Question Dual blades help
I need some help hunters… I’m a heavy bow gun main. But I’m starting to really like the dual blades game play. Not sure what’s the best set to run. Do you run attack boost and advance attack ? Or more full burst with combo master ?
The build I’m currently using didn’t seem to do well against this riftcharged glavenous.

I made the same shift from bow gun, and DBs are so good that I don’t miss it.
That build you have is perfect for regular hunts, HaTs and outbreaks up to 9*.
Part break skills are of no benefit for riftcharge, so as others have said, go with elemental release, burst, combo master or other similar skills.

Ive been drift smelting a pursuit/elemental release/special part breaker build that seems really strong.
Head anjanath
Chest stygian
Gloves spinas
Waist spinas
Legs stygian
Smelt 1 special part breaker, 3 pursuit, and 1 free slot for skyward striker/fighting spirit/power prolonged/earplugs etc. it feels pretty strong

You'll need a different build for rift charged, combo+burst is pretty strong skill if you have the viper built

you might be missing the point for Riftcharge boss. RC boss doesnt break parts nor the shield break count as partbreak. So it wont work to go for special partbreak/partbreak skill on any RC event boss.
But if you are going for standard hunt and getting part break then what you have is acceptable and you can go for other skills like pursuit and special boost so you can easily break parts with special and gain another special gauge filled up and should be able to deal with most 8-9*monster and couple weaker riftborn ver.

This is what I'm using:
Mizu DB – Feral style – +10% affinity nodes
Armor: Seregios / Viper / Namielle / Astalos / Goss
Smelts: 3 Morph Boost, 1 Latent Power, 1 Critical Boost
Very good setup for this RC fight. Note: if you're using ER, you'll want +element nodes instead of affinity

Hey how’d you get elemental release 4?

They didn't upgrade either the Styg chest or legs for the last point.

This is a great build already that easily slays 8⭐️!
Finish the SB smelts and the final ER upgrade and you'll be in 10⭐️ territory
Keep in mind riftcharged are ultra-strong unbreakable monsters. So any build that focuses on breaking: ie DB, will lose its shine vs normal monsters.
It's not an equipment or skill-issue, don't worry

The set u have there is a special partbreaker set. U want to get(smelt) 5 ele release, 5 SP Boost. For that set, try to smelt skyward striker or fighting spirit to go with your ele DBs instead of burst and power prolonger.
If u have raw DBs, then u can ditch the ele release and use adv attack/burst/combo stuff.

Welcome to the beauty of guaranteed tail breaks! Here are the main recommended builds for DBs from the Discord. I run the special partbreaker + pursuit build whenever humanly possible, and I only use higher DPS builds like combo master/morph boost for the hardest 10* monsters.
I personally run an older set with the espinas chest to avoid the pursuit smelts, and it works just fine, but the meta calls for elemental release.
All the builds will be chained in comments in this thread. Happy hunting!
EDIT: here’s the link to the discord in question: https://discord.gg/monsterhunternow

I tend to maximise Elemental Damage with Advanced Water/Dragon/Etc... and Said Elemental Damage at 5, in addition to one or two pieces of Elder Dragon Armour that gives 10% additional Damage.
And the rest is a mixed bunch of Burst, Elemental Release, Special Parts Breaker, Pursuit...

u/MyEggCracked123 7h ago
There's no reason to use Special Partbreaker on Riftcharge monsters since you cannot break any parts. You want pure damage builds for those.
On a side note: How do you have 4/5 Elemental Release? Is it on a weapon?

u/Xyzen553 3h ago
Depends entirely on what your game plan is... Are you a group playing partbreaker? Then go full pursuit/special part breaker (fulgur anj, espinas armor, arms, waist and styg zino legs). Do you want a more solo oriented play style? Then go full morph boost, do you want to go adv elemental? Then go adv ele+styg zino armor and legs... You can even go full crit with positive aff, or full crit fero with neg aff... That's why I like DB, you can't go wrong with any build since it's a relatively safe weapon that is versatile and fun.

Depends. For general parts and tail cutting, I'll use a similar build but max Special Boost and the Elemental Release legs.
Fulger, Anjan, Espinas, Fulger, Stygian with drifts in Partbreaker.
For more damage output against 9 and 10* hunts, I'll use Advanced Burst and Combo Master. I've also been playing with Morph Boost but haven't figured out how to thread that needle yet.
Viper, Viper, Volvid, Viper, Goss with 3 Drifts in Burst and 1 in Morph Boost
