Hey guys, I hope this guide helps you understand DB's in Sunbreak better! As I explain in the video, this is not a guide on the basics of DB's such as combos and mechanics, so keep that in mind. On-top of that, the builds used in this video are unfinished, you can expect to see even better numbers than you see in this footage in the build video, coming soon!
Great video, lots of stuff i didn't know yet, glad i checked it out. I have question though, regarding your claim that element is always better: Even in monster cases where element hitzones are comparatively terrible? There a quite a few of those in Sunbreak as opposed to World for example that just have low hitzones even on their weakest element. The first one that comes to my mind is Astalos, where his weakest element (ice) hat values of only 5% to 15%. As a comparison, a hitzone value of 25% is considered an elemental weakpoint required for the Elembane Rampage Decoration to activate. So my question here would be, is element optimal for monsters like Astalos even though his elemental hitzones are only half of that of other monsters with 'real' weaknesses?
Main bow in world and DB in rise, must say that running after a lots os items to progress each power spike is not the funniest thing, that's why I used HH to get to rise end game and only then made my DBs, not doing the same mistake I did in world lol, I prefer to hunt what I want not what I need.
Mention for the drill. If you're going for tail cuts check the monsters tail hit zone before departing. If it's to low grab a mud beetle. Increases the hit zones and tails will come flying off.
This is the only thing that needs to exist. I am forever in debt for this upload. I am literally sister crying. I can only hope this information spreads thousandfold amongst the heavens. I am truly ascending, and this is the single best thing to have ever come in contact with me.
Personally even though I'll start making elemental builds, I'll never stop trying to make blast blades work. It's raw dmg no matter the element (usually) so I wanna make it work + with how many attacks DB can do it should proc more often.
Slide slash has a backslide, it also gets more distance with evade extender and if you have ariel db it can be triggered by triangle (ps4 controller) instead of Circle.
Final boss armour set is AMAZING with dual blades. Simply deco in the elemental attack jewels as well as Crit boost and the required Crit eye to get to 40-50% affinity. Does amazing damage it’s crazy
@10:30 you can also do 2X(triangle) attacks and then spin, this works even if you've ran out of stamina and still need to reposition, then you can exit demon mode after another attack, the combo ending in the demon rush, you can exit demon mode right after that and then do the arch demon rush and back into demon mode. as for the combos dual blades have so many combo extensions and lead ins/out for demon mode youre gonna need details like these for the "ultimate" guide, a re-title to dual blade guide to get you started works better.
I really love the new options for DB in Sunbreak. I was already loving aerial DB for basically giving me the same feeling I had when I first tried Insect Glaive in 4 while also giving me the pure satisfaction of grinding on the back of monsters like a sideways helicopter just like in World. A recommendation though for DB users who are lazy like me and don't feel like making 5 different builds, Chameleos Dual Blades. Use basically the same skill setup as you would on any basic DB build with your WeX and Crit Eye/Boost/Chain, add the posion boost skill, then slap Chameleos Soul in the rampage slot. You may not out damage a DB with the appropriate Elemental weakness, but you will do very respectable damage AND you can easily keep even the most resistant monsters poisoned basically the entire fight which makes the damage even nicer.
I'm coming back to the game as I wait for wilds and already have played world A LOT. Wanted to pick up a new weapon that I've only lightly touched. Glad you guys made this video back when I first thought about switching off charge blade for once, glad it's still here when I definitely wanna try something new.
Oh perfect timing for the video. I was currently building my Master Rank dualblades set. Been trying to do Hellion Mode and Furious in one set. And I think I finally just figured out how to make it work. Using the Daimyo Dual blades that have just the tiny blip or purple sharpness to work with protective polish. Then Furious Rajang head, arms, and legs for Furious. Pyre Rakna chest, and Sailor Skirt. This also gives Wirebug whisperer 3 and maximum might to use with the infinite stamina.
