The Bonus Update introduces a new aggressive comfort skill: Blood Awakening. While seeming like a gimmick, this skill shines in Anomaly hunts when dealing with Bloodblight.
This build uses three pieces of Primordial Malzeno armor and two pieces of Risen Kushala Daora. In these armor pieces are comfort skills such as Wirebug Whisperer and Wind Mantle, which help greatly in bringing out the Shrouded Vault switch skill when countering or I-framing monster attacks, and Constitution for stamina management. You can use Dash Juice to help reduce stamina drain when using Demon Mode. All three levels of Blood Rite and Partbreaker are present to hasten the activation of Blood Awakening. Further damage skills are provided as listed above to strengthen your overall damage. The Silver Slicers Dragon Dual Blades boost the health you gain from Blood Rite and Bloodblight, which makes it a good pair with the build's core skill Blood Awakening. This build is a late bloomer in a hunt due to it requiring breaking parts and Bloodblight to be fully effective. The Dragon Conversion build is still the best for dealing elemental damage, since the element here relies heavily on the element increase of Blood Awakening. You can at least safely recieve some Bloodblight by making use of Intrepid Heart, which significantly reduces damage and nullifies knockback when filled. Either augment your armor to gain it or augment for an extra slot to fit in another jewel! |

In Free Title Update 5, the heavenly armor of Amatsu descended from the skies. Three pieces of this armor introduced a new skill; Heaven-Sent. This skill bestows its users powers when they manage to not get caught in any attacks. At level 3, it negates stamina depletion and sharpness loss. This is perfect for Dual Blades users, making it possible to stay in Demon or Feral Demon Mode the whole time you're fighting while keeping your sharpness up! Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax's armor skill, Dragon Conversion, converts elemental resistances you get from attacking with the Blue Swap Scroll to elemental damage when you switch to the Red Swap Scroll. This is a powerful skill to use with elemental builds and for weapons that are able to land hits continuosly. Be sure to start fights with this build with the Blue Swap Scroll first and switch to Red only when the elemental resistance logo appears at the top of your health bar. Also take extra care when fighting with the Red Swap Scroll as your elemental resistances will all be 0. For affinity, we optimized skills like Latent Power, Weakness Exploit, and, thanks to TU5 introducing it as a decoration, Bloodlust. With all of this activated, it is possible to deal 100% affinity on weakspots. To further increase this damage, we also slotted Attack Boost and Coalescence. |

| *Note: Depending on the talisman you have, you will have skill variations in this build, as shown in the previous section above. For a Normal Talisman, equip a Mighty Jewel and a Physique Jewel. If you've acquired the recommended talisman with Agitator as its secondary skill via Qurious Melding -Vigor, equip a Challenger Jewel and a Chain Jewel to further boost this build's damage values. In Free Title Update 5, the heavenly armor of Amatsu descended from the skies. Three pieces of this armor introduced a new skill; Heaven-Sent. This skill bestows its users powers when they manage to not get caught in any attacks. At level 3, it negates stamina depletion and sharpness loss. This is perfect for Dual Blades users, making it possible to stay in Demon or Feral Demon Mode the whole time you're fighting while keeping your sharpness up! With the infinite stamina provided by this skill, we slotted in Maximum Might to contribute more to DPS. TU5 also introduced the armor of Risen Shagaru Magala, with the unique skill, Frenzied Bloodlust. This skill allows you to have one extra wirebug after overcoming the Frenzy Virus. The build is also equipped with the Wind Mantle skill and a level 3 Wirebug Whisperer from the Risen Kushala Daora Armor. Combining this all of this will grant you access to a lot of wirebugs, making Spiral Slash or any Dual Blades silkbind attacks more readily available. Unleash the Dual Blades full potential! With Maximum Might, Weakness Exploit, and Bloodlust, the build is equipped with lots of affinity! For this reason, we focused on adding more to raw and element values. This build maxes out Attack Boost and Critical Element, has 2 levels of Burst (maxed out with the right talisman), and a single point in Coalescence. All in all, every Dual Blades combo will surely be 'heaven sent'. |

