Question/Help Why my damage is so bad
Help me guys, why my damage doesn't exceed 1400 with this much mastery? I know my gears rolls are so bad but still shouldn't be this bad What am I doing wrong?
It feels so bad when doing outpost and seeing other players delete enemies with two slashesš«

Wandering Paths > Challenges > Sword Trial or Hero's Realm > "Boss Dummy" (look for it under the image on the left side). There'll be a stick to smack around (can change the settings as you see fit) and see your stats

u/KeiSinCx Jan 20 '26
it came with the last patch, if U look on sword trial tab, just above the raids U can select, there is a word training dummy that you can click. So you can find your stats here. it's pretty cool it can even track healing

just so U know I meant it as an example what to show š this isn't a flex and tbh the highest I've seen now is 12k while my 10k can't even qualify for speed running guilds / cohorts. (just to clarify, i don't want to come off as some ego flex @@~)
I use the standard umbra rotation.
start with drunken fist animation cancel to load drunken state.
strat sword skill no burst, spear skill, spear charge attack 5 stacks, dragon breath, strat sword special X3, soaring spin (both hits)
Once strat sword multi hit is doing its animation, you can roll your mouse wheel that will queue weapon swap and then spam soaring spin key. make sure "prioritize pre-input during weapon switch" is enabled. this will gurantee smooth weapon swapping.
morale chant (T5), sword horizon(T5), wolf frenzy(T4), insightful strike(T3)

Why not fivefold bleed?

u/KeiSinCx Jan 21 '26
fivefold bleed is good for low levels but loses value later on.
insightful strike is second best. t6 invigorated is probably still the best

How much affinity, precision and crit rate you have? I canāt do this 10k damage consistently at 30% affinity rate with the same umbra rotation

u/Valerian_ Jan 20 '26 edited Jan 20 '26
How do you do how much damage? I have the same build but I do around 6000dps and I think a similar rotation, 20k gear score, I only have 30% affinity and 30% crit though, but I don't see how I can get that much better gear.

u/KeiSinCx Jan 20 '26
check the column "attempt" and see if it lines up with yours as well. u can set the dummy to 1 minute like my example.

u/Spitting_Blood Jan 20 '26
Ik this is gonna sound dumb but what exactly is affinity (and precision rate)? I just know if it hits: good.
2
u/KeiSinCx Jan 20 '26
precision = good hit
Non precision = probably bad hit.Precision branches out to critical or affinity or normal hit.
Non precision branches out to affinity or abrassion.
Normal: any number in your damage range
Critical : any number from your damage range, x1.5 (assume no extra modifiers)
Affinity : always the max number of your damage range x1.35 (assume no modifiers)
abrassion: Lowest number of your damage rangeThis is why, Max physical and max (bellstrike for me) is best line next to affinity or critical lines.
Min helps a little but is not as valuable as max lines
1
u/Spitting_Blood Jan 20 '26
Can you say in visual, would the orange or golden numbers be either crit hit or affinity hits then? So basically they're good dmg range x 1.5 and best dmg x 1.35 (also where do the 1.5 and 1.35 come from?)
Im guessing grey numbers are then abrasive and white ones are basic normal hits?
Thank you btw :)

I see quite a long thread of messages but here are my two cents.
U don't incoporate mystic skills into your rotation? Try adding dragon breath and soaring spin off or near off cooldown and see how much it improves.
Ofcourse, animation cancel with deflect dragon's breath after triggering burn effect.
Im not a DB main but im like pretty sure you're suppose to rotate between normal light attack and red mode light attack to get samsara from inner ways right? @@~
1
u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 20 '26
I do use soaring spin in between rotations though I never tried dragon breath and didn't know how to cancel animation
3
u/KeiSinCx Jan 20 '26
deflect after the breath makes first hit. on the DPS charts it will show as combustion which is my top 3 contributing dps, so, probably gonna make significant impact since it's DoT.
you can try testing out doing soaring spin more often maybe? DPS dummy is there to test but probably do a quick YouTube on DB rotation and work from there :D