@@SeekerBaracadeous you can check it on your own too. activate arch/demon mode and check your status. or also compared the cat paws pre sunbreak hellion mode description with the current rampage deco
You guys content is epic...checked the 3rd fleet podcast and I'm glad I came across your channel coz I main duel blades...your videos are helping a ton
Yo, this was eye opening! 👀 35% element in Demon mode is crazy!! I knew about the raw increase and doubling of feral mode to get archdemon mode. I also didn’t know about the kunai only being affected by raw. Really good info here. I'm def a ground user btw
I love all three of your guys' tip/trick guides. Would love to see something for IG from ya, or a suggested place to look. feels like it would be similar to this, lots of (semi) fast hits
Of note, spiral slash is terrible when fighting Teostra. Teostra is a very blocky monster with some really bad/small hitzones. You'll whiff so much if you try to use this silkbind on them. This video was very informative, and actually inspires me to switch up my settings. For people looking for decent armor choices I recommend taking a look at the storge set from shagaru, the bonuses inherit to that set are very good for dual blades having affinity boosts, elemental boosts, stamina use reductions, and even crit element.
Lol, thank you so much. I was running elemental aerial with archdemon, and had no idea about the difference in element v raw bonuses. Definitely top level tips 💜
Just started dualblades the other day after seeing the striff skill gives infinite stamina on the chaotic magala set I put evade extender 3 on that and it is insane how fast you can zip around, im outrunning palimutes! And while its not dmg the ability to instantly be outside of a monsters roar distance on reaction is amazingly fun
thx for the information / I wasn't knowing if chain hit was good for it and, I didn't know about the demon mode having a lot more elementale boost than feral
for downed monsters ive been using the combo of demon dance into spiral thrust on repeat since they cancel each others end animation lag. But idk if its worse DPS wise to just demon flight into spiral thrust combo that was showed in the video
while having the slide slash equipped (or anything I'm not sure) if you keep the analogue stick tilted backwards you while not in demon mode you do a jumping slash backwards
I need cotton’s expertise on hunting horn sets. Right now I’m using a mix of anjanath x and ingot x. It’s got a lot of firepower. A horn to use would be nice too. I’m still using a high rank naracuga horn 😂
Yes! I'm am ecstatic since i am a dual blade main. Super fun to play, always feel like I'm dominating Edit: I think the side slash combo for DB is very situational and dependent on the size of the monster. Too small and you just glide out of the way
I personally Made my own build on mostly S. Magala items with the coil from the endboss for chaincrit and some gems for razor Sharp, the skill that gives boosts when on red HP Bar etc. So bloodlust, coalesence, resentment, razor Sharp, chaint crit, crit Element and the skill for red HP Bar xD Bloodlust is insane for dualswords
I'm glad that element DB or elements in general are really good now. I hope it will stay that way throughout Sunbreak. I'm kinda tired of always ending up with the best raw build that overshadows everything else.
I felt like such a fool sleeping on ironshine silk but it really is one of the greatest additions nobody asked for. Now you dont have to go out your way for sharpness based skills (like razor sharp, masters touch or protective polish) because you can keep your sharpness up just by, well, playing as normal. this means more room for pure DPS skills.
Idk I still think piercing bind may be stronger because it has less time commitment, so you get normal attacks in as well in the time you would have still been drilling.
2:41 brings a good point to keep Red Scroll with Dereliction and Demon and have Blue Scroll with Dereliction and Feral. iirc Red Derel buffs the element while Blue Derel buffs Raw and Stun. Too bad we don't have a Dual Element DB with Exhaust and an element. Maybe Blast/Ice Teo/kush DB would work?
And that's what my gripe is right now with dbs. I dont mind element builds, but I enjoy using the statuses as well. It's a bit dumb that element was the only thing made busted, at least show love to the statuses. Of course that's just my opinion.
Thanks for these informations but you forgot something I think. We also can use the dodge withe the new switch skill for your sharpen like that if you don’t have wirebugs you can use the dodge 😉
I replayed Rise on PC and used DB for the first time ever. Man those things are sticky. If you are good you can literally never stop until the monster dies. Damage was a bit low tho. Looks like even that is fixed now. 10/10 perfect weapon design.
I've been playing db using mostly comfort skills and the final bosses' dbs without any crit and was still able to get around 15min clears. It's not the most efficient way to play but I've got basically infinite stamina and are nigh unkillable. Didn't fail a single quest so far and the way to mr70 was a breeze because I can dodge forever :D It's really a nice alternative to max dps style, especially for lazy people like me who don't wanna bother switch skill swapping or babysitting stamina at all times. The elemental buffs sound interesting tho, gonna look into that and maybe squeeze a bit more damage out of my build.
