DB is my most played weapon so here is some extra info :p The Archdemon Mode flurry does more total damage than the Demon Mode Blade Dance, and can be interrupted. Piercing Bind can be used in any direction, you can turn around using it and then keep attacking facing that way. With 3 wirebugs, you can tower vault, press x, tower vault, press x... Again and again while in demon mode and stay airborn for a very long time. Going for the spinning blade dance every time you are midair is a bad habit. It will get you killed often and is also a loss of dps on toppled monsters. Demon flight has insane motion values for DB and Iframes. Making Demon Flight + Aerial combo a very powerful combo. A, wait for apex of your jump, X, wait to land, X, X, X. Then you can loop into an other Demon Flight. Feral Demon Mode reduces stamina consumption and gives 20% Attack. You can skip the animation by entering it while airborn. You can cancel the ending animation of Piercing bind with a dodge forward, which is great with Feral Demon Mode. Piercing Bind, dodge, Blade Dance. You can spin trough prety much anything with the right timing on Shrouded Vault. Including Roars, Rajang Beam, Teostra Nova. ETC. You can also use it when out of stamina, like after doing 3-4 Aerial Blade Dances in a row. Land and Shrouded Vault to safety. Always keep a Wirebug for Shrouded Vault, you do more damage alive and on your feet than with one more Piercing Bind but dead.

If you X immediately after Demon Flight you'll do the X at low altitude, then land and X attack just twice before going into Demon Flight again. This way you'll maximize DPS, Flight , avoid getting hit because of the long animation, and have more control. Also it works with every monster even if they have lower weak point.

Just some extra things I have to share about dual blades since I use them a lot: - The final hit of the demon mode x-combo gives A LOT of meter for arch demon mode. - Demon flight has a dummy thicc number of s. (Your invincible pretty much the entire time spinning upwards) If timed right, its an easy way to ignore roars and other attacks as well. - Tower vault can be used in the air - I'm not 100% sure, but I tested it and from what I've seen, tower vault also has s when used in the air. - Feral demon mode's starting animation can be cancelled by activating it in the air - In demon mode, if you have 3 wirebugs, you can stay in the air indefinitely by chaining the aerial x-attack into tower vault.

So far you have the easiest weapons guides I've found. Much easier to digest the info and get comfortable with after watching your videos. Thanks and keep up the great work.

I was looking all yesterday for a decent video for dual blades, you sir are the man.

Hey, DB main here and I gotta say great guide you cover most of what the weapon has to offer. However, as you said, you don't tend to play DB so I think that there are a few things that you missed. -Demon dodge/demon slash dodge, these moves will replace the dodge when in demon or archdemon, (the slash dodge will only occur in feral demon mode, not archdemon.) This will move you the same distance as the dodge roll that all weapons have however it comes out much faster and can be quickly chained. Chaining this will quickly get you out of harm's way with little danger but eat up your stamina very quickly as well, think of it more like a boost than a dodge, as using this will speed you up greatly. Imo good usage of this dodge either makes or breaks the weapon for me thus why this part is so extensive. -Range, ever wonder why dual blades mains trip people so much instead of attacking the tail like they're supposed to. Well excluding that the head is always a much better hit zone for all weapons than any other part of the body, even though cutting weapons should do more damage to the tail. It's also because DB often can't hit the tail, when the monster is standing the tail is most of the time out of reach and when it's down the damn thing flails around so much that you do about 50% damage with your demon dances. This also applies to piercing bind, which is why you always want a good opening. Although I believe the way capcom handles hit zones, tripping, weapon types, and tails in general is not that great it is the cards we've been dealt. (To cutting mains, try not to trip others, attack wherever you want as long as it's not in other peoples way) (and to other weapon mains that complain about being tripped *cough* hammer *cough* please just slot in flinch free it makes everyone's experience so much better.) Sorry for the tangent -Combos with piercing bind, piercing bind will put you back, and doing a demon dance here will make you do a fraction of the damage, other than the two you mentioned (flurry rush and feral demon mode) follow up a piercing bind with demon flight (specifically if the monster is not down) and demon dash (Much more useful if in feral demon mode) -Movement with demon flight, self-explanatory, while not as good for movement as flurry rush, demon flight does launch you forward and can be used for repositioning. -Movement with spinning blade dance, while midair doing a spinning blade dance will work as a sort of dodge, it isn't as good as a regular dodge, but makes ariel much more reliable. -Constitution/evade extender since you mentioned marathon runner I thought I would mention these, these two are my prefered DB skills that I include in every build I make (narga waist and tobi gloves specifically.) Evade extender combined with demon dash will move you at very high speeds, basically nullifying the downside of feral demon mode. Meanwhile, constitution allows you to use demon dash almost constantly, making it your primary source of movement. -Piercing bind damage, last one. Don't quote me on this but I believe that piercing bind does damage based on the number of times you hit the monster instead of the actual damage you do, this makes feral demon dash very effective. Secondly is something that I'm sure of, despite doing so much damage piercing bind IS NOT affected by elemental damage or critical hits, no matter the build it's still a good choice, but this does make tower vault much more useful.