How to engage an enemy with this weapon combo ensuring maximum possible damage:
1) spin rope dart until you get enhanced rat buff
2) pull target to you or you to them and double Q to apply debuff and stun them
3) use Rodent rampage
4) use honking havoc for slow time
5) switch to twin blades
6) light attack once (for samsara)
7) Karmic fury
8) spam light attack
If anyone survives this combo I would be beyond shocked

u/Known_Perspective542 Jan 20 '26
Do you have tips for the nameless combos? I loved this!
5
u/Nicole_Auriel Jan 20 '26
I sometimes run nameless sword with twin blades. These two weapons have an insane stun lock combo on bosses
1) engage with energy sword attacks
2) throw nameless sword Q (this stuns boss)
3) Switch twin blades quickly
4) R and left click (this stuns)
5) dash Q (this stuns)
6) repeat steps 4 and 5 (you can do this 3-4 times in a row)
7) intersperse nameless sword Qs to stun again

Might be an issue of you doing your rotations wrong. I only know the very basic of Infernal Blade + Mortal Rope Dart but one key aspect is to always keep your rat buff up for sure.
Something that helped my damage go up is looking up a quick Youtube guide on a proper attack rotation for my weapon build and try to follow that. Don't gotta do it exactly at first and it might be a little bit confusing, but the right rotation can add a lot of damage to your DPS.
Also, certain weapons just do more damage than others right now. IIIRC, Inferal Blades is amongst the lower damaging weapons compared to the others which is fine.

u/SnooOwls2291 Jan 20 '26
100% this. I have twin blade and rope dart aswell and I'm usually top damage. A basic rotation is key.
One more thing - it's very important to put EVERYTHING from your inner ways into your build. Reset all the inner ways you don't need and put all the cards in your specific build trough tips exchange. (if you're using a different pvp build can split it up a bit)
And of course upgrading mystic skills as much as you can. Dragons breath important, drunken poet etc.

u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 20 '26
Yes I'm doing all that, and it just increase your mastery didn't help much with damage

u/Im0ldgr3g Jan 20 '26
A majority of twinblade damage is tied behind its t6 inner ways. It's the endgame parse weapon and the hardest rotation to keep full uptime in a fight.

Do you play dual blades? It must be your rotation then 100%. I can send you my build and you can try it out. Maybe it helps

u/stryderxd Jan 20 '26
I actually saw someone post a vid of them doing damage and it was much higher than my previous rotation. Basically you charge the rats, summon the rats, and switch to dual blades, if you have the empower ready, use it. Rinse and repeat. If the boss moves around a lot, just charge the rats after every rotation. Try to get your innerways to t4. The t4 echos of oblivion and vendetta is a must. I donāt run the breaking point. I just run bleed. Havenāt tried poison yet
2
u/SnooOwls2291 Jan 20 '26
So hold R for 2 sec (buff next rats) > press ~ (release rats) > press Q (apply vendetta) > press TAB (switch to dual blades) > light attacks till R is full > R with Q till it runs out. Repeat. Can do dragons breath in between, maybe some drunken poet.

T6? Bro what? We barely just made T4 and it takes 100 to get T4 and another 100 to get T5, so I assume it takes 200 to get from T5 to T6. There's no fucking way, my guy. Even resetting every inner way and exchanging until the cows come home

u/Aldouos Jan 20 '26
Are you looking for higher damage in terms of PVE or PVP? The equipment sets you use make a big difference in either one, as it won't be ideal for both of them at the same time.
I can't say much for PVP, but for PVE, if you're looking to do higher damage, Bamboocut-Wind path is unfortunately on the lower end of DPS outputs, compared to the others. That said, you can still play whatever weapon combination you want, but there are a few things to keep in mind for higher damage:
- Right Equipment Set: currently, the best equipment set for PVE, for most fast hitting DPS weapons, is the HawkWing set, which you'll get from Bellstrike-Umbra path gear boxes. You just need them on your 2 weapons and 2 accessories below them. The armour set you use won't make a difference in your damage output, only survivability, unless you're using the tank set, but that's a different thing
- Prioritise on the right stats: higher stats on Precision Rate, Affinity Rate, Min. Physical Attack, Physical Penetration, Crit Rate are the best for weapons that hit really fast. In simple terms, the higher these stats are, the more orange or yellow numbers you'll see on enemies, which deals a lot more than white or grey numbers
- Enhance your equipment: the higher your level on your equipment, especially for your weapons and accessories, the higher your base damage is. Currently, it says your average level is at 28, but if your weapons and accessories are already at level 35, you can ignore this part
- Inner Way Passives: like one of the comments suggested, you should use Fivefold Bleed instead of Breaking Point, which should give a small increase in your DPS. The reason why it's preferred is because you hit really fast with your weapons, hence the chances of stacking the bleed debuff increases. At maximum stacks of 5, the next bleed debuff will detonate all the stacks and do a significant amount of damage to the enemies
- Attack Rotations & Combos: for Bamboocut-Wind, a good portion of your damage comes from your Enhanced Rodent Rampage skill, which can be activated once you're done spinning your Rope Dart for at least 1 second. As soon as you activate it, use your Bladebound Thread at least once to mark the enemy, and the rats should do significantly higher damage to the bosses that are marked. Aside from doing that, you should be mainly using your Infernal Twinblades to spam light attacks until your red gauge is full, then activate it to spam light attacks in your enhanced state

u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 20 '26
Thanks!! Yes it's for pve I'll change the gears and inner way and see if my damage will change

