Another one of the weapons you can choose from is the Dual Blades. They allow you to be lethal and end fights in an instant. However, to make them the force, they have the potential for, you need to be aware of what build to go for. Therefore, this Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Build guide will help you along your journey.

Let’s start with the Skills you can incorporate into your playstyle if you go the Dual Blades.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades

Dual Blades

To make sure that you are aware of how to properly utilize the Dual Blades, you will need to be informed of the skills you can use. Skills are very powerful perks you can use to overturn fights and emerge victorious.

They allow you to get out of sticky situations and deal massive damage. Each skill provides its own benefits and some benefits stand above others. So let’s take a look at the best Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Build skills.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Skills

I will be dividing the Skills under different Tiers according to their impact on the Dual Blades Build. Firstly we will have S Tier, which are the best skills you can use. The second Tier would be the A Tier, which will have potent skills which need some work to shine. Lastly, I will use B Tier for situationally powerful skills that are mostly taken if a player is already accustomed to them.

S-Tier Skills

Fire, Water, Ice, Thunder, and Dragon Attacks

Elemental attacks are an integral part of the Dual blades build. Element attacks allow you to use a bunch of different elements and exploit the weakness of your enemies. Therefore, raising the elemental damage of your Dual Blades is necessary to increase the intensity of your elemental attacks.

Critical Element

Secondly, we have the Critical Element. This skill boosts your elemental damage and enables you to have a viable elemental Dual blades build. As you will progress through the game, the monsters will keep getting tougher and more resilient.

You will need the amplified damage from the Critical element skills to make sure you can defeat them. This skill is one of the best skills you can go for in the Dual Blades Build as is a must-have for the endgame.

Critical Eye

Up next, we have Critical Eye. This skill increases your damage output exponentially. Alongside the Critical Element skill, this will ensure that you have enough affinity and can deal with stronger monsters. When maxed, all the damage boost will enable you to break through the tough monsters’ defense, and even one shot them.

Evade Window

This skill allows you to dodge your enemy’s attacks. It might seem basic at first and maybe even not necessary to take up. However, the swiftness it provides makes it impossible for others to catch you.

Once you master this skill usage, it will make you an untouchable Goliath that deals loads of damage. I highly recommend you take up this skill and master it. It will help you defeat monsters much more efficiently.

Weakness Exploit

As the name suggests, it allows you to exploit your enemies’ weakness and use it to dish out a lot of damage. When max rank, It rewards you with 50% affinity if you manage to strike an enemy’s weak point. Such a huge damage increase can become the decisive factor in a battle and help you get the dub.

Blast Attack

This skill is for those that want to increase their damage output without going for the Elemental Dual Blades. Blast Attack amplifies your damage and allows you to output similar damage to keep up with the elemental Build. Such damage is necessary to become a contender in the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak World.

A Tier

Marathon Runner

Marathon Runner increases your Demon mode duration. This means you can enjoy the perks of being in demon mode for a long time and overcome tough opponents.

Stamina Surge

This skill goes hand in hand with Marathon Runner. It helps you to quickly refill your stamina bar after you get exhausted from using Demon mode. This is highly crucial because sometimes demon mode alone isn’t enough to deal with your foes.

You might need to land another attack or even run away, so you need to be prepared for a situation like that. Stamina Surge is that fail-safe that can allow you to get out of sticky situations.

Attack Boost

Attack Boost increases your attack damage. The skill is quite potent; however, due to the Dual Blades’ nature to mainly use elemental Attacks, it becomes a second option. You can go for this skill if you feel like your damage is lacking. Although make sure that you only do so once you have raised your elemental affinity, as that will become more of a factor rather than this skill.

Protective Polish

The Dual Blades have a really fast attack speed. Their incredible pace allows them to cut through even the strongest of hides. But in sacrifice for that speed, the Dual Blades’ sharpness decreases quickly.

Protective polish covers up that gap in the Dual Blades Build and enables you to keep swinging for much longer. It is a very good skill to have so that you don’t wear out your Blades.

Razor Sharp

This skill is similar to Protective Polish. It allows your Blades to maintain their sharpness for a longer duration. That longer duration will be handy as it will eliminate your worries. You won’t have to be afraid of your blades becoming dull and useless in the middle of a fight.

It only differs from Protective polish because it doesn’t require any whetstone in exchange for the blade effectivity.

Constitution

Lastly, we have Constitution in the A Tier. This skill enables you to regain stamina and allows you to dodge an enemy attack even if you are in Demon mode. The ability to dodge the attack in demon mode is too good of an opportunity to pass up. Hence why this skill is rated so high among the Dual Blades players.

