One set you could go with is the Master Swordsman's Set, which is designed to work well with Dual Swords, and greatly increases the viability of Sign of the Cross.ĭual Swords come in two types, and they either scale B+ Skill, C+ Strength and D+ Heart or B+ Skill, C+ Heart and D+ Strength (Heart and Strength are switched).įor more information on scaling and speccing see Weapon Scaling Tables.Ichigo Hitofuri & Oyako Toshiro is one of the Dual Swords in Nioh 2. Dual swords scale very well with the skill stat, so if your Build has high Skill, consider using this Weapon type. This is because Dual Swords are economical in terms of Ki consumption, because they require Toughness for their long combos, and because Toughness improves their blocking capabilities further. In terms of stance, it's best to use Mid Stance or Low Stance, and use those to trigger God of Wind or Moon Shadow, or go into High Stance to trigger Cherry Blossom or Windstorm.Ĭontrary to what you may think, Dual Swords are most effective when wearing armor with a lot of Toughness. You could also opt to perform a Grapple, then land a charged up Sign of the Cross. My preferred way of knocking the horns of a Yoki or Namahage is the High Stance strong attack. If you paralyze someone with Medusa Powder, you're more or less guaranteed to get two Grapples out of it (may require a certain Ninjutsu Power level), as the paralysis keeps building during the Dual Swords Grapple. My preferred Mystic Art is Firm Resolve.ĭual Swords work very well with Paralysis. You can also still get Tachi Arts and Sign of the Cross, but that's basically it, as I don't consider the other Dual Swords attacks to have much value.

Unfortunately you can't get the full God of Wind combo until you're an Adept, and you can't get Moon Shadow until you're a Veteran. God of Wind is just a very good pair of combo enders, which can also sneak in some Break and Ki damage. But Moon Shadow doesn't deal much damage or Ki damage if the enemy isn't guarding. You can then go for a Grapple or a Killing Strike, as you see fit. The Break damage is so high that enemies are often knocked out of Ki in one hit, or two hits max. You can trigger it when your attacks are deflected by a guarding enemy, and what happens is: you circle the enemy, and then you deal massive Break damage. Moon Shadow is one of the best moves that the Dual Swords have. A must have for Dual Swords is the God of Wind combo, which you must learn in order to acquire Moon Shadow.
Demon Thrust is basically a quick stab from guarding position, a humble attack really, but it's handy. Windstorm is a high damage attack with multiple hits, which also functions as a crowd control attack. I'm not a huge fan of the basic attacks on High Stance, and feel you really need Cherry Blossom and Windstorm to make it viable. Another Skill you can get right away is Demon Thrust, which is a handy L1+Square counterattack, which unfortunately only works on Mid Stance. For High Stance you can also get Windstorm, a very good L1+Triangle, which unfortunately only works on High Stance. One good Dual Swords skill you can get right away is Cherry Blossom. Which is unfortunate, because Yokai form the largest of the two groups.
Dual Swords are also notably more useful against Humans than against Yokai. If you want a fast high DPS weapon, you should probably go with the Tonfa or Kusarigama. They're not in fact the high DPS, high speed weapons you may want them to be. The philosophy behind the Dual Swords is that they're very good for blocking, and consume very little Ki. Descriptionĭual Swords are weapons that are very defensively oriented, and I myself am not a huge fan of the Dual Swords moveset.