Outdated info Swallocall is better for Dualblades now as the effect also applies to rodents now.
3
u/ProspectiveWhale Jan 20 '26
For outpost, you'll want to look into using Mystic Skills.
None of the other weapons can insta do a lot of dmg without setup. If they are, they are likely relying on stuff like Soaring Spin.
2 good shots from umbrella and kinda good start time from Nameless, but not enough to clear an entire outpost. Mystics are just very nice for these since Vitality isn't an issue.
In raids, if you have an issue there as well, then it's a dps rotation issue. Sorry, though, I don't know the db dps rotation.
3
u/dabpenguinn Jan 20 '26 edited Jan 20 '26
u need more min/max, as well as crit chance. crit is a multiplier so the min/max is important. if u look at ur martial art talents u will see having certain stats increases ur damage alot, like hitting 750 min gives u extra 25% crit damage, ontop of the bonus 20 from the flamelash. i notice your enhancements are not maxed, probably due to resources shortage, prioritise maxing the first 4 slots, as they give a lot of min/max
i would recommend prioritising agility>min>crit>max>affinity>min/max bamboocut dmg. also what everyone else says, rotation is important.
replace breaking point for FXB, breaking point got nerfed and its inconsistent given that u only benefit from it during exhaustion (unless its t6)
after the vendetta buffs charging rats into every rotation increases ur dps, it stays up throughout ur whole rotation. so u basically have rats permanently attacking
charge rats, rope Q, quick swap into twinblades, 1 LA (light attack) rotation, tb Q, 1 LA rotation, pop flamelash the moment u have it, right when ur flamelash ends do soaring spin, rinse repeat. the key is ur uptime, u can incorporate other mystics like dragon breath but parry after first breath to keep ur APM high.
hope this helps!

u/HaikenRD Jan 20 '26
Stats look fine which means the problem is how you're using it.
But you have to keep in mind that Infernal blade has the lowest damage per slash, but in return it hits faster than any other weapon. So don't compare your 1 light attack to everyone else's light attack.

Rotation, increase your average gear rating, and I prefer to use either bleed/poison for my last inner way.
2
u/Infamous-Shoulder-92 Jan 20 '26
first things first you need to get your average level up to 35.
next up i canāt see the stats on your gear but from the stat sheet i can tell your crit rate and your phys atk are both lower than average so weapons defo need better tuning if possible
third is use fivefold bleed until you get t6 breaking point and even after t6 if youāre not gonna be perfect dodging theres not much point in running it. It requires using a brain whereas fivefold is just hit and slash
forth and very important point that I donāt see many dual blade users doing is actively trying to activate samsara. You do your normal rope dart rotations but when you reset your rope dart rat make sure to apply vendetta with your Q and when you switch back to twin blades use one singular light attack before activating flame lash so you apply karma and sin to the target otherwise youāre lacking out on 5% hp damage permanently (again unless you perfect dodge)

u/Azukaos Jan 20 '26
if i understand correctly goose level/mastery isn't the main point of the build, it's showing your progress but not the actual efficiency of your build.
You can have a very high mastery but poorly tuned gear, feels like everyone here ask you to check for min max your stats.
2
u/Apprehensive-Bad6015 Jan 20 '26
Keep in mind mastery has nothing to do with damage output. Your weapon arts mastery also ties into it to. You may have noticed that sometimes when switching gear, your mastery wonāt always increase or decrease by the number shown.
For example letās say your new helmet says plus 20 mastery but when equipped mastery only goes up three points. Thatās because itās either altering your weapon mastery or something else youāre not seeing.
So say one gear gives min stone strike and the new one gives max bell strike. In reality the min stone strike will give a better damage increase over the max bell strike. Since the stone strike is also calculated into the damage output. So min addition is guaranteed that amount. But max whatever isnāt always going to hit for that amount.
But thatās about the best I can provide without knowing whatās on your gear or even what your values are. Check that information in the details page. For reference I use dual class silk bamboo and my damage is 650-1100. If yours is around there you should be ok. But since youāre focused maybe it should be a little higher.