B-Tier

Critical Boost

This skill raises your raw attack power. It can prove to be quite useful if you are going for a non-elemental build. However, the Dual Blades’ strong suit is the elemental attacks so it is better to go for elemental skills than this. Thus, this skill is rendered on the player’s preference as it isn’t that good with the most powerful builds.

Flinch Free

This skill allows your attacks to reach your enemies without any interference. This can be a vital skill to have as it will enable you to hit your enemies even if you are getting hit. But, the Dual Blades attacks are already locked on enemies once hit so they don’t get interrupted much.

However, in multiplayer, you face a lot of resistance when going for an attack, so this might be a good skill to pick up.

Evade Extender

Evade Extender allows you to dash over a short distance in mere seconds. It can be used to close gaps between you and your enemies or to run away. If you manage to get the hang of it, you can use it offensively to target the enemy’s weak points quickly.

This skill can allow you to become a force to be reckoned with and even provide you with an escape route if things get dicey.

These are all the skills you can use for the Dual Blades, so let’s see which gel well the most with the Builds we will be creating. There are typically three phases to the game, the early game, mid-game, and late game. So let’s talk about which Build is the most useful and at each level.

Early Game MHR Sunbreak Dual Blades Build

Raw Affinity Build

We have the Cyclone & Raw Affinity Build for the early game build. This starter build makes you familiar with the Dual Blades in this game, namely Cyclone+. This Build allows you to try out different skills, be it utility skills, defensive skills, or offensive skills.

It allows you to display significant damage to take care of the monsters’ huge HP bars while learning the basics of the Dual Blades.

Evade window is also very necessary as it will allow you to try your hand at using mobility skills and make you more accustomed to it. This experience will help you once you reach the endgame and have to incorporate these skills into your combos.

Mid-Game MHR Sunbreak Dual Blades Build

For the mid-game, there are a plethora of builds that you can choose from and build depending on your desires. So let’s take a look at the best mid-game Dual Blades Build.

Elemental Build

Firstly you can go for an elemental build. As mentioned, elemental attacks add a lot of power behind your swings and help you take down monsters. This Elemental Build has some high offensive damage that can break through even the strongest of monsters’ defense.

Now, there is a different weapon for you to choose from for every other element. Hence let us first discuss the armor and skills that stay more or less constant.

Skills

For the Rampage skill, make sure to take Element Exploit as that will boost your damage and make you more of a monster to defeat. This will also help build some affinity allowing you to display even more damage.

Moreover, The first set of skills you can go for is Critical Eye Level 7, Attack Boost Level 6, Elemental Attack Level 5, Critical Element Level 3, Critical Boost Level 3, and Weakness Exploit Level 3.

These offensive skills enable you to output enough damage to deal with the mid-game monsters easily. Furthermore, these skills increase your affinity and high affinity allows for more powerful attacks.

The second set of skills is Wirebug Whisperer Level 2, Evade Window Level 1, and Windproof Level 3. These are utility skills that allow you to crawl out of difficult situations or take advantage of your opponent’s weakness. The Evade window allows you to dodge enemy attacks while giving you time to think of a counter plan.

Now that we have talked about the constants so this Build, let’s take a look at each weapon you can go for with every different elemental Build.

Weapons

Fire Elemental Build

The magma slicers+ have proved to be the most dominant for the Fire Elemental Build. They have 290 base damage with 60 fire elemental damage. That 60 elemental damage makes them powerful tools for you to utilize and decimate your opponents.

It also features a rampage three slot, allowing you to pair it with elemental exploit and exponentially increase your firepower.

Water Elemental Build

The Best Dual Blades for the water elemental build are Mud Slicers+. They have some of the highest base damage at 280 and 59 elemental damage with water. That makes them very effective when fighting against monsters. Their affinity keeps on increasing with the skills mentioned above and makes them some of the best dual blades you will use.

Due to its rampage slot 3, you can use elemental exploit to further elevate your damage.

Ice Elemental Build

Bloom Snow Claws+ is the best dual blades for an ice elemental build. They have high base damage at 290. Furthermore, they have high elemental damage with ice damage being at 62.

Bloom Snow Claws+

The only downside of them in comparison to the previous elemental builds is that they lack another rampage slot.

Dragon Elemental Build

For the Dragon Elemental Build, we present you with Les Apotres. They have a whopping 290 base damage along with 37 Dragon elemental damage. Their high affinity, which is 35% at a base level, makes them stand above other dual blades with elemental thunder damage. This affinity already allows you to inflict massive damage on your opponents and become victorious.

