Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Daora's Hook	③ーー	170	-

Critical Element

Fire: Wyvern Lovers

Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Wyvern Lovers	ーーー	200	-
	Affinity	Element/Status
	0%	28

Alternative Elements Weapons

Water: Mud Twister

Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Mud Twister	②①ー	170	-
	Affinity	Element/Status
	0%	29

Mud Twister's Element Exploit Ramp Up Skill still makes it the best water elemental Dual Blades pre-HR 100

Thunder: Despot's Blitz

Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Despot's Blitz	②ーー	200	-
	Affinity	Element/Status
	0%	25

Despot's Blitz is still the best Thunder dual blades with its massive raw damage and 25 thunder element.

Ice: Twin Nails I

Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Twin Nails I	②ーー	170	-
	Affinity	Element/Status
	10%	24 36
Rampage Skill	Teostra Soul

Twin Nails is unique in that while its Ice element is lower than other Dual Blades, its damage is supplemented with blast triggers making it our choice for overall damage output on an ice build.

Dragon: Ro Waga

Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Ro Waga	①ーー	190	-
	Affinity	Element/Status
	0%	18

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.

High Rank Builds: HR 8 to 40

Raw Damage

Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Night Wings	②ーー	190	-
	Affinity	Element/Status
	40%	-

Armor	Slots	Skills

Skills
Attack Boost Lv. 7 \| Weakness Exploit Lv. 3 Critical Boost Lv. 2 \| Speed Sharpening Lv. 2 Protective Polish Lv. 1 \| Latent Power Lv. 1 Windproof Lv. 1 \| Flinch Free Lv. 1

Build Merits	Despite having lower base damage than some other Dual Blades, we chose the Night Wing due to its 40% Affinity as well as its white Sharpness. We recommend using this weapon with Protective Polish and Speed Sharpening skills to always maintain white sharpness damage bonus.

Blast Attack

Weapon	Slots	ATK	DEF
Sinister Famineblades	②①ー	200	-
	Affinity	Element/Status
	0%	20
Rampage Skill	Blast Boost II

Armor	Slots	Skills

Skills

Build Merits	The bulk of your damage comes from the blast procs you get from Sinister Faminblades with Blast Attack and is a very safe build to play on higher ranked quests. Dodge all those attacks and keep on applying the blast ailment! For Rampage Skills, Blast Boost is the way to go as our build doesn't make use of the Hellfire Cloak skill from the Magnamalo armor set.

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!
