The Twin Albiraths I is a great elemental weapon that provides Critical Element paired with Master's Touch to help compensate for the high sharpness loss of the Dual Blades. With the one jewel slot it has, we recommend slotting in Crit Element Jewel【1】 to boost your elemental damage even further for this build.

G. Veldian Harpes I is a great alternative that makes use of the Dragon element and boasts two Jewel Level 1 slots for more skill variety. It also has Focus 2, which allows you to fill up your Demon Gauge faster.

Uth Ngarpatu I is also a good Water element alternative despite the negative affinity it has. The Power Prolonger 2 may not be as effective but the Water damage it deals is good enough against monsters with the elemental weakness.

Skill Summary

Constitution 4 Stamina Surge 3
Burst 2 Critical Element 2
Master's Touch 1 Maximum Might 1
TBD 1 TBD 1

This build focuses on maximizing your Elemental Damage with Burst which can be activated easily with the Dual Blades. Pair this up with Stamina Surge and Constitution to recover stamina faster and increase the number of dashes you can do in Demon Mode.

The Burst Boost set bonus is helpful for prolonging the duration of your Burst skill so it can stay active throughout the fight, while Master's Touch will solve the sharpness problems of the Dual Blades.

Keep in mind that once you have encountered Guardian Ebony Odogaron, you can proceed to farm the materials for the remaining equipment pieces to complete the build.

The Ajara Twin Edges I is one of the best early-game Blast weapons you can get for Low Rank as it provides 10% affinity with a good amount of attack damage. Considering the Dual Blades are known for their fast attacks, the Blast status buildup this gives can be easily triggered multiple times throughout your hunts.

Barina Faucilles II is a great alternative that boasts 10% Affinity paired with a Paralysis status to give you periodic openings for damage. It also has Critical Status to proc paralysis easier and Critical Draw, which bolsters your affinity on your first attack after unsheathing.

Skill Summary

Power Prolonger 2 Latent Power 1
Marathon Runner 1 Constitution 1
Partbreaker 1 Ambush 1
Divine Blessing 1 Blast Resistance 1

This build makes use of Partbreaker to easily break off monster parts and Latent Power to boost affinity with the Dual Blades. Together with Marathon Runner and Constitution, this generally increases how long you can last in Demon Mode. Once you have unlocked Ajarakan, you can proceed to farm their materials until you can craft the necessary equipment to complete the build.

For Food Skills, we still recommend using the Black Belt Meal (Lo) buff as stamina is an important resource for the Dual Blades. The rest of your ingredients should focus on Attack and Stamina boosts but can be adjusted to focus on Health if ever things get too difficult.

The Bone Hatchets II provides the highest attack damage you can get at the start of the game, with a small sacrifice of low sharpness. This weapon also gives access to Attack Boost for more physical damage, and Focus to help fill up your Demon Gauge faster.

If you are having a problem with sharpness, the Dual Hatchets I is a good alternative to make up for the low sharpness that Bone Hatchets II has. Additionally, Power Prolonger can help you maintain your Demon Mode much longer which in turn allows you to deal more damage.

Skill Summary

Marathon Runner 3 Evade Extender 2
Focus 1 Attack Boost 1
Divine Blessing 1

This build focuses on maximizing the mobility of Dual Blades by allowing you to manage your Demon Mode better with Marathon Runner, and Evade Extender to help your dashes cover more ground. These pieces can be obtained early on in the game, making it a great starter set.

Keep in mind that we do not advise putting Evade Extender past level 2 because this will cause your dashes to offset your positioning. Evade Extender 2 is more than enough to facilitate mobility while fighting.

For Food Skills, we recommend using the Black Belt Meal (Lo) buff to help manage your stamina easier while the rest of your ingredients should focus on Attack and Stamina boosts. If ever you are having a hard time, you can always focus on Health more to keep your survivability up.
