The Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds are renowned for their speed and ferocity, making them a formidable choice for players seeking high damage output. These weapons are not only potent in the hands of experienced hunters but also serve as an excellent introduction to the game for newcomers.
One of the standout features of the Dual Blades is their agility. They allow players to maneuver swiftly around the battlefield, presenting an opportunity to evade danger more effectively. This flexibility is especially beneficial when managing health items, as players can quickly stow their blades to use potions or buffs without significant downtime.
Beyond their appeal to beginners, the Dual Blades possess a depth that makes them valuable in more advanced gameplay. With the ability to inflict various statuses and ailments, they are an asset not only in solo play but also within multiplayer scenarios where teamwork is crucial.
As the game evolves, especially in the post-game grind phase, we will continue to refine our strategies and provide additional High Rank builds for the Dual Blades.
Ultimate Guide to Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds
Mastering Dual Blades Combos
To make the most of the Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds, players should remember two key principles: maintain Demon Mode and keep your weapon sharpened. The blades may lose sharpness rapidly, but their devastating attack rate compensates for this drawback.
When engaging in combat, utilize a combination of Triangle and Circle attacks effectively:
- Activate Demon Mode by pressing R2.
- Fill your sword meter located in the top-left corner with successive Triangle and Circle attacks.
- Once the meter is full, execute a Blade Dance by pressing Triangle and Circle simultaneously.
- Follow this up with Demon Flurry (R2), and continue with more Blade Dance actions until your meter depletes.
- Re-enter Demon Mode and repeat the process.
- Monitor your weapon’s sharpness closely and retreat to sharpen with a whetstone as needed.
Building the Perfect Dual Blades Setup
While visual aesthetics can be appealing during the main story of Monster Hunter Wilds, focusing on weapon functionality can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
Early Game Strategies
At the start of your journey, aim for an elemental weapon as soon as possible. The Quematrice Blades or the Lala Barina blades are excellent choices. The latter will help you harness status effects early in the game, maximizing the potential of the Dual Blades.
For armor, while quick sheath skills are crucial for many weapons, the Dual Blades already allow a swift stow. Instead, prioritize acquiring the Evade Extender from the Balahara set to enhance your dodging capabilities throughout your hunts.
- Weapon: Quematrice or Lala Barina
- Helm: Quematrice
- Cuirass: Quematrice
- Gauntlets: Balahara
- Waist: Balahara
- Greaves: Balahara
- Talisman: Defense Talisman
Mid-Game Enhancements
As you progress through Monster Hunter Wilds, consider diversifying your build. You might choose to focus on the Burst Skill from the Ebony Odogaron set, which rewards you with stat boosts as you rack up hits—this perfectly aligns with the high tempo of Dual Blade combat.
Alternatively, by farming parts from the Rey Dau set, you can craft a build that utilizes the Latent Power Skill. This skill enhances your Affinity (critical damage) after receiving damage, which is likely when you’re fighting up close.
For weaponry, the Ajarakan Twin Edges are a preferred choice due to their ability to inflict the Blast element for explosive damage. If your aim is to wreak havoc with your attacks, these blades are ideal.
