List of Contents
It has to be emphasized that to successfully use a Power Stance, you must wield the same type of weapons in both hands. Not doing so and simply wielding two different weapons will only allow you to use each of the weapon's moveset without any sort of extra benefit.
Aside from equipping weapons of the same type, there are also weapons that can be wielded alone and it will automatically be usable as a dual-wield type weapon when two-handed. Such examples are the Twinblades and the Hookclaws.
With Power Stancing or Dual Wielding, you can use the L1 (default button) on controller or Right Mouse Button on keyboard to use both weapons to attack simultaneously. Not only does this allow you to break through defenses and deal damage more easily, it can also make stat inflicting weapons much more effective since you apply twice the effect in one go!
List of Skills - All Weapon Arts
Weapons such as the Uchigatana and Rivers of Blood have Passive Effects that apply on hit. With Dual Wielding, each passive effect a weapon has will buildup faster when using two weapons with the same passive effect. Keep in mind that both weapons have to hit in order for the passive effect buildup to be applied faster.