2:58 My question for DB mains is; While in Archdemon Mode, and then you enter Demon Mode/Feral Demon Mode, Does Demon Mode/Feral Demon Mode stack with Archdemon Mode's elemantal/status boosts? I feel like it does stack together. [Demon Mode + Archdemon Mode = 55% Elemental & Status Boost] [Feral Demon Mode + Archdemon Mode = 20% Attack Boost + 20% Elemental & Status Boost]
When I did my first MR rathian in sunbreak took me about 30mins with thunder charge blade, did again with dragon dual blades and took 12mins. I just thought it's because I'm more use to roll dodging than blocking
Hold up. Those are the valtrax weapons?! Dude! They look just like the ones from World when you kill Nergi! I love those things! Makes you feel like a real monster when your hands look like that!
When I started I though since I was a duel blade main there was a build were you could do like 50 at highest but it does 100 damage which will prob be nerfed
Having 5 build for each different element is not as hard a people think. Just swap the jewel to the desired element and change your weapon, the rest is the same. Elemental Jewel are easy to make
Those Claw Dual blades are amazing!!!! Can't wait to get it. What monster did you get it from? Currently MR6. Love this video can't wait to try these switch skills!
It's so hard to figure this game out on Xbox... it seems all the videos have shit in it from the DLC we don't have and I can't even figure out what goddamn patch it's on compared to the OG version. Just makes a already daunting feat of trying to get into this game as a newbie even more daunting lol
Tips for mediocre/new Dual Blades players: DON'T do what I did back then and ACTUALLY USE THE AERIAL MOVES. Alright, I get it, it's hard to use sometimes and Spiral slash has a 50/50 chance to either deal a butt load of damage or do dog water damage, but trust me, its worth it. ESPECIALLY when you're fighting really long monsters like Narwa The Allmother, because when you use demon flight, the longer the monster, the more damage you do. And plus, its how you get advantage over the full potential of what the Dual Blades can really do. Don't use Blade Dance when the monster is still standing. Unless the monster isn't moving cuz its exhausted, paralyzed, trapped, or knocked down, DON'T use Blade dance. 90% of the time, if you use Piercing Bind on a monster and rush in for the Blade Dance, the monster moves before you finish attacking and either makes you waste 5 seconds standing there with the long animation or it knocks you over possibly killing you.
Astalos helm, chest and arms, squire belt and tobi boots After filling gems I have max Elem attack, stam surge, crit eye, CB, WEX, crit Elem, 3 con, 3 stun Res and 3 speed sharpen Maybe lose some con if a slightly worse talisman but hope this helps anyone
Hey ragegaming, can you please go over all the builds and if this message does find you, go down from best to worst that way more people will be given what they need
After trying out so many time on so many monsters. Feral Demon mode is still stronger than Demon mode, even in elemental build (Spiral slash focus build) This is my build 7 Cri Eye 3 WEX 3 Crit boost 3 Crit Element 5 Element 3 Chain Crit 4 Atk boost Feral + Spiral does more damage than Demon + Spiral even with +35% elemental. I feel like +35% elemental still does nothing. Anyone has any different result? Lets share
Great video! One question: 8:40 If you already maxed out on Critical Eye and WEX (which gives a total of 90% crit rate on weak points), would you really need Chain Crit? Or is Chain Crit only for extra raw attack damage at that point? I'm asking because otherwise you would be very limited to certain armor pieces.
I think the only reason areial was better dps is if you really knew how to use it. Where I feel as a ground dB main I'm almost never not hitting the monster with proper stamina and all that always preferred it xD Seen some crazy little glaive wannabes though haha
Sorry for the really newb question, but I am super new to the game. How are you getting airborne ? I cant seem to get in the air to make sure my silk bind skill is landing.
How effective is hellfire cloak considering both shrouded vault and spiral slash would leave behind hellfire I assume. Probably not meta but alot of fun if it works

I thought that was your voice, haven’t heard it since I used to watch you play paragon. Great to see you still at it!
thanks a lot for the content, your videos inspired my to play DB, so I will patiently wait for builds that can enhance the experience
Is chain crit better than attack 7? I'm currently running with attack 7, agitator 7, weakness exploit, and critical boost as my offensive skills.
can you link those guides you did a shout out for? I'm trying to find info to give to my friend on, and both yours and theirs would be appreciated.

7:40 , “downside is that you need multiple builds for each element.” All this means is you have more to do and more reason to play!
@@user-dm7ui6zx2u Also drastically slows down progression to keep building new weapons rather than just hunting.
