Dual Strike is a strike skill. It attacks an enemy using both weapons at the same time, gaining more damage and critical strike chance against enemies at full life, and can only be used while dual wielding melee weapons.

Skill Functions and Interactions

  • Dual Strike requires a weapon on both hands and can't be used while unarmed.
  • Dual Wielding: Dual Strike attacks with both weapons simultaneously, averaging the attack speed of both weapons and combining the attacks of both weapons into a single hit. Both weapons will roll their damage values and their accuracy and critical strike checks separately, then combine the expected damage of both weapons. It is possible to miss or crit with one weapon, but not the other.
    • On-hit effects will only check the result of the final hit.
    • Any ailments applied by the skill will scale off the final hit.
    • The final hit is considered a critical strike as long as one of the weapons rolled a crit.
  • Dual Strike uses the longer weapon's range of the two.