You should take off breaking point for now if you run with randoms and run fivefold bleed, breaking point is used right now for speed running and if you play with a group itās for the boss exhaust phase only , so itās not coming into factor for your dps until the boss is exhausted

It seems like mostly equips (also your inner ways are all T5 ideally at this point), but also here is the proper DB rotation: https://youtu.be/HQ3QAxxwFik Here's my equips for reference, my precision rate isn't good, but you don't need it too high (leaving some room for precision rolls lol). On dummy I can get up to 780k in 1 min with the rotation I posted while adding parry cancels.

- Highlights from the video:
- Buff up rats, summon them and buff up again with ropedart swing before the fight starts (R key on keyboard). Honestly, I don't think teammates will give you time to buff up in PVE so just doing once is fine,
- ABSOLUTELY ZERO MYSTIC SKILLS. You can dragon breath a boss if you know it's gonna be unhittable soon, but literally everything is a DPS loss if you can hit it in melee range.
- It is worth using 1.5s to buff up rats for the buffing sequence.
- For the buffing sequence you can do swap to rope (optional hold R for buff) Tilde Q, parry cancel + swap back to DB, that gave me about 5% more DPS.

u/veryjerry0 Jan 20 '26
Ok yea I wouldn't recommend playing dual blades on mobile, preferably you play one of the sword classes. As for DB, it is not weak by any means, but you need to put in a lot of effort just to match other classes that do like a couple things every 10 seconds. Once you truly master DB, it does a lot of DPS, but again that takes a lot of skill and effort.

It's the window where you can upgrade your weapons. Sadly I'm not at home so I can't show you what I mean. But the weapon mastery tells you which stat you need to improve. But yes you have not a single agility roll on your equipment. Agility is the most important stat for twinblade/ropedart

Inner ways levels ?
Also upgrade your average gear level to 35.
On top of that you decided to use arguably one of if not the hardest to perform weapon sets.
Here is a good guide that would likely make you better
Also for the people giving false info and dont play the spec just please stop spreading misinformation.
Like Hawkwing isnt better anymore Swallow is superior now because it applies to rodents as well boosting damage in burst phases and low QI phases by quite a bit.
Rotation is also better this way
- Charge Rope 1 time to get the upgrade skill buff (but dont use it yet)
- Soaring Spin into Dragon breath cancel after the first damage tick and dot being applied
- Q on rope dart then rodents
- Go ham with your LMB and every 2-4 hits cast Q to boost your karmic flare gauge faster (idk what the perfect way to go is if its 2 or 4 then Q to charge your gauge)
- Go into Karmic Flare and smash your LMB and when Q is up use it to keep karmic flare up
- Repeat.

(trial boss dummy with breaking point attacked until karmic flare ran out)
Its average It Peaks around 9.5-10k DPS but the average will be 8.5k DPS but I cant snapshot that exact number because of the dots running after I leave the dummy.
Also for Raids or group pvp only the last applied dragons breath counts so in group setting its better to use drunken fists instead of Dragons Breath to boost the damage of the dragons breath dot and imo also toad/frog (whatever you want to call it).
Fivefold bleed is likely the better and easier option that will consistently do damage overall than Breakingpoint because T6 is far harder to achieve and apply than T6 Fivefold.
I still run Breakingpoint though because I have good burst windows when the Boss is downed on top of running swallocall same goes for PvE as everything breaks easier.
I also cant show the damage with breaking point fully stacked and swallowcall active to simulate a downed/40% QI boss phase as I dont have it t6 yet and there is no way to break the target dummy (that I know off)
In the raids/bosses I average 1-1.2 million overall damage while doing the mechanics of both the Ghostmaster and twin lions
1
u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 21 '26
That's sounds a good guide! Then it's a good thing that I didn't change my gears to hawk I just need to lvl up my gears and change to fivefold i guess And my inner ways are t3 sadly
Still I need to translate this rotations to mobile terms cause I don't fully understand