| Title Update 4's new Dragon Conversion skill finds its potential in fast-striking weapons that can dish out tons of elemental damage. This build encourages an offensive playstyle with viable defensive options.
Any high-damage elemental weapon with at least an affinity of 0% is fit for this build provided it has at least a ② slot and a ③ rampage slot (if it is only a ② rampage slot, augmenting it with a Rampage Slot Upgrade is recommended.) If you take an Ice weapon, Rimeguard Greaves provides Ice Attack Lv. 5 as a bonus. Raising your elemental attack through Dragon Conversion is this build's main feature. With Furious, +5 resistance to all elements is added when using the red swap scroll. More elemental attack can be gained out of this setup through jewels for Element Attack Lv. 5, giving a 20% and +4 increase to elemental attack. Defense Boost Lvl. 5 or Elemental Resistance Lv. 3 can be used instead if you are using an Ice weapon since Ice Attack already exists. Adjust per monster weakness accordingly! For utility, Stamina Surge takes care of stamina management while Evade Extender has been added for better movement options. This makes dashes more fluid, which helps greatly in evading large AoE attacks by monsters such as Risen Teosta and chasing with attacks for Dragon Conversion against fast moving foes like Furious Rajang. This works well with the Slide Slash Combo switch skill. For added counter options, Demon Flight and Shrouded Vault switch skills are recommended. Eat elemental resistance dangos for more elemental attack conversion (as they each give +10 resistance without a Hopping Skewer). Mind the resistance cap when you do so! With 25% affinity from Critical Eye, 50% from Weakness Exploit, 5% from Affinity Boost augment, and the initial 15% from Daora Soul, you should have at least 95% affinity on weak spots (80% if you have Elembane instead.) With Latent Power's 20% affinity active, affinity goes over 100%. |

| This is a dual blades build that focuses on status effects and uses both Risen Teostra and Risen Chameleos parts. At most, you will have 95% affinity against weakspots. You can easily fit in either a Blast or Poison weapon in this build!
Weapon sharpness is easily maintained thanks to Master's Touch Lv. 3. Damage and weapon status effect is maximized through the combination of Attack Boost, Buildup Boost and other damage-boosting skills. When using poison dual blades, you can swap out 1 Critical Boost for 1 more Foray to get extra 10% affinity on a monster is poisoned. For comfort skills, you can slot in Evade Extender for better movement (this can be swapped out for other skills like Constitution, Stamina Surge, and Marathon Runner). Speed Sharpening has been included shorter sharpen times and Flinch Free whenever you need to reduce monster knockbacks or weapon knockbacks in multiplayer. |

Build Notes
| Build Merits and Notes |

| Our Meta DPS build for the Dual Blades in Sunbreak's Title Update 3! We slot in the new Strife skill from the Chaotic Gore which allows us to hit 100% affinity with any weapon provided that it does not have any negative affinity due to Strife's 10% affinity bonus from having any red gauge in your HP. Note that we do not need to hit Strife's maximum effect to get the 100% affinity from this build. 95% of the time, you will take damage during the hunt. With our defensive skills in the form of Powder Mantle and Intrepid Heart, you are incentivized to hold off on healing to maximize the uptime of your red gauge without the risk of fainting. The build also features a healthy mix of DPS and sharpness skill such as Attack Boost Lv. 4, Critical Eye Lv. 7, Weakness Exploit Lv. 3, Critical Element Lv. 3, Critical Boost Lv. 3, Element Exploit Lv. 1 (for high elemental weakness monsters) and Master's Touch Lv. 3. This allows us to hit hard continuously without pause. Lastly, with TU3, not only do we gain Powder Mantle for extra safety/DPS, we also gain the new Elder Dragon blessings as level 1 decorations! We add these decorations into the build to further increase our elemental damage with the exception of the Thunder DBs having no Elder Dragon blessing. In the case of Thunder DBs, we can slot in some comfort skills such as speed sharpening or Defiance to offset the emptied level 1 decoration slots. |
Powder Mantle is both an offensive and defensive skill that allows you to deal burst damage to enemies or take explosion damage instead of the monster's hit.