@kerxiong8030

Through my play time it seems like piercing binds is based off of the damage you do right after binding the monster. I could be wrong but I see higher #s when I bind first, then demon mode and combo.

FYI- Tower Vault pairs really well with Demon Flight. You mentioned that Demon Flight requires a huge aerial commitment with how easy it is to do (which it does), and its really easy to just naturally go into it when you are trying to close a gap and you accidentally vault straight up into a attack. You can actually use Tower Vault in the air, which means that you can kind of spam demon flight without really any risk of being caught in air with no options. Pair this with Feral Demon Mode, and you can be incredibly aggressive in the air and do an absolutely absurd amount of damage, particularly since you will get more and more opportunities to spam the Beyblade/ Levi attack.

Perfect timing... I just made a dual blades build yesterday, but I’ve never touched the weapon. Thank you for the tutorial! 😁👍🏾

I founds this video at the perfect time. Just started playing with my friends and chose this weapon type basically at random. Ended up loving it and excited to keep playing!

great explanation for everything, thank you :D i want to start using this weapon and with your video, it gave me a lot of aspects of what i want and what i should do.

In Feral/Demon Mode, immediately press X after Demon Flight and you'll not perform the automatic jump attack but do the X at low altitude instead. Making it less frame commitment so you'll not get caught while airborne, and it actually does more DPS if you land, do X attack twice, then loop Flight combo again. You also can still press A away from the length of monster after midair X to do the downward spin so that it's not going into the spine spin, then immediately hold the stick toward the monster again to do Finisher that is easier to hit because of, again, the low altitude. In Arch Demon Mode, just do Flight > A toward longer part of the monster > Flight > loop to maximize Finisher damage. If the monster is down with its weak point next to a wall, I think this combo is the highest DPS you can do if you do Flight > A into the wall again and again.

Thank you! I tried starting with bow (never played any monster hunter game ever) and it was really hard, so I'm finding dual blades easier.

sword and shield and dual blades seem to be some of the better small weapons for newer players (myself included), but if you're on PC bowguns are pretty straight forward, hunting horn and hammer are also really solid choices for simple weapons to get started with. Lastly (in my based opinion) insect glaive is really good if you want to ignore allot of mechanics, including roars and stomps, due to constantly being in the air and having ear drums. Also helps ignore sharpness to some extent as while aireal attacking you will always do normal hits and they won't bounce. Hope this helps for some ideas on getting started!

I absolutely love the switch skills they gave dual blades. Feral demon mode is a great twist on our usual power up and the launching strike is a wonderfully fun way to play and lets the short ranged dual blades have the ability to hit high up parts easily.