Main bow in world and DB in rise, must say that running after a lots os items to progress each power spike is not the funniest thing, that's why I used HH to get to rise end game and only then made my DBs, not doing the same mistake I did in world lol, I prefer to hunt what I want not what I need.
dual blades will always be my favourite weapons, aerial is the closest we are gonna get to the tonfas
Mention for the drill. If you're going for tail cuts check the monsters tail hit zone before departing. If it's to low grab a mud beetle. Increases the hit zones and tails will come flying off.
You can also use any monster that has a water attack during wyvern riding to apply waterblight if you can't find a mud beetle.
I'm so glad Yuki got the credit he deserved, I've watched his speedruns for over a year for set and playstyle inspiration.
I agree.

Oh, so THAT'S why I get yeeted so far with a Slide Slash!
I like Evade Extender too much, ha...
This is definitely going to help my friend with his duel blade skills thank you for the guide!
Thanks for the shoutout guys, I appreciate it.

You get it. Bravo. I'm gonna mix kushala and Gaismagorm gear.
@10:30 you can also do 2X(triangle) attacks and then spin, this works even if you've ran out of stamina and still need to reposition, then you can exit demon mode after another attack, the combo ending in the demon rush, you can exit demon mode right after that and then do the arch demon rush and back into demon mode.

Hell yeah! Im still rocking my Chameleos DB
Reminder that you can set up specific scrolls for specific equipment loadouts just like having specific radial menu setups for specific item loadouts.
Woooo! Finally! I've been searching all over for some sunbreak dual blade guides!
Get in the habit of keeping elemental silkbinds on red scroll and physical on blue, in case you ever want to start using Dereliction

Hellion rampage deco nerfed the skill from 100% affinity down to 20%
Wait it did? Boy I did not know that. That feels kinda useless then. Where does it say?
@@SeekerBaracadeous SDShepard did a video on the details and testing behind rampage decos
@@mhk6943 Alright I'll probably go check that out then. Thanks for the info. Well I guess the set still works if I swap some stuff thankfully I think.
@@SeekerBaracadeous you can check it on your own too. activate arch/demon mode and check your status. or also compared the cat paws pre sunbreak hellion mode description with the current rampage deco
Honestly can’t wait for the Dual Blades build video. Much thanks.
I maimed db in Rise and didn't know about the element modifiers on dm and fdm. I have been taught something valuable, thank you.
You guys content is epic...checked the 3rd fleet podcast and I'm glad I came across your channel coz I main duel blades...your videos are helping a ton
A great, well spoken, & thorough guide!

Lol, thank you so much. I was running elemental aerial with archdemon, and had no idea about the difference in element v raw bonuses. Definitely top level tips 💜
Thank you!! I was looking all over the internet for a dual blade guide, it felt like I wasn't doing nearly enough damage
Just started dualblades the other day after seeing the striff skill gives infinite stamina on the chaotic magala set
I put evade extender 3 on that and it is insane how fast you can zip around, im outrunning palimutes! And while its not dmg the ability to instantly be outside of a monsters roar distance on reaction is amazingly fun
thx for the information / I wasn't knowing if chain hit was good for it and, I didn't know about the demon mode having a lot more elementale boost than feral
The slide slash combo also has a backslide if you pull the stick back.
Only in Archdemon
@@reiverdaemon Nope it's in every mode. That was the first thing I tried when I found that out.
for downed monsters ive been using the combo of demon dance into spiral thrust on repeat since they cancel each others end animation lag. But idk if its worse DPS wise to just demon flight into spiral thrust combo that was showed in the video
while having the slide slash equipped (or anything I'm not sure) if you keep the analogue stick tilted backwards you while not in demon mode you do a jumping slash backwards
Thanks for the spiral slash explanation. I was wondering why my spiral slash got no dmg. Now I know its need to be aimed at 45 value parts.
I need cotton’s expertise on hunting horn sets. Right now I’m using a mix of anjanath x and ingot x. It’s got a lot of firepower. A horn to use would be nice too. I’m still using a high rank naracuga horn 😂
Yes! I'm am ecstatic since i am a dual blade main. Super fun to play, always feel like I'm dominating
Edit: I think the side slash combo for DB is very situational and dependent on the size of the monster. Too small and you just glide out of the way
The slide slash has some s and moves you without using any stamina - a good way to proc ironshine too
@@RJWoodMoroseTenacity yeah I've been using it since and it is not that bad. It moves me out of the way most of the time
I need to hurry up and finish making my SnS because dual blades look AMAZING!!! 🎃
Hella informational, thanks a bunch
I personally Made my own build on mostly S. Magala items with the coil from the endboss for chaincrit and some gems for razor Sharp, the skill that gives boosts when on red HP Bar etc.
