    Dual Strike

    Dual Strike is an attack skill. It attacks an enemy with both weapons with increased critical strike chance, and can only be used while dual wielding. It has more damage and critical strike chance against enemies at full life.

    Skill Functions and Interactions

    Dual Wielding: Most other melee skills will alternate weapons or only use the main hand while making dual wielding attacks.Dual Strike,Viper Strike, and Cleave are the only current exceptions. If the player's weapons have different critical strike chance or accuracy values, it is possible to critical or miss with one weapon, but not the other. Hollow Palm Technique does not allow the skill to work while unarmed.

    On-hit Effects: Effects that typically occur when you hit an enemy will only apply for this skill once per use.
