Dual Wielding

"I am the demise who comes from the distant summit, the one who splits earth and sky with two blades."
― Edelweiss (Rakudai Kishi Eiyutan)
"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)
"Double katana is the only way to play!"
― Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003)

The ability to master wielding two weapons simultaneously, either innately or through training. Sub-power of Weapon Proficiency. Lesser version of Multi-Weapon Wielding.

  • Daishō
  • Double/Dual Weapon Fighting Intuition/Mastery/Proficiency
  • Twin Weapon Fighting

  • Synch Blade (Kingdom Hearts)

Capabilities[]

Users, either innately or through training, are capable of wielding two different weapons with ease in combat (i.e., a sword and shield, katana or a broadsword, and commonly twin swords). 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 multiple enemies at multiple angles, allowing them to fight and take advantage of wide openings. Users wield twin weapons like Sais, guns, twin sword (they look exactly the same), etc. Other users also wield two different weapons at the same time as a sword and shield or two different kinds of swords.

However, due to possessing two weapons at the same time, the user often bears poor defensive 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.

Limitations[]

  • Two-handed strikes may be difficult to land.
  • Defensive capabilities may be slightly weakened.
  • Wielding two different weapons may be difficult.
  • Those who are undeveloped with this ability could become heavily reliant on their weapons rather than their own skill.
  • Using two weapons requires more thought into attacks and range, making it difficult for thoughts on both to operate.
  • Dual wielding may be cumbersome as each hand must now handle the full weight of each weapon as opposed to both hands sharing the load of a single one.
  • Two weapons of equal length could get in the way during melee exchanges.
  • May require a degree of training or exposure.
  • May take time to achieve mastery.