With the additional skills, these blades become one of the best Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Build for the mid-game.

Thunder Elemental Build

The best Thunder Elemental Dual Blades for the midgame are Despot’s Blitz+. Their base damage is the highest amongst others at 300. Moreover, they have 39 thunder elemental damage making them a top contender when choosing a build. They can prove to be quite powerful and enable you to win fights.

You can also choose to put another jewel in the additional decoration slot to provide you with more options in a fight. You can go for an Attack Jewel 2 as it will amp up for damage and make you more of a monster. However, if you want more maneuverability, you can go for Evasion Jewel 2.

These are the best elemental Build you can go for in the mid-game, some of these are even powerful enough to carry on into the endgame. However, if these don’t float your boat, we have another midgame build for you.

Raw Max Affinity Build

This Build is raw damage build that allows you to showcase your fighting skills in fashion. With the help of primarily offensive skills with a hint of defensive skills, this Build has shown fruitful results. Furthermore, it can hit 100% affinity when targeting an enemy’s weak spot. This strengthens this Build by a ton and makes it extremely viable.

These are some of the best midgame Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Build you can go for. Some of these builds carry on to the later stages, where you explore more of their potential and learn what they can achieve.

So now, let’s take a look at some of the most powerful endgame Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Builds.

Endgame MHR Sunbreak Dual Blades Build

Once you have dueled your way through the game, you will reach the end stage of the game. The monsters will become tougher and more resilient, and you will need something sharp to cut them with. That’s where the Dual Blades build comes into the picture.

These endgame Sunbreak Dual Blades Build will ensure that you are able to have some smooth sailing and that you are able to overcome any hurdles in your way.

Early Endgame Elemental Build

Let’s start off the endgame builds with the one you will be in the need of the most. Elemental builds are some of the most powerful builds you can go for in the game. Hence, you will realize their need as soon as you reach the last few milestones of the game. Therefore, to help you, we have assembled this early endgame build.

This is an improved mid-game elemental build that you can only unlock once your MR level exceeds 30. It will help you become better, sharper, and deadlier. It provides you with raw damage and a balanced kit that allows you to explore different attack options.

As this is an elemental build, let’s discuss the armor, decorations, and skills first, as they will remain the same no matter which elemental weapon you choose to go for.

Skills

Rampage skills are crucial for every Build, and this Build is no exception. The rampage skills you need to take are Element Exploit for the Level 3 Rampage Slot, and Spiribird Doubled for the Level 2 decoration slot. They will allow your firepower to become even greater.

The first set of skills that go along with this Build is Critical Eye Level 7, Critical Element Level 3, Critical Boost Level 3, Weakness Exploit Level 3, Elemental Attack Level 5, Chain Crit Level. 3, and Attack Boost Level 4. These offensive skills increase your DPS and make it easier for you to cut down monsters and become the ultimate Monster Hunter.

Moreover, the second set of skills that you need to take is Wirebug Whisperer Level 2, and Evade Window Level 1. They provide you with mobility and maneuverability so that you can dodge the enemy attacks and still be able to dish out massive damage.

Weapons

Fire Elemental Build

For the Fire Elemental Build, the magma slicers+ has proved to be the most dominant even in the end game. They have 290 base damage with 60 fire elemental damage. That 60 elemental status makes them powerful tools for you to utilize and decimate your opponents.

It also features a rampage three slot, allowing you to pair it with elemental exploit and exponentially increase your firepower.

Water Elemental Build

The Best Dual Blades for the water elemental build are once again Mud Slicers+. They have some of the most significant base damage at 280 and 59 elemental damage with water. That makes them very effective when fighting against monsters. Their affinity keeps increasing with the skills mentioned above, making them some of the best dual blades you will use.

Due to its rampage slot 3, you can use elemental exploit to elevate your damage further. The additional decoration slot allows us to plug in a critical jewel to ensure you don’t lose out to anyone.

Ice Elemental Build

For the Ice Elemental Build, we have Daora’s Hook+. It has 300 base damage and 49 Ice elemental damage. You might wonder why we have chosen this over the Bloom Snow Claws+ as these have less elemental damage.

Daora’s Hook+

Well, there is an excellent reason for it. These blades gain a level 2 decoration slot which is integral for us. We can put the Critical Boost skill in it, and Elemental Exploit in the level 3 decoration slot. The amplified damage from these additional skills enables you to overtake the Bloom Snow Claws+ damage and become a more dominant force.

