Dual Blades are two short swords for non-stop, fast attacks. You trade guarding for speed, mobility and a flurry of hits.

How it plays

Your stamina fuels Demon Mode, which powers up your attacks and dodges. Filling the Demon Gauge unlocks Archdemon Mode for even more speed.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, every weapon can also use Focus Mode to aim attacks at wounds, and Focus Strikes to hit those wounds hard. You can carry a second weapon on your Seikret and swap between them in the field.

Who it suits

Players who want to stay glued to the monster with fast, flashy combos.

Tips

Mind your staminaDemon Mode drains stamina – eat a meal and pick skills that help with stamina.
Great with elementsMany small hits make Dual Blades excellent with elemental and status weapons.
Dodge, don't blockThere's no guard, so learn to dodge through attacks.
