How to get the dash on Bandit class ?

I would like to ask how to get the dash with all the weapons in the game or rather are there any special powerful weapons with the Bandit dash. I am currently at the beginning of the game and have managed to unlock REDUVIA dagger. The problem is that I can't use the dash anymore because the dagger has its own special attack on L2.

- Do you think the dash is a good mechanic or something going quickly outdated ?

- Do we get the dash with just the first weapon in the game or are there multiple weapons in the future?

- what do you think of the Bandit Shield ? (Apparently it is extremely powerful because it is much easier to parry than with other shields )
