Dual Wielding

"Perhaps you would like to learn something before you die. The use of two blades, one to support the other, can be traced back thousands of years and was common to both of our species. The invention of lightsabers has done nothing to lessen the effectiveness of this strategy—as you are about to learn"

- Boc Aseca to Kyle Katarn (Star Wars Legends)

The ability to use two weapons simultaneously. Sub-power of Weapon Proficiency. Lesser version of Multi-Weapon Wielding.

Also Called

 * Akimbo
 * Double/Dual Weapon Fighting Style/Proficiency

Capabilities
The user is capable of wielding two different weapons with ease in combat. The weapons in question are normally bladed weaponry and/or firearms, but it can be virtually any melee and/or ranged weapon. Because of this, the user is able to deal twice the damage to their opponent quickly, swiftly, and effectively. They're also able to hold their own against mulitple enemies at multiple angles, allowing them to fight and take advantage of wide openings.

However, due to possesing two weapons at the same time, the user often bears poor defense skills, so this ability requires speed, power, accuracy, and fast reaction time in order to maneuver through and counter their enemies' attacks in order to make up for the lack of defense.
