While there are options to choose from, these weapons and armor skills can greatly enhance your Dual Blades build in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Dual Blades is one of the fastest weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, offering high mobility for both attack and defense. While Dual Blade cannot inflict huge damage like the Great Sword or Hammer, it excels at performing rapid successive cuts and slices. Since Dual Blades is one of the beginner-friendly weapons of the series, using it is not complicated.
However, mastering the weapon requires utilizing the Demon mode and Archdemon modes effectively. Equipping the right build with ideal skills can significantly enhance your hunting potential with Dual Blades. This guide highlights some of the best weapon and armor skills that amplify the Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Best Skills to Pick for Dual Blades
In order to efficiently use Dual Blades, you need to manage the stamina bar along with weapon sharpness. Demon mode, the weapon’s primary power-up, solely relies on the stamina bar. The following skills can significantly boost your Dual Blades’ damage while helping you use stamina effectively.
Weapon Skills
1) Razor Sharp
The more you use your Dual Blades, the more they lose their sharpness over time, causing your attacks to bounce off and reducing the damage multiplier. Since Dual Blades rely on continuous rapid hits rather than high single hit damage, maintaining sharpness is crucial. Razor Sharp considerably prevents your weapon from losing its sharpness, while Level 3 prevents the sharpness loss by a 50% chance. Equipping decorations like Razor Sharp Jewel provides this skill.
2) Focus
Archdemon mode is the ultimate power-up for Dual Blades, which requires filling up the gauge while in Demon mode. The Focus skills increase the filling rate of the weapon gauge, allowing you to fill up the Archdemon gauge faster and unleash more powerful attacks. Focus skill comes in three levels, with each subsequent level increasing the rate further. Weapons like Guild Knight Sabers and Wild Hatchets, as well as decorations like Focus Jewel grants this skill.
3) Power Prolonger
The three-tier skill (Levels 1-3) extends the duration of powered-up states for the following weapons: Long Sword, Dual Blades, Charge Blade, Switch Axe, and Insect Glaive. When equipped with Dual Blades, Power Prolonger extends the Archdemon Mode’s duration. At Level 1, it extends to 117 seconds, while the Level 3 Power Prolonger increases it to 162 seconds. Dual Hatchets III, Uth Ngarpatu III, and Dual Cleavers are some weapons that provide this skill.
Armor Skills
1) Burst
Dual Blades are excellent for dealing elemental damage, making the Burst skill a perfect option for Dual Blades. The Burst skill boosts the attack and elemental attack for continuous landing hits. Since Dual Blades allows quick combos and chained attacks, the skill greatly benefits its effectiveness. It has five levels, with Level 5 providing a huge attack and elemental attack boost. Armors like G Ebony Helm and Conga Mail Alpha grant the Burst skill.
2) Hunger Resistance
Just like in real life, your maximum stamina cap decreases gradually over time. Stamina cap depletion weakens the efficacy of the Demon mode. While items like Ration, Energy Drink, and Well-Done Steak restore your stamina cap, it takes time to consume them. Hunger Resistance reduces the maximum stamina depletion rate, and at level 3, it prevents the stamina cap from decreasing. This makes it one of the best skills for Dual Blades. Equipment like Battle Mai Alpha, G. Doshaguma Helm Alpha, Hungerless Jewel, and Hungerless Charm provide this skill.
3) Stamina Surge
The three-tier skill (Levels 1- 3) increases stamina recovery speed, as its name suggests. While the boost rate increases by 10% at Stamina Surge Level 1, it increases by 50% at Level 3, allowing you to regenerate the stamina quickly. Since stamina is essential for entering Demon mode, evading, and sprinting, Stamina Surge is highly beneficial for Dual Blades users. Rey Sandcoil, G. Fulgur Greaves α, Refresh Jewel, and Surge Charm are some equipment that provide the skill. Combining the Hunger Resistance skill with the Stamina Surge can become a game-changer, as it allows you to maintain and utilize your stamina effectively.