Big man... came for the timestamps, stayed and subbed for the dope guide 🙌

Hey Rurikan, amazing video! I think though there's a couple thing worth mentioning with the dual blades that you didn't touch on. You mentioned that leaping attacks leav you open in the air but if you take the tower vault switch skill it can be used to dodge attacks if you're about to get hit midair Thats the advantage over just sheathing your weapon. Also as others have mentioned that leaping attack has I frames and can be used as a counter of sorts. Another great thing about dual blades is that you dash instead of dodge while you're in demon mode and arch demon mode, when you combine this with evade extender it can make you highly mobile even with the speed loss in feral demon mode, I think you can actually outdash the palamutes sprint.

@@emblemblade9245 tower vault does have i-frames, but only while used in mid-air.

The only time I used Tower Vault was when I fought the final boss the second time. After that, I ignored it completely. There are a lot of ways to get into the air for DB like you demonstrated and that makes it redundant imo. It's a tough sell. If only the switch skill would be something like a one-hit big damage move, then it could help us with sleep bombing which DBs are not very good at. Feral Demon Mode is somewhere between 18%~20% Raw boost I believe.

I don’t play a lot of dual blades but my favorite weapon design is the Wyvern lovers from the Ratholos tree so I mess with them from time to time because I love how that weapon looks. I find for switch skills I like tower vault over piercing bind since I can get into the air without sheathing and I tend to wiff the bind a lot. I also like tower vault because demon flight like you said is very monster dependent as I don’t always want to be sent into the air so tower vault gives me the option while getting to keep demon flurry rush. Feral demon mode wins strictly for the attack boost and the hit while dodging is a bonus.

If you demon flight from archdemon mode you can tower vault swap to demon mode mid air doing another spin and allowing you to spin down the spine refilling your archdemon. Which you can repeat and spin up to the front of the monster if you have bugs or just demon flurry them in the butt. Tower vault also gives you an added layer of protection since you are vulnerable right after falling back to the ground for a second and with vault you can jump over sweep attacks and such.

9:11 interesting little shortcut here, after you hit X + A to start the Demon Flurry Combo, you can actually just hit X for the other two parts of the Demon Flurry combo. 19:02 with your Demon Flight to X (Midair Roundslash) combo, if you are fast enough, you can actually add and A (Midair Spinning Blade Dance) at the end. if your positioning is right you can fly right into the Beyblade. Some other interesting aspects to Dual Blades is that if you are in Demon Mode or Arch-Demon Mode and you Demon Dash (B) off a ledge you will preform a Midair Spinning Blade Dance. if you hit the monster during this, more often than not, you can enter into Beyblade from that attack. In Demon Mode the X combo is the fastest way to build meter.

I really didnt feel this weapon in World when I tried it, but desperate to play elemental in Rise I tried them again and they feel super badass, if a little out of control with demon flight jumping you around constantly

Great tutorial! Thanks

Tower Vault can be done in the air, so it's a good evasive option for while you're there.

the animation for feral demon mode is much shorter on start up in the air, so when you approach you can start with a zL +x launch then go into fdm then hit x or a for an attack.

So, I personally suggest regular demon mode for the aerial play style. Your main goal with the aerials is to find openings to spin on the monster and that extra movement speed helps keep you safe and find those openings. Feral meanwhile is fantastic on the ground for max DPS and the bonus positioning from Demon Flurry Rush. Plus the piercing bind “combo” into feral demon mode. Also, arch demon modes x+a seems to deal much more damage than blade dance in demon mode.

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not, but one thing to note about Demon's Flight is that it's pretty darn fast at getting monsters into a mountable state without having to expend wire bug charges. Usually a single flight will be enough to make a non-target monster mountable while target monsters take 2-3 depending on how many hits you land. But that aside, (Levi) Flight is definitely more useful on larger monsters as it gives you some much needed verticality...which honestly is the majority of them so you'll want to keep it as your standard skill. Swap out for Flurry Rush for smaller stuff like Great Wroggi, Great Baggi, Lagombi etc. If you're trying to break certain parts of a monster for specific drops be mindful of which skill you use too. Flight is great for getting at heads, backs, wings and tails...especially on larger monsters...while Flurry is better for limbs and smaller monsters in general.

