The Sword of the Lord and the Tauria Curved Sword are the weapon choices for the build. These are great weapons as they already have Abyss Gear slots.

The Tauria Curved Sword is slotted with the Abyss Gears from the Hwando for more damage and stamina management while keeping Crow's Pursuit.

If you have not reached Chapter 5, you can use the Sword of the Wolf with Abyss Gears from Hwando.

The Disguise Cloak is great for adding Defense on the build, although it cannot be refined, it still has better stats than most cloaks in the early game. The tarnished amulet provides attack bonuses, which is beneficial for this dual-wield build.

Make sure to invest on Forward Slash until you obtain Sure Hit, as it will be your main source of attack. Blinding Flash Finisher is great for AoE and burst damage using Spirit.

On your Spirit Tree, take all upgrades for Keen Senses to truly achieve agile gameplay. Dodge and Counter are great skills for Dual-Wielding as it allows you to seamlessly chain your attacks. You will also want to take Nature's Echo for more damage with Echoing Forward Slash.

Invest at least 5 points to Stamina to execute more combos and move around the map. It's also recommended to upgrade your health to at least 4 points for reliable survivability and take Aerial Maneuverability for traversal.