So bloodlust, coalesence, resentment, razor Sharp, chaint crit, crit Element and the skill for red HP Bar xD
Bloodlust is insane for dualswords
I'm glad that element DB or elements in general are really good now. I hope it will stay that way throughout Sunbreak. I'm kinda tired of always ending up with the best raw build that overshadows everything else.
I felt like such a fool sleeping on ironshine silk but it really is one of the greatest additions nobody asked for. Now you dont have to go out your way for sharpness based skills (like razor sharp, masters touch or protective polish) because you can keep your sharpness up just by, well, playing as normal. this means more room for pure DPS skills.
Idk I still think piercing bind may be stronger because it has less time commitment, so you get normal attacks in as well in the time you would have still been drilling.

So glad im a duel blade main 🤗
And that's what my gripe is right now with dbs. I dont mind element builds, but I enjoy using the statuses as well. It's a bit dumb that element was the only thing made busted, at least show love to the statuses. Of course that's just my opinion.
Thanks for these informations but you forgot something I think. We also can use the dodge withe the new switch skill for your sharpen like that if you don’t have wirebugs you can use the dodge 😉
I replayed Rise on PC and used DB for the first time ever. Man those things are sticky. If you are good you can literally never stop until the monster dies. Damage was a bit low tho. Looks like even that is fixed now. 10/10 perfect weapon design.
thanks for shouting out the DB runners
I've been waiting for this video
Can you make Guides or Builds for all Wapontypes ? This would be nice to improve hunts by learning new combos or gimics.
Wait, if rage is Josh and it is Josh cotton hollow. Does that mean, and hear me out here, cotton is gaming and hollow is videos?
I've been playing db using mostly comfort skills and the final bosses' dbs without any crit and was still able to get around 15min clears. It's not the most efficient way to play but I've got basically infinite stamina and are nigh unkillable. Didn't fail a single quest so far and the way to mr70 was a breeze because I can dodge forever :D It's really a nice alternative to max dps style, especially for lazy people like me who don't wanna bother switch skill swapping or babysitting stamina at all times. The elemental buffs sound interesting tho, gonna look into that and maybe squeeze a bit more damage out of my build.
So arch demon mode is better over all for elemental/status builds? And feral demon mode for raw damage builds?
2:58 My question for DB mains is; While in Archdemon Mode, and then you enter Demon Mode/Feral Demon Mode, Does Demon Mode/Feral Demon Mode stack with Archdemon Mode's elemantal/status boosts? I feel like it does stack together.
[Demon Mode + Archdemon Mode = 55% Elemental & Status Boost]
[Feral Demon Mode + Archdemon Mode = 20% Attack Boost + 20% Elemental & Status Boost]
Only issue is hitting the weak points with spiral slash it’s hard to tell what will work and what will slingshot u over the monster
Honestly since world I've never bothered with raw DB.
Ooooh, didn't know skills had different maths 👀 interesting to know
When I did my first MR rathian in sunbreak took me about 30mins with thunder charge blade, did again with dragon dual blades and took 12mins. I just thought it's because I'm more use to roll dodging than blocking
Dual blades are my favourite weapons!
Hold up. Those are the valtrax weapons?! Dude! They look just like the ones from World when you kill Nergi! I love those things! Makes you feel like a real monster when your hands look like that!
Thanks for you video ! 👏🏼👏🏼
What do you think about poison ?
I know it's not a element but work with DB ? Thanks 😉
When I started I though since I was a duel blade main there was a build were you could do like 50 at highest but it does 100 damage which will prob be nerfed
I needed this video.
Having 5 build for each different element is not as hard a people think.
Just swap the jewel to the desired element and change your weapon, the rest is the same. Elemental Jewel are easy to make
Finally, elemental builds are where they should be... at the top!
As a hunting horn main, I find this interesting
nice guide
Those Claw Dual blades are amazing!!!! Can't wait to get it. What monster did you get it from? Currently MR6. Love this video can't wait to try these switch skills!
