Best Playstyle For Dual Blades In Monster Hunter: Wilds

Dual Blades, one of the best beginner weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, with rapid combos and Demon Mode agility

The initial damage of the Dual Blades is somewhat lower than other gear, but their swift attack rate balances it through repeated hits. In Monster Hunter Wilds, this setup emphasizes the Hunter’s agility, letting players strike during brief openings and then reposition safely. It rewards those who value fast moves and precise timing.

Because of this attack speed, the Dual Blades support status effects that lower enemy stats and simplify fights. Players familiar with a similar style in other games can replicate it in Monster Hunter Wilds to weaken foes and improve crowd control, making this approach suit those who prefer consistent hits and controlled debuffs.

Demon And Archdemon Mode

The unique mechanic of the Dual Blades is the Demon Mode, which can evolve into Archdemon Mode during combos. By pressing LT/R2/R, players gain a damage boost, faster movement, and access to a new Dodge and this feature increases potential and offers a way to push offensive capabilities beyond standard limits.

In addition to these perks, attacks in Demon Mode transform into new animations that add damage and speed. They also raise the Demon Gauge, which enables a shift into Archdemon Mode upon exiting Demon Mode. This form keeps enhanced mobility and the improved Dodge, though it tweaks some moves for further impact, which is great for players who like to play solo.

Although it is an enjoyable and powerful approach in Monster Hunter Wilds, this Dual Blades feature comes with a drawback. Entering Demon Mode accelerates Stamina loss, making resource management crucial for success, so, mastering this balance stands as a key skill for anyone who chooses the weapon in the Action RPG.

How To Use Dual Blades In Monster Hunter Wilds?

One main priority at the start of any battle in Monster Hunter Wilds is to fill the Demon Gauge quickly, which is not difficult. Hunters should chain strikes in succession, but avoid moves that drain the gauge, such as Blade Dance or Demon Flurry. This method preserves the resources for heavier fights.

Players must also manage the Stamina Bar, since Demon Mode grants a large buff but demands careful timing and resource awareness. Switching between these styles extends their advantages throughout the fight. Also, this habit allows more control over each encounter and keeps certain battles easier by preserving key resources and limiting downtime.

Timing a perfect evade while Demon Mode or Archdemon Mode is active grants a small damage effect and triggers Demon Boost, a bonus that adds even more impact to well-timed moves.

This Demon Boost is not a true third form for the Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds but a short buff that lasts around 12 seconds. It heightens damage and empowers each Dodge to deal the same effect as a perfect evade, creating a window that can turn the tide of a fight.

Those who want the most from the Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds should focus on Dodge mastery, alongside Stamina management and smart positioning. A well-timed evade avoids damage and raises offensive output through extra effects. This mix of safety and aggression marks the core of skilled Dual Blades play.

Some meals can increase the character's stamina and should be used to maximize the performance of Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Tips And Tricks For Playing With Dual Blades In Monster Hunter Wilds

Although managing this weapon’s Stamina may feel tricky at first, a few tips can boost Dual Blades performance in Monster Hunter Wilds. Applying these ideas in combat helps maintain high DPS, avoid enemy strikes, and keep the Demon Gauge filled. Such an approach leads to smoother battles and steady offensive pressure, like using a Long Sword.

Do not forget Focus Mode: Whenever a creature’s weakness is exposed in Monster Hunter Wilds, consider using Focus Mode attacks with the Dual Blades. While in Demon Mode, these moves suspend the usual Stamina drain yet still contribute to raising the Demon Gauge. This tactic merges offensive momentum with efficient resource management and faster combo potential.

Alternate Between Demon And Archdemon Mode

Newcomers to Monster Hunter Wilds should remember that Demon Mode and Archdemon Mode are not meant to be used until they fully expire. Balancing both forms keeps them active for longer stretches of the fight. Demon Mode trades Stamina for an increased Demon Gauge, while Archdemon Mode eases Stamina management at the cost of slightly altered moves.

Pay Attention To Weapon Sharpness

One constant factor for Dual Blades users in Monster Hunter Wilds is the need to watch weapon Sharpness. These blades strike more often than most gear, so frequent sharpening keeps damage steady. Items with the Speed Sharpening skill reduce Whetstone time, making them vital in any Dual Blades build that aims for sustained offense.
