1-Dual Blades are one of the seven weapon types in Monster Hunter Outlanders at launch, and the fastest confirmed weapon in the roster. Official material describes them as delivering rapid hits and empowering the wielder with Demon Mode, and the whole kit revolves around two stances and the gauge that connects them.

33 Demon Mode
44  
55 Demon Mode is the entry state. It strengthens attacks and fills the Demon Gauge, so the mode both improves output and generates the resource that leads to the next state. There is no confirmed cost stated for entering it.
66  
77 Archdemon Mode
88  
99 Archdemon Mode is the second state. It enables enhanced attacks that drain the Demon Gauge, inverting the relationship of the first mode: where Demon Mode builds the gauge, Archdemon Mode spends it. The weapon therefore runs as a cycle, filling in one state and burning down in the other.

1111 Flowing Assault
1212  
1313 The stated play pattern is to use agility to chain attacks in a flowing assault. Combined with the mobile control scheme, where a combo executes from a single button press, this makes the Dual Blades a weapon of positioning and state management rather than input density.

2020 Two Adventurers carry Dual Blades, and they are the clearest example of how the same weapon splits between characters. Both are classed as Disruptor.

Some skills unlock enhanced follow-ups, overwhelming targets with an unending flurry of slashes.RayaUses swift, agile blades and slips past attacks with fluid, dance-like movements. Some skills consume stamina to build her Demon Gauge faster.
2323 Raya's skills interact directly with the weapon's core resource by trading stamina for gauge, while Keres extends the combo chain itself. Raya was also offered as a pre-registration milestone reward with the rarity label SR, which is discussed on the Release Date and Platforms page.
