Demon Mode/Demon Gauge and Archdemon Mode

The Dual Blades feature a unique gauge mechanic: the Demon Gauge. Filling this gauge activates Demon Mode, boosting your attack power, movement speed, evasion, and granting knockback immunity. Stamina depletes constantly in Demon Mode, ending the mode if stamina reaches zero or you manually cancel it.

Landing attacks in Demon Mode fills the Demon Gauge. A full gauge triggers Archdemon Mode, where the gauge depletes over time and is consumed by certain attacks, enabling devastating, gauge-consuming attacks. Both modes can be used concurrently. Importantly, the Demon Gauge stops depleting while mounted on a monster.

Demon Dodge

Following a successful Perfect Evade, Demon Dodge activates, increasing regular and elemental damage and allowing attacks while dodging. This buff lasts 12 seconds, with subsequent dodges during this period dealing additional damage as you spin forward.

Combos

Dual Blades combos revolve around Demon and Archdemon Modes. Mastering these transitions is crucial for maximizing damage.

Basic Combo

Chain three Triangle/Y attacks: Double Slash, Double Slash Return Stroke, and Circle Slash. A reliable combo for consistent damage. Alternatively, use Circle/B (Demon Flurry Rush – Spinning Slash – Double Roundslash) for rapid Demon Gauge filling.

Demon Mode Basic Combo

In Demon Mode, perform Demon Fangs, Twofold Demon Slash, Sixfold Demon Slash, finishing with Triangle/Y + Circle/B (Demon Flurry I).

Archdemon Mode Blade Dance Combo

With a full Demon Gauge (Archdemon Mode), initiate with Blade Dance (Triangle/Y + Circle/B), followed by four R2/RT presses for Demon Flurry I into Blade Dance II, culminating in Demon Flurry II and Blade Dance III. This rapid sequence delivers immense damage.

Mastering the Dual Blades involves seamless transitions between Demon and Archdemon Modes for optimal damage output.

Always Follow Up

Start with the basic Demon Flurry Rush combo (Circle/B x3), then transition into a full Demon or Archdemon Mode combo (Triangle/Y + Circle/B x3). This rapidly fills the Demon Gauge and unleashes powerful attacks.

Maintain Stamina

Demon Mode consumes stamina; conserving stamina is vital. While exiting Demon Mode recovers stamina, strategically using Focus Strike on wounded monsters helps fill the Demon Gauge while preventing stamina drain.

Dodge Between Attacks

The Dual Blades lack strong defensive options; mastering dodges is essential. The quick attack animations allow for strategic dodging to create openings. Avoid over-committing to attacks.

Sharpening is Key

Constant attacks quickly dull the blades. The Speed Sharpening skill significantly reduces downtime spent sharpening.