Piercing bind can work well with the demon flight switch skill. Especially if the monster has a long spine and tail but the opening is not big enough for the x+a combo. I also prefer speed over power. Makes it easier to flank the monster and let'em rip. Also don't forget the aerial x attack that doesn't make you spin along the spine. With this you can hit the face of Goss Harag and similar monsters. With demon flight it's best to first activate demon mode then engage. By doing this you have more control over whether or not to stay on the ground or go up in the air. You don't want to accidentally do a draw attack into demon flight. For feral demon mode the Zr is also an attack so maybe initialize feral demon mode when up close with an opening.

1. Thanks for the tips in this video as a new player I like this a lot 2. I prefer percing bind personally, but thats because I don't really like the aerial mode, other than bayblade of course

Tower vault has been useful for me with demon flight, in demon or archdemon mode you can still activate demon flight, which makes this move super useful as a vault into the air to achieve ridiculous horizontal movement. It's not quite insect glaive, but it's almost as quick as using the sheathed Lt+x wirebug move then an EEx3 dodge, which is wildly useful as a re-engagement technique to chase without interrupting DPS with a sheathe

If you can fit enough stamina and evade extender skills into your set, dashing would let you get from the item box to the dummy in about a third of the time, and would also make feral demon mode 100% more viable than standard demon mode.

You can tower vault after you used demon flight and X, so you can use X again, and then repet tower vault and X, after that you can finish with A (levi's atack) all than without touching ground.

ty for the guide!

This whole time I thought Piercing Bind was a projectile attack. I've been soooo confused as to why it didn't work sometimes even though I was facing the target....Well I feel dumb. Thanks for helping and explaining!

About Tower vault, if you do the normal midair attack while in demon mode you can chain a tower vault after it into another normal combo into the spin or another vault into normal into spin as it charges so fast. Also, I'm not 100% sure but it feels like it has i-frames on startup that normal wire moves do not have, works very well with Demon Flight. It is possible to jump mid fight while putting away the weapon but having tower vault also gives you options while having access to the counter as well but because you were in the training mode you couldn't show off the wire counter. Specific stuff I know but just something to note because we all have varying play styles

This video is really nice for combos with DB, I do wish it touched on good sets or buffs you should have with the weapon or what to avoid. I'm coming over looking for a good second weapon to get into after bow (figured I should get both stamina devouring weapons)

Demon flight to the beyblade spin is great for repositioning.

I got this little design nitpick about the gauge I wanna share. You got two swords in that gauge, but only the front blade is used. They missed the opportunity of making use of the back blade, make it glow to show you're in demon mode instead of just an outline glow. Front blade functions the same way it does, building up meter for arch demon mode.

I think one thing people might be missing about switch skills such as tower vault, hail cutter, hunting edge, shrouded vault and power sheath, is that they function very similarly to their default function when your weapon is sheathed. Why is this important? Because it can help players the input to commands they want to do even if it's not necessarily correct. For instance, if you press (zl + a) with the dualblades/greatsword, you may not always do a wiredash, but since your weapon's switch skill clones the function of a wiredash the result is almost identical. The same can be said about skills like tower vault, the default function when your weapon is sheathed is it throws you up in the air, but some switch skills do very similar things. I think this is very much on purpose and it's help reinforce these wirebug shortcuts, something that new players might end up ignoring by instead using (zl+zr) to wirebug, but they are actually very useful shortcuts to input wirebug maneuvers in a pinch.

It exactly feels like levi is slashing trough everything 🔥

Dual blades have never felt sexier than they do in this game with the new switch skills lol

Cant believe i caught this vid the day it went up. I was just playin db and looked up a tutorial

Small note about piercing vine. The damage piercing vine doesn't stack :(. What I mean is normally when you deal damage with piercing vine active, it will amplify the damage when piercing vine ends, however you can't use the final hit of piercing vine to amply the damage of a newly activated piercing vine. This means chaining piercing vines together is more or less pointless, kinda disappointing because it would have been cool to chain 2 or even 3 piercing vines together to deal massive damage, but in its current state it's better to wait for a piercing vine to end before applying a new one.