This is the thunder elemental build for TU3 that features the new Chaotic Gore Magala armor set. However, it is separated from our general elemental build as this build features a different setup utilizing Handicraft to make use of the weapon's innate purple sharpness and push it further. With the Berserk skill, we can entirely focus on aggressive plays by going for Blue Scroll or Berserk state where our HP slowly depletes but we can never faint as long as we have a red gauge. We support this mechanic by utilizing the aforementioned Handicraft skill then supporting it with Master's Touch to maintain our Purple and eventually, white sharpness to avoid DPS loss for the entirety or majority of the hunt. Just make sure to watch your HP and fall back to recover if your red gauge is about to deplete. |

Another Berserk set but unlike our thunder set, we utilize the new level 1 Elder Dragon blessing Gems and replace Handicraft with Foray due to the sharpness levels of our chosen weapons with both shredders (Magma and Mud) only reaching white sharpness or thin purple sharpness by investing Handicraft so we forego those skills and focus on adding more DPS via Burst into our kit. Take note that the Daora/Frost build is also a great weapon for the handicraft set and its build setup can also follow our first build depending on the player's preference. |

| This build is focused on having a stable starting MR10 build viable up to MR100. Afflicted Materials for certain weapons and decorations here can be obtained from A1 Anomaly Quests.
Per elemental weapon, there should be at least a ③ or ② rampage slot to accomodate for Elembane or Anti-Species Jewels. Should there be an extra ② decoration slot in the weapon, Burst would be a good skill to put in since it adds to elemental damage during consecutive attacks. For getting Elemental Attack Lv. 5, 2 ④ decoration slots and 1 ① decoration slot are made available to fit in Element Jewels+ 2 (or Hard Element Jewel 3) and Element Jewel 1. Make sure to change your jewels to match your weapon element! Critical Eye Lv. 7 gives 40% affinity and Weakness Exploit gives 50%, making your affinity on weak spots at 90%. Critical Eye Lv. 5 should still be fine if you don't have Lv. 3 for your talisman yet (making the lowest with a 0% affinity weapon 75% affinity.) There should be enough affinity to cover the effectiveness of Element Exploit Lv. 3 and Critical Element Lv. 3, both which are essential for elemental builds. For utility, both the Constitution and Evade Extender skills are great at improving the overall movement experience (Evade Extender can be adjusted to your preference). Windproof Lv. 3 is already present in the Rathalos waist and will help in mitigating wind pressure. The Speed Sharpening skill helps minimize downtimes during sharpening. Flinch-Free helps lessen knockbacks from monsters and other hunters' weapons in multiplayer. There are no limitations in what switch skill to use with this build. For suggested switch skills, Spiral Slash, Shrouded Vault, and Demon Flight are great picks to set to your scrolls. |

| This MR10+ build that makes use of poison status and high affinity. With the combined pieces and decorations, this build sits at 80% affinity against weakspots and reaches a maximum of 100% affinity with Foray active.
To maintain high sharpness, Master's Touch is maxed out. Speed Sharpening is included for quickly recovering sharpness in the heat of battle. The 60 seconds of non-degrading sharpness from Protective Polish Lv. 2 is already an added bonus thanks to the Espinas Vambraces. Poison status and attack is boosted by Poison Attack and Status Trigger. By applying poison status quickly, we can also get Foray to give an additional attack boost to your weapon. For comfort, Evade Extender has been included. This can be swapped out for Constitution, Stamina Surge, or Marathon Runner at a moment's notice. You are free to use any switch skill, but we recommend having Spiral Slash, Demon Flight, and Slide Slash Combo for damage options, and Shrouded Vault for a good counter option. This build does not require qurious armor crafting and can be used as a climber starting MR10! Should qurious crafting be desired, you can trade in Ballistics and Rapid Fire Up for better skills since these only work with ranged weapons. |