In the endgame, this Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Build allows you to conquer areas and reign supreme.

Dragon Elemental Build

For this Build, we have Gila Ro Waga as our weapon. It has a base damage of 320 and 44 elemental damage. Unlike Les Apotres, these blades do not have any affinity, to begin with, making them a skeptical choice.

However, this choice is calculated. These blades provide you with two Level 2 slots where you can put critical jewel to max out your Critical Boost. Furthermore, it features a level 3 slot, and with Elemental Exploit in it, the damage of these blades eaches even higher than Les Apotres.

If you manage to hit an enemy’s weak point, the affinity of the weapons rises to 90%, which is really good as the DPS is already too strong. This makes these blades stand at the top of the food chain for this Build.

Thunder Elemental Build

We have Double Discharge as our weapon for this Build. It has a high base damage of 300 and tremendous elemental damage of 69. These stats in themselves are perfect for taking down giant monsters; however, with the addition of the skills mentioned above, this weapon becomes monstrously powerful.

The only weakness with this Build is that, unlike the other builds, this weapon doesn’t offer any additional slots to amplify your damage.

Elemental Crit Build

Moving on, you can also go for an elemental crit build to strengthen your odds during the game’s later stages. This Build ensures that the Critical Boost skill is maxed so you can use the critical hits to display the most damage. Rather than going for an attack boost and such, this Build prioritizes razor sharpness so that the weapon is in the best condition to dish out the most damage.

Skills

Take Elemetal Exploit as your rampage skill. It is the most practical skill in increasing your DPS in an elemental build.

For the first set of skills, take Critical Eye Level 7, Element Attack Level 5, Critical Boost Level 3, Weakness Exploit Level 3, Chain Crit Level 3, Speed Sharpening Level 3, and Critical Element Level 3. These offensive skills raise your DPS and crit damage and enable you to deal significant damage.

Furthermore, you can take this second set of skills  Protective Polish Level 3, Resentment Level 1, Guard Level 1, Earplugs Level 1, Constitution Level 1, and Flinch Free Level 1. These utility skills ensure that your weapon is in the best condition and that you have enough stamina and resilience to take on your opponents.

These skills, alongside the armor, are what make this Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Build strong. However, you will still need to know the best weapons that complement this Build.

Weapons

Fire Elemental Build

We have Magma Shredders for this Build. They have 300 base damage as well as 64 fire elemental damage. These raw stats make them so powerful to wield, and with the skills backing them, their damage elevates to a newer level.

If you manage to hit an enemy’s weak point, the affinity of the weapons rises to 90%, which is really good as the DPS is already too strong. This makes these blades stand at the top of the food chain for this Build.

Thunder Elemental Build

For the ice build, we have Thunderblades+. Their base damage is exceptionally high at 320. However, their elemental damage is only 30. But their 10% affinity makes up for the low elemental damage and showcases them as a viable option.

MHR Sunbreak Dual Blades Elemental Dereliction Build

This Build is a double-edged sword but has proven to be quite powerful. It grants you damage but consumes your life force, so if you cannot manage that, this Build isn’t for you. Bur for my adrenaline junkies out there, this hits the jackpot.

This Build uses the same weapon as the ones for the elemental crit build. However, their difference lies in the armor, decorations, and skills. The skills make this Build incomparable to the crit build and something new entirely.

Skills

Moreover, the first skills you can utilize are Elemental Attack Level 5, Chain Crit Level 3, Critical Boost Level 3, Weakness Exploit Level 3, Resentment Level 2, and Dereliction Level 1. These skills are the most vital part of this Build. They are the essence upon which the Build expands.

Moving on, the second set of skills you can choose is Protective Polish Lv.3, Hunger Resistance Level 1, Flinch Free Level 1, Stamina Surge Level 3, and Stun Resistance Level.3. These are utility skills that will make sure you have enough stamina throughout the fight. They will also enable you to become much more unforgiving even when taking blows.

These skills make this Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Dual Blades Build stand tall and lethal to anyone who dares to oppose it.

Poison Foray High-Affinity Climber Build

Lastly, we have the Poison Foray High-Affinity Climber Build. This is a very unique build that stems from using the Foray as your Talisman. Especially with your armor having foray skills, this unique Build can display massive damage in the game’s later stages.

However, this Build might be challenging to wrap your head around, so if you want simple but strong, the elemental crit build is the best.

Weapon

For the weapon, we have The Legend. It has a high base damage of 320 and poison elemental damage of 38. The elemental damage makes this build viable and allows you to explore deeper into the monster hunter world with something creative.
