On paper, Fortis Gran might seem like a superior dragon weapon but Ro Waga's rampage skill choices and extra slot makes it a way better dragon elemental DB than Fortis Gran. For Rampage skills, Dragon Exploit or Dragon Boost would both work and for slots, slotting in one more Dragon Jewel is the best choice.

Dodge all those attacks and keep on applying the blast ailment!

Best Skills for Dual Blades

Skills
Attack Boost
★★★		 For some endgame builds, Attack Boost is essential in getting the most damage out of raw. However, if you are focusing on elemental damage, you can prioritize this after. It's a great skill but to make the most out of it, be sure to increase your affinity first and get the necessary damage skills.
Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, Dragon Attack.
★★★		 Elemental skills are vital to the DB. They can maximize the damage dealt by elemental skills so increasing the elemental damage of your weapons is a must.
Critical Element
★★★		 While we prioritize elemental attack in elemental builds, Critical Element is good to slot in as long as you have enough room for decorations and high affinity. Critical Element is similar to Critical Boost where, instead of raw, more elemental damage is applied on critical hits.
Critical Eye
★★★		 More damage and Critical Element is also reliant on affinity so make sure to raise your affinity when playing DB.
Weakness Exploit
★★★		 50% affinity when striking enemy weak spots at max rank is extremely valuable for a weapon that likes to deal damage.
Blast Attack
★★★		 Having Blast Attack greatly amps up the damage of blast type dual blades. It's a great skill to have if you don't wish to play elemental dual blades.
Evade Window
★★★		 Allows you to dodge enemy attacks more easily. At the hands of an expert, a dual blade user with Evade Window is nearly untouchable and it opens up new ways to approach enemy attacks.
Marathon Runner
★★		 Longer demon mode duration is always great.
Stamina Surge
★★		 Quickly replenish your stamina after using Demon Mode.
Constitution
★★		 A great skill to have as it allows you to dodge even while in Demon Mode with ease.
Protective Polish
★★		 A neat skill to have for Dual Blades as the Dual Blade's sharpness rapidly decreases due to its fast attacking nature.
Razor Sharp
★★		 Same reason as Protective Polish but it doesn't need a whetstone to use in exchange of half effectivity.
Flinch Free
★		 A must have skill for multiplayer. It's placed lower as a needed skill since the Dual Blades' attacks doesn't get interrupted once used.
Critical Boost
★		 Early on, raw damage isn't the strongest point of the Dual Blades so putting Critical Boost on DB isn't as effective as the other weapons. You can have this as the last of the damage skills for raw builds once you have provided enough of Attack Boost and Critical Eye.
Evade Extender
★		 It is optional, but this is a suitable comfort skill given that using the Dual Blades gives you a lot of movement options. Longer dashes means you can get out of harms way more easily or reach enemy weakspots.

Why in the world would you put an piece of armor that requires you to get a carapace from Rakna kadaki as a viable build for HR 4-7 that literally makes no sense... by the time you get to have the items for that build you already out of HR 7...put a real viable and available build at hr 4 to push 5 and 6 and then 7.

1 Anonymousalmost 2 years

I’m curious why critical element is ranked 3 star and the guide says it’s very important for end game elemental builds, but the end game (base rise hr 100+) elemental builds on your guide don’t use it at all. Thanks for the guides!