| This is an economic build that focuses on an aggressive playstyle without ever needing to sharpen during an encounter. The combination of Avidya Blades's 40% affinity, the 40% of Critical Eye, and the 5% of Affinity Boost Augment Lv. 1 (summing up to a total 85% affinity), has the weapon almost always staying at purple sharpness due Master's Touch Lv. 3 applying at almost every strike. This is improved further with 100% affinity on weakspots thanks to Weakness Exploit.
To maintain high damage, we have Attack Boost Lv. 7 and Critical Boost Lv. 3. Since you will find yourself sharpening only after a fight, Speed Sharpening Lv. 1 will suffice. You can fit Defiance Lv. 5 to ensure that you are neither disturbed by roars, tremors, and even wind pressure when fighting enraged monsters. For comfort, Evade Extender is present in this build. This, however, can be swapped out for either Constitution, Stamina Surge, or Marathon Runner. You are free to use any switch skill, but we recommend having Spiral Slash, Demon Flight, and Slide Slash Combo for damage options, and Shrouded Vault for a good counter option. Feel free to adjust this build as needed since it requires no qurious armor crafting! When making an attempt at qurious armor crafting, you can trade in Razor Sharp, Spare Shot, and Quick Sheathe for better skills since there are already enough comfort skills in place. |

All level 1 elemental gems can be replaced with ease to change the build's elemental damage focus making it adaptable for multiple types of hunt provided that the necessary elemental weapons are equipped. |