Just finished my Levi cosplay so this is perfect timing for me to get better at dual blades😄 love the vids!

Usually i dont play db but theyre looking pretty fun in rise

thanks man

That is a nice ass layered set

Thank you for finally making this ruri. Now i have a easier way of teaching my girlfriend how to play dbs since i dont play the weapon.

If you decide to use demon flurry rush instead of demon flight (maybe you're fighting a small monster to staying grounded might end up dealing more dmg), you can just press X A X A X A etc and do an infinite combo while repositioning constantly. You can be dealing continuous dmg for like 30 secs straight or something. Works even better if you have blast on your weapon.

Demon flight is good for every monster. If you do the cartwheel when you launch up it negates the issue of going over the monster

I'm pretty sure demon flight gives you invincibilty or super armor on the rise up but I might have to retest it. It was either the rise up anim of Flight or the aerial X attack. Edit: Tested it. Turns out I was simply going above the hit box for damage but it does ignore strong roars so you can use it as an opener when you start the fight

Demon flight eats a monsters hurt box because it has higher priority. It means if you time the impact, you dont take damage. It worked exactly the same way as Aerial in GU, except way better because it doesnt replace your dodge and doesnt do the stupid roll if you miss. You can test the invulnerability against huge vertical hits, like Naruga tail slam and come out unscathed.

I know super old video, but one thing I'm surprised no one has mentioned is that so long as you keep attacking, even if you run out of stamina you stay in (arch) demon mode. While of course this means you cant dodge, if you get used to openings and i-frames of demon vault and always have a silk bind available, it allows for ridiculous damage and makes dodging not as necessary (depending on the monster of course)

You actually get additional 50-odd attack in Feral Demon mode (about 20% I hear) - you can confirm it by checking your status.

I've been playing nothing but DB the whole game, yet here i am watching this xD but ig it's good to learn😅 personally, in fights i mostly just smash A to fly over the monsters back😂😂

I wouldn’t bother with hungerless, you can carry plenty of rations etc. Stamina surge recharges stamina quickly, constitution reduces “burst” stamina loss (so when an action drains a chunk of stamina at once, like evading or the midair demon blade dance), and marathon runner reduces gradual stamina loss (such as from running or the stamina loss from demon mode). It really depends on how you like to play DBs, but they all make a great difference. If you use midair demon blade dance a lot, constitution and stamina surge are ideal because that moves eats huge chunks of stamina. If you like to stay in demon mode for a long time while doing ground attacks, then marathon runner is my priority. I wouldn’t say you need to combine marathon runner and stamina surge ever, because just one of them fulfills stamina upkeep adequately and both is overkill. Lastly, if you evade a lot, constitution.

New to the Franchise: Started out with the Dual Blades on keyboard and mouse (I sucked). Moved to long sword on my xbox controller. I miss my dual blades as I feel like a tank that can DPS.

For going over the monster, you don't need tower vault btw. For the first switch skill (forgot the name, sry😅) there is an option that will do just that

Ok sorry, i commented before seeing you mentioned that😅 i personally use demon flight, bc i can get to weak spots on the big monsters

Very late to the party but one difference between demon and feral demon that I haven't seen mentioned is that feral demon mode needs way more hits to fill the gauge. Like more than twice as many. Debatable whether that's a pro or a con, just something I noticed when testing the weapon.

First MH game I played was 3. I picked up the dual blades without knowing anything about the game and went to hunt my first monster. I didn’t know about bringing food to replenish stamina. I didn’t know about sharpening my weapon (at that time, the whetstone was limited use and didn’t equip by default). I ended up with no stamina for demon mode and a blade as dull as a rock, trying to fight a monster that was way past my skills. It’s a miracle I still play monster hunter

Excuse my French but dual blades fuck. Your guide has helped tremendously and I currently main dual blades, secondary hammer, and third is gunlace go boom. Tysm for all of your guides!!!!!!

