon than the Helmbarte daggers. So, given a choice between Assassin using Dire Gouge with Devilsbane and a dagger wielder (including Assassin) using Helmbarte daggers, I would pick the former. On the other hand, I have found a dagger wielder using 1,000 Kisses with Framaes or Heaven's Keys to be more effective than an Assassin using Dire Gouge with Devilsbane.

Dire Gouge is always a very effective technique. Nevertheless, speed is of the essence and 1,000 Kisses is tops in that department. The bottom line is Assassin is a very effective vocation against Daimon. Besides the grappling attacks discussed above, Assassin can use a bow as a secondary weapon and fire Blast Arrows at Daimon's real or Chest Face. Finally, in addition to being able to single-handedly take down Daimon, Assassin can carry a shield as a secondary weapon and use launchboard to launch one or more pawns onto Daimon.

With daggers and sword of comparable power, I opt for the daggers. Not only do I prefer the speed of 1000 Kisses over Dire Gouge but the daggers also provide Assassin with greater mobility in the form of double vault, evasive roll, and Instant Reset. With daggers, also, you get what IMHO is the coolest (but not most powerful) skill in the game--Assassin's Masterful Kill.
