Dual Cleavers GUIDE

Understand Dual Cleavers

Useful when…

  • Use normal attacks for their listed mix of Impact, Slash, and Puncture damage.
  • Use slam modes for their listed area damage types.
  • Account for the listed 1.7 range when choosing how to engage enemies.

Normal attack profile

Normal attacks deal 109.9 Slash, 23.55 Impact, and 23.55 Puncture damage. They have 25% critical chance, a 3× critical multiplier, and 10% status chance. Listed speed is 0.833, range is 1.7, and Follow Through is 0.5.

Slam modes

Slam attacks deal 314 Impact in an area, with falloff from 0 to 8 m and 50% reduction at the far end. Heavy slams deal 471 Blast in an area, with falloff from 0 to 9 m and 30% reduction at the far end. Both modes list 10% status chance.

Critical stats and polarity

The listed normal attack profile pairs 25% critical chance with a 3× multiplier and 10% status chance. The weapon has a Madurai polarity. These values describe the weapon and do not determine final damage after mods.

Other dual swords

Dual Heat Swords and Dual Kamas have lower listed mastery requirements than Dual Cleavers, while Twin Krohkur has a higher one. The comparison entries do not provide enough handling or attack-stat details for a full performance ranking. Dual Cleavers’ listed distinguishing values include its 25% critical chance, 3× multiplier, and 1.7 range.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The listed critical profile accompanies a 10% status chance.
  • The listed range is 1.7.
  • The comparison entries do not provide enough details for a complete performance ranking.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Ignoring the listed 1.7 range.
  • Assuming the listed 10% status chance is high.
  • Assuming slam attacks use the normal attack’s physical damage mix.
