Introduction to Dual Blades
In Monster Hunter Wilds, the Dual Blades are one of the 14 weapon types available for players to choose from. For those looking to understand how to wield this weapon effectively, check out the strength analysis and operational guide provided by "Wioud" below, which aims to assist all players.
Dual Blades Overview
Strength Rating: A-grade continuous output, medium operational threshold.
The Dual Blades are classified as “elementally focused weapons” in this game, demonstrating the following strengths:
- When in Demon Mode, elemental attack efficiency increases by 30%, paired with the elemental enhancement triggered by “Precise Dodge,” making them highly effective against monsters with elemental weaknesses like Sand Sea Dragon and Shining Thunder Dragon.
- The newly introduced "Three-Stage Dance" mechanism (Unrivaled Dance → Demon Slash → Great Dance) allows for rapid accumulation of abnormal status effects, with a 50% increase in the efficiency of triggering poison/paralysis during a single combo.
- Switching between Demon Mode and normal mode has become more fluid, and the new “Precise Dodge” enables players to evade while attacking, granting a 10-second boost of +15% attack power upon activation.
Demonization and Its Advantages
Once the Demon Gauge is full, players enter the “Demonization Boost State” where there's no need to continuously consume stamina for dodges or power attacks, significantly reducing resource management pressure. The movement speed during demonization is enhanced by 20%, allowing for better evasive maneuvers and significantly increasing the margin for error in guerilla tactics through the invincibility frames provided by precise dodging.
An exciting new move, the “Aerial Back Attack” (similar to the air combat feature in the previous game), allows players to hit multiple weak points on flying wyverns.
Note: Physical damage output is relatively low, so players should focus on attribute and status effect gear; the flurry attack has a longer recovery time, requiring precise timing to hit monster stagger windows.
Weapon Characteristics
The main features of this weapon include the Demon System and combo chaining.
Demonization
Entering a high-speed combat mode transforms attacks into multi-hit combos, where stamina continuously drains but the Demon Gauge fills up rapidly.
Backstep Evasion
Instead of rolling, players perform a backstep dodge, which offers greater mobility and seamlessly links into attacks.
Demonization Boost State
Once the Demon Gauge is full, it automatically activates, granting attacks additional attribute values and allowing players to use “Demon Slash” (small flurry attack) and derived skills without consuming the Demon Gauge.
A new system: Precise Dodging and Three-Hit Flurry
Precise Evasion:
At the moment of an attack's hit detection, evasion is triggered, accompanied by a counterattack slash and an increase in attribute values, serving as a core output and survival mechanism.
Three-Stage Dance:
Normal Dance: Activated under normal conditions, it performs a series of multi-hit attacks;
Demon Slash: Triggered under enhanced states, it allows movement and consumes demon gauge;
Great Dance: Derived from demon mode, it serves as a finishing move with high attribute explosions.