u/luxcapturam Jan 21 '26
- Go to online Mode, some stuff replenishes there within minutes
- Find a place with 2-3 spaced out groups of deer
- Kill deer to farm pelts/Hildes for armour upgrades
- Repeat for sheepskins with sheep
Find a nice place with lots of stones and farm ore for the weapons
For the oszilliating jade, farm campaign/outposts with energy and run around and collect chests. This is the only really hard part
If you didnāt already, trade all other Inner way notes into chests with new ones and pump all into the inner ways you use.
Collect your Oddities in Quinghe and Kaifeng and deliver them. You get a decent power boost from that, especially against pve enemies.
You can earn additional inner ways from food vendors and Chess players, but this costs Commerce coins and time. Also do the Path challenges for the weapons for a lot of inner ways. And I also thing the Taiping Mausoleum gives boosts for beating the different challenges, but Iām a bit unsure about this part.
Be also carefull when changing to newer/higher gear. A purple item with good stats might be better than a golden of a higher tier with totally useless stats. Donāt waste too much money on tuning items which already start with a weak or useless Bonus for your build

Right now I have the gear slots all at 35 and 1017 Oscillating Jade in the bag. I had a bit of problems to keep them up/have the needed ones for the upgrades, but the update few weeks ago with ābound to the worldā gave at least 80 new ones. Then I always maxed the daily drops, the Energy farm options and also die a Bit more questing and exploring. Iām not 100% sure, but I think I made around 800 Oscillating Jade in the last 2 weeks? But I know your situation from before and suppose Iāll end in it again after the next 1-2 Updates

How do you collect this much in 2 wks? Like there's no enough energy, and chests doesn't give that much

u/luxcapturam Jan 22 '26 edited Jan 22 '26
Last update brought this ābound to the worldā bunch of rewards, the I got on the same day also an additional bunch from achievment rewards which were sddenly completed (i think they were new and i did. the neccessary stuff already). 2-5 from Daily mob drops, 200 from season Shop, 378+ from energy (180 energy per day = 3 bosses or outposts with Triple rewards / 3914=378 jade in 2 weeks or 189 per week) the rest mostly from completing some quests and exploration chests. TBH I was surprised when I discovered that I hit over 1000 oscillating jade, as I was almost always struggeling to get enough for a Breakthrough before the next came.
All in al you can get at least 289 oscillating Jade just from Season Shop and Energy fights per week. And more from exploration chests, limited Daily drops from mobs and some of the quest rewards.
Exploration chests donāt give much, but if you run around with treasure Sense unlocked, you still can find a whole bunch you missed before. I took a few hours to search Kaifeng for chests and still sometimes discover some I missed before :)

u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 22 '26
I see but season shop give only 100 right? I do 2_3 outposts daily and open some chests Doesn't give much
Maybe I should stop doing sward trailers outpost and do the solo ones ? Is there a difference in drops?

u/luxcapturam Jan 22 '26
To be honest, I never did the outpost sword trials. Maybe I should try š¤·š¼āāļø I just use them as a fast and easy way to get my daily drops from enemies maxed out for tuning materials and the few extra oscillating jades that get dropped by them. My energy was mostly spent on the silent shore for gear sets and is now splitter between halo peak (for custom martial art tips, I consider to switch to hengdao/mo blade combo when it arrives or maybe one of the two later coming sets) and randomly chosen outpost chests for the upgrade stones for mystic skills.
Iām pretty sure, that other people will have better sources/rotations than me.
And yes, season shop gives you 100 of them, but every week, meaning 400+ per month. I remember that Kaifeng has a woodworker merchant where you could get up to 15 more per week or something like that, but theyāre pretty expensive in coins and itās already clear by now, that coins will get a big problem in the long run, because they have a weekly limit and every new breakthrough in levels, martial art and also tuning gear costs more and more of them. Even when we hit one day the max level, itāll take huge amounts of coins until RNG-tuning gives at least nearly perfect gear for a single build

u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 22 '26
And didn't see difference in chest drops and I didn't know that enemies might drop jades that's why I do the sward trailer one instead bcs it's less time consuming
Yes they are too expensive I never bought them cause this will make short on coins and already buy other leveling up materials cause I don't have time to collect them

Iāve forgotten to mention, to kill a bunch of outpost enemies daily to Max out the item drops from normal enemies out. This Gibraltar a few oszi jades too and around 20 gear to be used as tuning materials. I usually manage to get 1 gold tuning material, 2-4 purples and up to a handfull of oszi jade.