Yes my favourite weapon *jual blade*
It's so hard to figure this game out on Xbox... it seems all the videos have shit in it from the DLC we don't have and I can't even figure out what goddamn patch it's on compared to the OG version. Just makes a already daunting feat of trying to get into this game as a newbie even more daunting lol
Amazing build.
Can you do a video on how to get the tickets to make layered armor please
Do you beat the story already? If yes then by fighting afflicted monsters
May I request a Sword & Shield video?
Tips for mediocre/new Dual Blades players: DON'T do what I did back then and ACTUALLY USE THE AERIAL MOVES. Alright, I get it, it's hard to use sometimes and Spiral slash has a 50/50 chance to either deal a butt load of damage or do dog water damage, but trust me, its worth it. ESPECIALLY when you're fighting really long monsters like Narwa The Allmother, because when you use demon flight, the longer the monster, the more damage you do.

Don't use Blade Dance when the monster is still standing. Unless the monster isn't moving cuz its exhausted, paralyzed, trapped, or knocked down, DON'T use Blade dance. 90% of the time, if you use Piercing Bind on a monster and rush in for the Blade Dance, the monster moves before you finish attacking and either makes you waste 5 seconds standing there with the long animation or it knocks you over possibly killing you.
I have a 3 crit eye, 2 slot talisman, which I know is pretty good, but even a crit eye 2 and 2 slot (or equivalent) is good, but my build is below
Astalos helm, chest and arms, squire belt and tobi boots
After filling gems I have max Elem attack, stam surge, crit eye, CB, WEX, crit Elem, 3 con, 3 stun Res and 3 speed sharpen
Maybe lose some con if a slightly worse talisman but hope this helps anyone
That's with a 2 slot weapon, might not be the absolute most optimal build but hope it helps people till the build video is released 😁
Hey ragegaming, can you please go over all the builds and if this message does find you, go down from best to worst that way more people will be given what they need
I also want to add that you run faster in ground demon mode.
Yeah so haven't seen the sun whatever you talk about for this game maybe just maybe I should get a game system like yours lol
After trying out so many time on so many monsters. Feral Demon mode is still stronger than Demon mode, even in elemental build (Spiral slash focus build)
This is my build
7 Cri Eye
3 WEX
3 Crit boost
3 Crit Element
5 Element
3 Chain Crit
4 Atk boost
Feral + Spiral does more damage than Demon + Spiral even with +35% elemental.
I feel like +35% elemental still does nothing. Anyone has any different result? Lets share
Great video! One question: 8:40 If you already maxed out on Critical Eye and WEX (which gives a total of 90% crit rate on weak points), would you really need Chain Crit? Or is Chain Crit only for extra raw attack damage at that point? I'm asking because otherwise you would be very limited to certain armor pieces.
Extra raw damage. Helps level out your DPS not just spike it
So the regular demon mode is that much higher for elemental damage, I haven’t used it yet since I use fetal almost exclusively
I think the only reason areial was better dps is if you really knew how to use it. Where I feel as a ground dB main I'm almost never not hitting the monster with proper stamina and all that always preferred it xD
Seen some crazy little glaive wannabes though haha
Sorry for the really newb question, but I am super new to the game. How are you getting airborne ? I cant seem to get in the air to make sure my silk bind skill is landing.
How effective is hellfire cloak considering both shrouded vault and spiral slash would leave behind hellfire I assume. Probably not meta but alot of fun if it works
Any type of dodge works with ironshine silk
Only 1000 hours? I have 3000!
I managed to get my raw to 647 and yea, barely hitting those numbers
Its hard to find any builds cuz im on playstation and its all stuff we dont have 😭 like why didnt the game just come with all the updates 😭
Please make a build vid
I love how DB is only broken if you are skilled with the weapon cause none of it matters if you aren’t skilled with the weapon
Pretty true for all weapons...
@@user-dm7ui6zx2u This coming from the LS main :P
Making me want to cheat on my precious heavy weapons.
Why not find a way to combine arial and ground styles
I tried it and the numbers are still higher for me in feral mode
How do you interrupt demon flight to come back down ?
josh just needs to accept that element is the new modern method.
Are there any good DB builds out there? Maybe it's still to early but I really can't finde an op set rn.
Build your own :3 it's not that hard ^-^
+35% element doesn’t even get a mention in the patch notes. WILD.
How do you show the increase in elem and damage? Tried it but nothing happens in the stat card
I'm thinking of getting a switch lite and the game... anyone got any advice?
