Best Dual Blades Skills

Best Damage Skills

These skills make it possible to deal extra damage! Aim for these skills for maximum DPS to defeat those monsters easier and finish those quests faster!

Best Skills Explanation
Burst
★★★		 For most builds, this skill greatly boosts the DPS of the Dual Blades, especially since they can easily activate this with just a few moves.
Element Attack
★★★		 Boosts the elemental damage of your weapon. Be sure to max out this skill to get the most out of its potential.
How Does Elemental Damage Work?
Critical Element
★★★		 For elemental builds, this skill contributes greatly to the damage dealt to a monster.
Critical Eye
★★		 Aim for 100% affinity to amplify the Dual Blade's base damage efficiently!
Agitator
★★		 Provides more damage and affinity, allowing the Dual Blades to grow stronger even in difficult situations.
Weakness Exploit
★★		 The Dual Blade's playstyle requires targeting weakspots to inflict optimal damage, so having this skill provides a significant boost to your DPS. Always max out this skill whenever possible.
Latent Power
★★		 Increases your affinity and reduces stamina consumption. The perfect match for solving most of the Dual Blade's problems!
Peak Performance
★★		 Gives an attack boost whenever you have full health. Great for the Dual Blades who tends to dodge all the time!
Adrenaline Rush
★		 Activates whenever your perfect dodge to provide an attack boost. Great for the Dual Blades as they tend to dodge most of the time.
Mind's Eye
★		 A skill that benefits against hard monsters as it prevents your attacks from being deflected. Great for the Dual Blades as they can easily lose sharpness.
Resentment
★		 Provides an attack boost when you have red health. Rarely gets activated since the Dual Blades focuses on dodging but can work in tight situations.
Attack Boost
★		 This skill increases the Dual Blade's physical damage values. Not the most ideal damage boost since the Dual Blades is more efficient with elemental damage.
Critical Boost
★		 Further amplifies critical hit damage. Keep in mind that this only increases your physical damage which is something that the Dual Blades lack.

Best Comfort Skills

These are skills that make managing weapon mechanics a lot easier. Damage is only part of the equation - taking time to slot in comfort skills that increase consistency & comfort will also increase overall DPS!

Best Skills Explanation
Marathon Runner
★★★		 One of the staple skills for the Dual Blades. This lets you stay in Demon Mode much longer than you normally would!
Constitution
★★★		 The perfect skill for perfect dodges! This allows the Dual Blades to perform more dodges before their stamina depletes.
Stamina Surge
★★★		 Speeds up your stamina regeneration. Perfect for the Dual Blades to enable their most powerful combos faster.
Razor Sharp
★★★		 Prevents your weapon from losing sharpness. This skill can help solve the high sharpness loss of the Dual Blades.
Handicraft
★★★		 Boosts your total sharpness! Try to max this out as much as possible.
Protective Polish
★★		 Prevents sharpness loss for a fixed duration after sharpening. Great for the Dual Blades to unleash all their moves right after using a whetstone.
Master's Touch
★★		 For crit builds, this skill is a must-have as it prevents your weapon from losing sharpness on critical hits. Keep in mind that this may be difficult to slot in due to it being a Weapon skill.
Speed Sharpening
★★		 Reduces a cycle for sharpening with each level. Useful for getting your sharpness level up mid-fight.
Focus
★★		 Speeds up the fill rate of your Demon Gauge from your attacks in Demon Mode. A skill that is now compatible with any Dual Blades player.
Evade Extender
★★		 Extends the length of your dodges which includes your dashes in Demon Mode. Beware not to take too many levels as the Dual Blades have a short range.
Evade Window
★		 Boosts the I-frames for all your dodges. Only effective on 3 or max skill levels.

Thank you very much for pointing out this inconsistency! We have now added Decoration recommendations for the Secondary Weapon. Appreciate the feedback!

No details on what to do with secondary weapon? Surely it can't be a default fulgur 1 with no decorations by HR 40 lol
