Dual Blades Guide

The Dual Blades are the Fast and Furious weapon of Monster Hunter: World, rewarding an extremely aggressive style of play. The Dual Blades boast the highest attack speed of any weapon in the game and aren’t particularly hard to learn, thus they are recommended for new players. There is no way to block when using Dual Blades so Hunters wielding them will have to learn to Evade or face the consequences.

  • Difficulty: Low
  • Role: DPS
  • Mobility: High
  • Sharpness: Low

Feb 25, 2018 Welcome to this episode of 'A Hunter's Guide' series. Here we bring you guides on all aspects of Monster Hunter World. Episode 4: Dual Blades In this episode, we cover the Dual Blades.

Unlike some other weapons, Dual Blades have a vast quantity of combos, and so much so that it would be impossible to list them all here and still make a short concise guide. Players are encouraged to play around with both and in various combinations because they all pretty much work and the variance in attacks is not large enough for a beginner to worry about.

These are merely a few of the possible combinations.

Special Attacks and Things of Interest

  • Players using Dual Blades can enter Demon Mode, by pressing . Demon Mode allows the player to attack for more damage at an absurdly rapid rate without fear of bouncing off of their target. While in this Mode two things will occur: 1) your Stamina will deplete on its own whether you attack or not and 2) you will fill your ArchdemonBar. Once your Archdemon Bar is full (solid red) you will gain further increased attack. When your Stamina has been fully depleted you will enter Archdemon Mode which alters your normal moveset, only leaving this when you re-enter Demon Mode (kudos to Viotech from the MHW Discord for the clarification).
  • When in Demon Mode or Archdemon Mode if you press + you will perform a flurry of slashes and attacks called Blade Dance that deals crazy damage. However, you are locked into place for the duration of the combo and cannot exit it, so be sure to use it when you won’t be struck.
  • When in Demon Mode you can perform a spinning mid air attack by dashing off the edge of a ledge or cliff. It can hit for a decent amount of damage, so learn to use this when possible if you can.

Blade Dance hits incredibly fast, but you are completely stationary and are vulnerable to attacks when doing it.

The Dual Blades have the shortest reach of all weapons, requiring the player to be at near point blank range in order to connect with attacks. This can put them in a dangerous position when facing monsters that hit hard and have somewhat unpredictable attack patterns.

Final Tips

Stamina management is the name of the game when using the Dual Blades, as Demon Mode will drain it quickly. Keep a close eye on your gauge and be sure to exit it with when you aren’t fighting so you don’t run out.

As mentioned above, you cannot block when using Dual Blades so you must become more proficient with Evade than other players using other weapons. You also dash when in Demon Mode so you will need to get a feel for this as you play.

Because of the rapid pace at which you attack, the Sharpness of your weapon depletes much faster than most other weapons. Be sure to use a Whetstone when you are low and keep your Blades in good shape at all times to prevent them from bouncing.

You can see how quickly the sharpness goes down. This clip is just a bit slower than real time.

Dual Blades are very fast weapons in Monster Hunter Generations. You can link multiple attacks and the hunter arts are fast-paced as well. They also get a Demon Mode that gives them different attacks and combos, but drains stamina in the process.

Dual Blades are good weapons to start with if you are new to the game or like fast combat. Just prepare to use whetstones to keep the sharpness up. I'm going to over the basics and give some tips at getting better with Dual Blades.

This guide will go over using Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Generations including:

  • Basic Controls - The different things you can do with Dual Blades.
  • Demon Mode - How it works and why it is important.

Basic Controls

  • X performs a Double Slash Attack
    • Circle Slash in Demon Mode
  • A performs a Right Double Slash attack
    • Right Double Roundslash in Demon Mode
  • X+A at the same time performs a Lunging Strike
    • Blade Dance in Demon Mode
  • R turns Demon mode on and off
  • B Performs a dodge
    • Demon Dodge in Demon Mode

Demon Mode

When you activate Demon Mode, you get increased attack and Knockback Protection. It also changes many of your attacks, as seen in the Controls section above.

Your stamina continually drains while in Demon Mode, and you will leave it when you run out of stamina, get knocked in the air, flinch at a roar, or manually turn it off.

Demon Gauge and Archdemon Mode

When you land attacks in Demon Mode, you fill the Demon Gauge and enter Archdemon Mode when the gauge is full.

  • This greatly increases attack speed and gives you special attacks
  • Performing special attack consume the Demon Gauge

The Demon Gauge also depletes over time.

Hunter Styles and Arts

I won't go over the general info on the 4 Styles -- if you want you can check out my Beginner Tips and Tricks for more details -- but I will let you know how they affect Dual Blades.

Guild is the standard, with access to all abilities and normal mechanics. It is great if you want to standard experience and have more than 1 Hunter Art.

Striker is very similar to Guild, except you can't enter Archdemon Mode. It is is still a good one to use if you are new and you get 3 Hunter Arts.

Aerial is best if you want to mount monsters or attack from the air.

Duel

It also changes the Demon Mode Blade Dance to Demon Flurry Rush, which is not as big of a combo.

You get access to a nice aerial attack while in demon mode that attacks in the air and spins when landing. I usually pick this Hunter Style because of the flashy attacks.

Adept is another style that fits Dual Blades very well because of how fast you move.

You are constantly attacking and dodging, plus you get a faster dodge while in Demon Mode. This allows you to more easily dodge attacks and use the Insta-moves.

Arts

There 3 specific Dual Blades Hunter Arts:

  • Blood Wind - Spins around with slicing attacks while moving. You can change direction twice.
  • Aerial Slam - Rush off a ledge to perform a spinning aerial attack. If you connect, you can follow up with an aerial drop attack.
  • Wolf's Maw - Gives you a buff that allows you to deal 2 hits with a single swing.

I usually stay away from Aerial Slam because it requires you to jump off a ledge, so the monster will have to be positioned correctly.

Blood Wind is fun to use and takes less time to charge, so I usually go with that. Wolf's Maw is also a good choice.

Extra Tips

  • Sharpness is Key
    • You do many attacks, so your sharpness goes down faster.
    • Go for weapons that have high sharpness, and get skills that reduce sharpening time.
  • Attack as many times as you can
    • Dual Blades is all about many attacks, so you will want to attack every moment you can.
    • Just be sure to pay attention and dodge when needed.
  • Focus on keeping high Stamina
    • Demon Mode constantly depletes Stamina, plus you use a lot from all the attacking.
    • Eat meals that raise Stamina before a quest, and have plenty of meat to raise stamina during the quest.
