Mastering Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds
Dual Blades specialize in lightning-fast combos and mobility. Understanding their two combat modes - Demon and Archdemon - will maximize their potential in any hunting scenario.
| Input | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Triangle/Y | Double Slash/Circle Slash | Fundamental combo starter. Initial press executes Double Slash, with follow-up triggering Circle Slash. |
| Circle/B | Lunging Strike/Roundslash | Forward-moving slash attack. Repeated input chains into Roundslash. |
| R2/RT | Demon Mode | Enhances attack power, movement speed, and evasion while preventing knockbacks. |
| Triangle/Y + Circle/B (Demon Mode) | Blade Dance I, II, III | Chained powerful attacks consuming Demon Gauge. |
| Triangle/Y + Circle/B (Archdemon Mode) | Demon Flurry I, II | High-speed attacks exclusive to Archdemon Mode. Directionally controllable with analog stick. |
| Cross/A (During Modes) | Demon Dodge | Enhanced evasion move. Perfect timing grants attack capability mid-dodge with temporary damage boost. |
| L2/LT + R1/RB | Focus Strike: Turning Tide | Precision wound-targeting attack enabling aerial combos against vulnerable monster parts. |
Understanding Demon Modes
The Dual Blades' unique Demon Gauge system offers two transformative states. Demon Mode enhances combat capabilities at steady stamina cost, while successful attacks build the Demon Gauge for Archdemon Mode. When mounted, the gauge pause allows strategic planning.
Strategic Dodging
Demon Dodge rewards precise timing with temporary damage amplification and offensive dodges. The 12-second buff window creates openings for aggressive follow-ups.
Optimal Combos
Effective Dual Blades play revolves around fluid transitions between modes and attacks:
- Fundamental Chain: Triple Triangle/Y for consistent damage
- Gauge Builder: Circle/B Demon Flurry Rush combo for rapid Demon Gauge buildup
- Demon Mode Assault: Enhanced basic combo finishing with Demon Flurry
- Archdemon Barrage: Mode-switching sequence alternating Blade Dance and Demon Flurry for maximum damage output
Pro Hunting Tips
- Combo Continuity: Seamlessly transition between basic attacks and mode-specific combos for sustained offense
- Stamina Management: Balance Demon Mode use with wound attacks to optimize gauge building without exhausting stamina
- Evasion Focus: Leverage superior mobility to avoid attacks while maintaining pressure
- Blade Maintenance: Prioritize sharpness preservation through skills or timely whetstone use
