Understand Dual Keres
Useful when…
- Use its normal attack for fast, critical-oriented close-range strikes.
- Use slams when area damage is useful, accounting for their separate damage types.
Normal attack handling
The normal attack lists 115 total damage: 66.7 Slash, 34.5 Puncture, and 13.8 Impact. Attack speed is 1.25, critical chance 28%, critical multiplier 2.6x, status chance 14%, and range 2.5 m. Its critical stats make it a more natural starting point for critical emphasis than status emphasis.
Slam modes
A regular slam deals 230 Impact area damage, with falloff from 0 to 8 m and 50% reduction. A heavy slam deals 345 Blast area damage, with falloff from 0 to 9 m and 30% reduction. Both list 10% status chance, so the normal attack's status value does not carry over to these modes.
Comparison and investment
Dual Keres requires Mastery Rank 7 and lists 2.5 m range. Dual Keres Prime is a related Prime option with Mastery Rank 14 and a described Heavy Attack Efficiency benefit specifically when wielded by Khora. Dual Ichor is also a dual-sword weapon with a 25% critical chance and 3x multiplier, while Fang Prime is a Dual Dagger. Those differences can guide weapon-family or progression choices, but do not by themselves make a candidate a substitute.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- High listed critical stats are paired with a 14% normal status chance.
- Slam damage types and status chance differ from the normal attack.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not attribute Dual Keres Prime's Khora-specific Heavy Attack Efficiency note to the base Dual Keres.
- Do not use the normal attack's 14% status chance for its slam attacks.
