Dual-wielding inElden Ringchanges the way players approach the game. It’s a high-damage, high-risk playstyle that rewards gamer’sknowledge of boss patternsand enemy attacks. But pulling it off is the cathartic feeling of a lifetime.
Elden Ring: 10 Best Talismans, Ranked
From the Green Turtle Talisman to Radagon’s Soreseal, these are some of the very best talismans in Elden Ring.
A player can achieve powerful dual-wield builds with elemental, bleed or just brute power setups. Below are ten of the best weapon pairings for dual-wielding, ranked by utility,power, and most importantly, aura.
10Dual Bloodhound’s Fang
Bleed Them Dry
Bleed is the name of the game when a player dual-wields The Bloodhound’s Fang. The weapon is a curved greatsword that scales well with Strength and Dexterity. Combo chain attacks on bosses PvE or style on real players in PvP while building loads and loads of bleed. It does require NG+ to beat Bloodhound Knight Dariwil twice or a friend drop, but boy does it look cool.
9Gargoyle’s Halberd & Golden Halberd
Holiest of The Tarnished
While not thebest looking dual-wieldon the list, this play style offers a new and powerful way to battle across The Lands Between. Scale that Strength, scale that holy damage and let loose with some slow but powerful colossal hits. The Golden Halberd can be gained through the Tree Sentinel boss in Limgrave and the Gargoyle’s Halberd is farmed from the Valiant Gargoyles in Leyndell Royal Capital.
8Dual Godskin Peeler
Peel Away Your Foes
This build’s strategy lives up to its awesome name. This popular mix is used for its combo of bleed, fire and physical damage. Often paired with the Seppuku Ash of War, the double Godskin Peeler lives up to its namesake with bleed damage. The Godskin Peeler can be obtained by defeating the Godskin Apostle in Dominula, Windmill Village in Altus Plateau, so players will have to unfortunately have a friend drop the item or get this build going in NG+.
7Serpent-God’s Curved Sword & Blasphemous Blade
Blasphemy Never Looked So Good
You have to have faith with this combo. The Blasphemous Blade heals the user with each enemy defeated scaling with Faith, thanks to the Taker’s Flames weapon skill. Paired with the Serpent-God’s Curved Sword, which scales with Faith and deals poison damage, The Tarnished creates a healing, elemental damaging and status-effecting whirlwind of trouble. The Curved Sword can be found in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and the Blasphemous Blade can be gained by trading Remembrance of the Blasphemous with Enia, thankfully not requiring NG+ to obtain.
6Dual Uchigatana
Double Samurai
Double ronin style looks cool on players looking to scale Bleed and Dexterity. The Uchigatana offers a great balance of speed and damage and the bleed buildup with a potential infusion of Ashes of War makes it adaptable to different builds.
Elden Ring: Every Twinblade, Ranked
Here’s every twinblade in Elden Ring from worst to best, based on their effectiveness in combat.
The Tarnished can also take advantage of this early in the game. If a player starts in Samurai class, acquiring a second Uchigatana early in the game allows players to dual-wield. The second Uchigatana can be found in the Deathtouched Catacombs in Stormhill, Limgrave.
5Dual Falchion
PvP Master
Theoriginal PvP slayersince Dark Souls can be doubled up to cause mayhem. The Falchion’s fast, spinning, successive strikes are great for crowd control, making it ideal for clearing groups of enemies or multiple invading players. It’s also attainable early in the game and does not require max stats, making it an easier combo totry on this list.The player can farm these as a drop from Falchion-wielding Demi-Humans.
4Giant-Crusher & Prelate’s Inferno Crozier
Big Boi Bonks
Time to get payback and feel like the giant, overpowered bosses The Tarnished constantly fights. This colossal weapon duo delivers huge damage, with The Giant-Crusher absorbing incoming attacks for a powerful counter and The Prelate’s Inferno Crozier adding fire damage to create a slow but awesome combo of physical and elemental jump attacks. The Giant-Crusher can be found in a chess south of Outer Wall Phantom Tree and The Crozier is a drop from the Fire Prelate inside Fort Laiedd.
3Dual Reduvia
Dueling Dual Reduvias
Looking for a super-powered rogue build? Look no further than the dual-wielding Reduvia setup. Behold, two fast daggers that bleed their enemies into a pulp which scales well with Dexterity. Another great reason to use these two red menaces is the Reduvia Blood Blade’s weapon skill, which fires a projectile that causes bleed buildup from a distance. It’s also a PvP monster, where taking opportunities for quick successive hits is necessary. Reduvias are dropped by Bloody Finger Nerijus.
2Dual Great Star
Be An Elden Ring Star
No NG+ needed to carry two imposing great stars in The Tarnished’s fists. Scale faith with flame affinity and land those jump attacks for a build which will heal the player and bonk your foes with spiky justice. The weapons also start with innate bleed, making them immediately a good choice when opting to pulverize your foes. The first Great Star is found on a carriage in Altus Plateau while the second is gained by invading Magnus the Beast Claw in the Writheblood ruins.
1Dual Bandit’s Curved Swords
4-Hit Wonder
This combination is well-known and beloved for a reason among Elden Ring players across The Lands Between for a reason. Few weapons hit as hard as the Double Bandit Curved Swords jumping attack, potentially landing four hits which can be combined with the Claw Talisman, Winged Sword Insignia and Thorny Cracked Tear to quickly tear down those long red health bars at a rapid pace. These Curved Swords can be dropped by Skeletal Bandits in Limgrave and Altus Plateau.
