Dual Blades Build: All About Weapons, Armors & Decorations
Which is the best build for Dual Blades? With the Dual Blades, you are extremely fast, and to make that worthwhile, it makes sense to focus on damage and affinity with high elemental damage.
The elemental aspect itself is secondary here – more important is the focus on stamina management to utilize burst damage as often as possible. The build is primarily about an aggressive playstyle.
| Weapon | Tiltcircles (Artian weapon) or alternatives depending on the desired element |
| Armor | W.-Vulkan Mask B Udra Armor B Rathalos Armguards B Gore Waistguard B Gore Leggings B |
| Talisman | Energy Talisman III |
How to Craft the Best Artian Weapon for Dual Blades
What do I need for crafting Tiltcircles? For Tiltcircles, you should choose three affinity infusions when selecting your materials. The element doesn’t matter and can be decided based on your taste. We recommend focusing on paralysis or explosion, as these currently offer the most advantages in battle. It’s important that the elements match to take advantage of the elemental infusion bonus.
If you don’t have good components or are unlucky with the reinforcement bonuses for the Tiltcircles, you can also opt for alternative weapons that you can craft from monster parts. It depends on the element you want to play with:
- Wyvern Lover (Fire)
- Master Sabers (Water)
- Fulgur Twin-Gardiana (Thunder)
- Hunger Claws (Dragon)
- Cliff Ulokiem (Ice)
As a secondary weapon, the bow is worthwhile, as it is excellent for compensating for the short range of the blades against flying monsters and works just as well with the build. Alternatively, the Heavy Bowgun is also a good choice to boost damage and potentially block.
Which reinforcement bonus should I focus on? When enhancing your Artian weapon, the following bonuses are especially important:
- Affinity
- Element
- Attack
- Sharpness
Which decorations are important? For decorations, you should choose the following options:
- Critical Element Jewel III 3
- Mastery Jewel 3
- Variable decoration with Element Attack 3 or Sharp Jewel 3
Dual Blades Build: Armors and Decorations
Which armors are important? When choosing armor, focus on the following equipment and effects:
Armors
- W.-Vulkan Mask B
- Udra Armor B
- Rathalos Armguards B
- Gore Waistguard B
- Gore Leggings B
Set Bonuses
- Gore Magalas Tyranny
- Black Darkness I: Unleashes Frenzy in battle against large monsters
- Scales Layering
- Adrenaline: Temporarily reduces stamina loss when health is at 40% or lower
Which decorations should I use? For the armor, it is especially important to select decorations that increase your affinity and elemental damage; additionally, due to Frenzy, you need an effect that increases your infection recovery rate while also boosting your critical damage.
Since Dual Blades consume a lot of stamina, especially in demon mode, it is important to minimize your stamina loss. There is also a focus on increasing your burst and elemental damage. Therefore, you should equip the following decorations:
- Head
- Phoenix Jewel 2
- Chest
- Sprinter Jewel 1
- Sprinter Jewel 1
- Arms
- Phoenix Jewel 2
- Sprinter Jewel 1
- Figure Jewel 1
- Waist
- Chain Jewel 3
- Phoenix Jewel 2
- Legs
- Chain Jewel 3
- Reason Jewel 1
- Reason Jewel 1
How Does the Strength of the Build Unfold?
The Dual Blades are among the simpler weapons and come with simple combos. You only need to keep an eye on stamina consumption, which is optimized with this build. This build also optimizes your burst damage. With the bonuses on elemental damage and affinity, you can effectively exploit monster weaknesses to deal increased damage.
Your damage and weapon affinity increase the more aggressively you play, while stamina consumption decreases. Finally, this build also leverages the Frenzy mechanic to boost affinity. This all combines well with the Corrupted Mantle to consistently deal critical damage.
If you are lucky with your weapon’s reinforcement bonuses, you can even achieve up to 100% affinity.
To top it all off, as a secondary weapon, you can either choose a bow that benefits similarly from this build or a Heavy Bowgun for buffs and defensive tactics.
