Twin Striker Melee

Twin Striker Melee is a class of weapon, an all-out offensive weapon type encompassing Dual Dagger weapons. The Twin Striker's specialty is speed and mobility, using short range weapons with high attack frequency, high damage over time, and high mobility, in exchange for limited Break Power. Instead of blocking like Guardians and Executioners, Twin Strikers can Parry an incoming attack to, if successful, avoid damage and immediately riposte with a staggering attack. Parrying costs some stamina, regardless if an attack was parried or not.

Twin Strikers also specialize in taking advantage of the Heat of Battle - not only do they build their combo multipliers quickly, but they have an exclusive higher multiplier cap compared to other weapons, able to access a 300% multiplier at 20 hits instead of the default 200% multiplier at 10 hits. All melee weapon types have native +10% damage mitigation.

The Twin Striker's weapon mechanic is Blade Dance. Every fourth consecutive melee attack builds a Flourish point, up to a maximum of three points. Using a heavy attack will perform a Flourish and cash out accumulated points, if any, with the strength of the attack changing depending on the number of points:

  • 0 Points: A weak spin attack.
  • 1 Points: Deals moderate damage and grants a small window of invulnerability during the attack. Also grants a 15 second Weapon Power buff.
  • 2 Points: Performs a powerful direct attack, refreshes Weapon Power buff, and grants a small window of invulnerability during the attack.
  • 3 Points: Performs a powerful area attack, refreshes Weapon Power buff, and grants a small window of invulnerability during the attack.

Each Flourish point spent also builds the Blade Dance meter, and when topped out, unlocks the weapon ability. Using the weapon ability not only performs the ability but also triggers the Blade Dance, causing all weapon attacks to hit twice for a short period of time for as long as the meter lasts.