Hey rurikhan how can u wear two helmets like that? Can u teach me as well ?

You wanted people’s opinion on tower vault so here it is. I think it can be useful if you want to pull off the Levi move easily, however if you have demon flight , then I wouldn’t want towering vault on it as well. Since both get you into the air to do the Levi move, you probably don’t want both. I would prefer demon flight due to the extra damage you get off of it, but it’s really up to the play to pick their style of combat. It’s fun to see how all different kinds of people play the game differently. Even with the same basic combos there’s so many ways to customize and play that everybody can find something they enjoy.

I'm not sure if this change was made in Rise since my last MH game was Generations 3ds but i feel like the DB sauce meter takes longer to fill and lasts longer which i really like

Yeah, they changed that. Demon Mode also takes less stamina from you.

Ah yes Dual Blade & Wheatstone... My favorite combo since Original monster hunter

I can't figure out how to unlock apex rathian? I don't see a quest for him in regular fights or in rampage. How I get the quest to fight him?

You'll probably have to slay it in the rampage quests first and then it'll show up as a separate quest

i keep on seeing dodge attacks when using dual blade, any idea how to do that?

How did you get your attack buttons as X and A

Demon flight does have a brief invincibility frame

I just started and using demon flights shreds every monster dual blades op

And the attack in normal mode when the bar is field I feel like that was in world and I didn’t know about it because I was using circle 3 times and L2 and that dodge mechanic with the bug I was wondering how to do that till you just did it continuing the vid

Thank you for recommending a channel right when I was most frustrated with your tangents and clear lack of train of thought. Hopefully they organize a bit better.

Just open your stat menu when you go into feral demon mode to see the attack change

I don't have this game so it makes me curious, when you speak about stamina management is Dual Blades different here from World in the sense that as long as you constantly attack while in demon mode in World your stamina is irrelevant? That's what I always did in World anyway, my stamina would pretty much always be gone but as long as I was consistently attacking it had 0 affect on me. Is that not the same in this game?

The problem with doing that is your lack of mobility after. In order to even walk away you have to wait for an animation taking you out of demon mode and dodging is literally nonexistent. Even in rise if you're caught out with no stamina against any of the elders or the apexes and even some things like diablos or tigrex then you're pretty much screwed and there's nothing you can do about it any more cause all your options for escape are also tied to your stamina

@@AdamG3691 How does bow even work in this game? I haven't used bow in any serious capacity since 3U, when you were supposed to always pick ones with charge 3 as Rapid, and run around charging up before shooting. Basically Greatsword but ranged. How does it work now?

@@mb9484 starting in World they did a massive overhaul of how bow works. Charge levels are still there, but it's no longer just the "hold to increase charge" method, instead you can hold your shot, fire a shot, or dodge, and you will increase your shot level. In addition, if you're at max charge, the ONLY action that will drop you back to charge level 1 is to either do nothing, or to start a new charge. Dodging, readying an arrow during a dodge, or using a power shot will increase or maintain your current charge. This results in a playstyle where you charge to full, fire, do two power shots, dodge, shoot while dodging, power shot x2, dodge, shoot while dodging, power shot x2 repeat until you're out of stamina. Essentially, you need to be able to keep aiming at the weak point whilst dodging and doing power shots. It's a very simple playstyle to talk about, but DAMN it's fiddly to pull off (especially without gyro, since you need to use A to do power shots, meaning no camera control stick use)

@@AdamG3691 Wow, that is a huge change. Will take a lot of practice to readjust myself if I try Bow, but it sounds more fun!

2:45 "Boom demon mode gotta go fast naruto run lesssgooo dannaaaan" got me good 🤣

IMO the dodge attack in feral demon mode more than makes up for the speed loss as so much of your time as a DB user gets spent dodging around attacks.

Dude what controller mode do you use?