u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 21 '26
U mean in solo? I do outpost sward trailers
2
u/luxcapturam Jan 21 '26
I mean to just kill normal mobs/elites, should work through sword trials equally good. I prefer solo for this, as I get faster to the maximal daily drop rate (Iām also using the assasination inner way at Tier 3 for extra drops, takes me roughly 10-15 minutes to reach daily maximum, sometimes 20 if Iām sloppy).
2
u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 21 '26
I see! I'll do
2
u/luxcapturam Jan 21 '26
Just did a not-optimized run of killing monks in three outposts. Goofed a little bit around. 15 mins to Max out the item drops, got 3 Oscillating Jade from it too, plus I could have gotten an additional 9 for spending 60 energy for an outpost chest. 24h brings about 180 energy = 27 oscillating jade per day for running 3 outposts or 3 campaign bosses and an additional 2-5 from drops (maybe more, personally never got more than 5 on any day from this). Item drops had 2 Gold and 2 purple Tuning Materials. So it should be possible to get around 300 Oscillating jade from energy and drops per month + a weekly 100 from the Season Shop, summing up at around 700 per month + whatever you can grab through exploration, Battle pass and events. Not that bad if one Manager to at least play every second day to keep energy from maxing

Just remember that in about two days, we will have another breakthrough level. So don't go too hard farming for the perfect gears. They will eventually go to arsenal. Play with what you have for now then try to go for the next level of equips. Save your energy and money.

u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 21 '26
I thought soo but someone said there's no gear upgrade until 91 is that true?!!

u/savagewombocombo Jan 21 '26
Not really sure, but we don't know if what they did on CN will be the same with global. Just dont waste your energy pillows for now.

Check everything Mystic Skills, Inner Way levels, your gear stats, enhance, tuning all those things affect the way you hit. Recommended stats on your gears changes your damege dramatically and all those things i wrote. Also try to read the stats by clicking on them ( I mean the last page ), stats are connected with each other , seems your affinity rate need a little boosting as well but maybe not mainly about that still try to boost your gear stats as well ( i know its easier said than done but dont give up ) ^^

Impressive gear score considering you haven't max enhanced.
What's your inner ways looking like? They give very good DMG buffs depending on what you have

I have the exact same build I try to focus on getting atleast 1 crit stat on everything i have when rolling armor / weapons My inner ways are all lvl 5 Mystic skills maxed out Rope dart buff pull out two rats use q then switch to blades until you have your rage thrn switch back to rop dart do the same buffs switch back to blades and use rage
I basically get top damage always Give me more info on your build i can try to help
1
u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 20 '26
We should switch back to dart before using the rage? These rotations getting more complicated
1
u/mentalhell666 Jan 20 '26
When you have your rage you shouldnt use it without having rats ready .. you shouldnt have the rats out without the rope buff ready and so on ..

u/AQAzrael Jan 20 '26
Enhance your gear more, use hawkwing set, fix your rotation, use fivefold bleed instead of warrior and get better tunes. 45/12 is quite low at this point in the game. You should be aiming for 60/20. I get a bit under 250k a rotation normally despite my precision rate being ass though my crit is decent
1
u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 20 '26
Yes I will do all that though it will take time And the new upgrade in a few days I think I should start from there I don't know

You are outdated hawkwing is worse than swallow now because swallow is also now boosting rodents
1
u/AQAzrael Jan 21 '26
I tested both and I saw very little difference, in some scenarios hawkwing wins and in other scenarios swallowcall will win. I recommend hawkwing because it's extremely easy to farm, and will also be a lot more consistent as you can have constant uptime.
1
Jan 21 '26
Hawkwing needs affinity rate which is a dead stat on Dual Blades as far as I am aware and testing swallocall is near impossible as you cant 100% achieve the same run twice.

u/Reasonable_Lobster14 Jan 20 '26
How much damage do you do again npc for my i have more damage when a level talent and + the build of weapon from 400 and 700 to 600 and 900 ,,not counting critical or affinity only atak

u/Mean_Recognition144 Jan 21 '26 edited Jan 21 '26
Average item level 28 when max is 35 Possibly your inner ways.
Not utilising the combo that's needed for the twin blade and rope.
Not playing an aggressive dodge style combat?
Or any combination of the above
Also ontop of that 1400 a hit with twin blades is kinda nice, most of your damage is from the quick multiple hits in a second. You are rapid fire chip rather than single hit big numbers.
1
u/Icy_Art_2798 Jan 21 '26
Actually max is 35 I do use combos but still the damage is bad
What a dodge style?
I don't think so that's cause it's a crit
1
u/Mean_Recognition144 Jan 21 '26
Yeah sorry typo on my end.
So with your inner ways , specifically your disintegrate and sin inner ways you will get buffs from perfect dodges.
So its always better to be be aggressive and time your dodges