Best Skills and Explanations
Best Damage Skills
These skills make it possible to deal extra damage! Aim for these skills for maximum DPS to defeat those monsters easier and finish those quests faster!
| Best Skills | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Weakness Exploit ★★★ |
A staple skill for any meta build. Increases your affinity when hitting weak spots by 50% at max rank, increasing your DPS significantly. |
| Element Attack ★★★ |
Sunbreak featured buffs for elemental damage, most notably on Dual Blades. Max out this skill to increase damage against monsters weak to a specific element and watch your numbers go up! Fire | Water | Ice | Thunder | Dragon |
| Critical Eye ★★★ |
More damage and Critical Element is also reliant on affinity so make sure to raise this stat when playing Dual Blades. |
| Critical Boost ★★★ |
Amplifies critical strike damage, increasing your DPS on high-affinity Dual Blades builds. |
| Critical Element ★★★ |
Amplifying elemental damage is the next step to increasing your damage output as an elemental Dual Blades player. Critical Element is similar to Critical Boost for elemental attacks and having it is near critical especially for the end game monsters and quests! |
| Burst ★★★ |
Fast, continuous hits let this skill shine to its full potential, something the Dual Blades often do! Max this skill out or put in at least a level to feel a jump in your DPS. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Element Exploit ★★ |
Amplify your damage against monsters weak to a specific element with this skill. A single point of it is enough to deal significant damage. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Attack Boost ★★ |
Increases attack power. This skill is a lesser priority as most of the Dual Blades' damage come from elemental attacks. If you must, aim for at least 4 levels. |
| Status Trigger ★★ |
Make Status Builds even better with this skill, which allows you to deal status buildup on every hit after evading successfully! For best results, we suggest pairing this with Evade Window. Take note that Demon Flight does not activate this skill. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Buildup Boost ★★ |
Boosts raw damage every time a status buildup attack hits, which allows you to deal significant damage, especially with Status Trigger active. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 2 |
| Powder Mantle ★★ |
This skill from the Risen Teostra Armor provides your Dual Blades combos with additional blast damage every time it activates, contributing greatly to DPS. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 3 |
| Dragon Conversion ★★ |
When activated, this skill from the Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax Armor will benefit elemental builds, increasing DPS even further! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 4 |
| Dereliction ★★ |
Using the Red Scroll increases the Dual Blades' elemental and status effect values, improving overall damage. Just be wary of your health! Best paired with the Strife skill from the Chaotic Gore Magala Armor Set. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Bloodlust ★★ |
Overcome the Frenzy Virus to power up with this skill; best paired with Coalescence. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Foray ★ |
Increases attack power whenever a monster is poisoned, paralyzed, or blighted. Best paired with Status Trigger or Status Attack skills. |
| Status Attack ★ |
Only consider this skill when you want more status attack on your Status Builds. Blast | Paralysis | Poison |
Best Comfort Skills
These are skills that make managing weapon mechanics a lot easier. Damage is only part of the equation - taking time to slot in comfort skills that increase consistency & comfort will also increase overall DPS!
| Best Skills | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Heaven-Sent ★★★ |
From the heavenly armor of Amatsu, maxing this skill out will negate sharpness loss and grant you infinite stamina. Having this will give you more uptime on your attacks, increasing overall DPS in a fight! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 5 |
| Protective Polish or Master's Touch ★★★ |
Ideal sharpness-managing skills to have due to the Dual Blades' fast-paced attacks. Equip one or the other, depending on what's more suitable to your playstyle! |
| Constitution ★★ |
A great skill to have as it allows you to manage stamina better, especially during Demon Mode. |
| Stamina Surge ★★ |
Quickly replenish your stamina after using Demon Mode, which can help you get back into the fight faster! |
| Marathon Runner ★★ |
Longer demon mode duration is always great for DPS! |
| Wirebug Whisperer ★★ |
Maxing this skill out makes your Wirebugs more readily available, which will allow you to do more Spiral Slashes in a fight. |
| Frenzied Bloodlust ★★ |
The Risen Shagaru Magala Armor introduced this new skill. After overcoming the Frenzy Virus, it grants you an extra Wirebug on your arsenal. If you have 3 Wirebugs equipped, activating this skill will allow you to access 4. For the Dual Blades, this means more silkbind attacks, like the Spiral Slash. Synergizes well with Wirebug Whisperer and/or Wind Mantle. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 5 |
| Furious ★★ |
Activate this skill for a temporary infinite stamina boost, which lets you stay in Demon Mode longer. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Defiance ★★ |
Three levels of this skill prevent most roars, tremors, and winds from interrupting attacks. The Cornerstone Jewel is a level 1 decoration, so slot it in whenever possible! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Speed Sharpening ★★ |
Reduces a cycle for sharpening with each level. It is an ideal skill to partner with Protective Polish. |
| Shock Absorber Flinch Free ★★ |
Useful especially in multiplayer so no minor attacks can interrupt you or your team's combos! |
| Intrepid Heart ★ |
Whenever the gauge above your health bar is full, this skill can be useful in preventing monster attacks from interrupting your combos, making it possible to pull off an extra charged attack before you can regroup. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 2 |
| Wind Mantle ★ |
This skill from the Risen Kushala Armor will recharge your Wirebugs faster, allowing you to do more silkbind attacks with the Dual Blades. Consider this skill only when it's possible to build around it! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 3 |
| Embolden ★ |
Aside from the defensive boost, this skill also provides longer dodging invincibility. Slot this skill in only when possible! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 2 |
| Evade Window ★ |
Allows you to dodge enemy attacks more easily. Slot this skill in only when possible! |

Anonymous about 2 yearsReally important thing for the berserk builds, they should aim to have kushalas blessing at level 4 to reduce the health drain and i feel like there isn't enough detail for the berserk skill like things that should go with it, examples are super recovery dango and immunizers to help reduce the heakth drain. all of these are really important things that are missing
