Class Details
|
The Dual Wielder is a Tier 2 class that you can unlock once you reach level 15. Alternatively, this class can be purchased for 
200.
Overview[]
This is a class that equips two weapons rather than one, like the name suggests. It's practically an upgraded variant of the Swordmaster class, with all of its skills being more effective though it's also the first class to have a ultimate skill.
One of the key features is its ability known as Combat Rhythm, which increases attack tempo while also doubling your critical chance. As you slay each enemy, the timer of this ability replenishes to the cap of 9 seconds, which you can also keep the timer going if you activate the skill again.
Blade Dance releases 28 swords that hits twice from the initial contact to the explosion. The amount of damage is quite formidable, especially if you also have Combat Rhythm active.
Tips and Tricks[]
- Because of Combat Rhythm, Dual Wielder is capable of being effective with a Crit +10% sword.
- Most of the time Dash Strike is powerful enough to keep the rhythm going since it would have enough output to kill a small mob. Cross Slash and Blade Dance is usually for crowds or attacking bosses from the burst damage.
- Almost any pet that deals damage or buffs the player's output is best for a build simply because rhythm can also apply the critical chance onto the pet. These can include Red Lion, White Foxdeer, Vane, Fallen King and Klaus being optimal pets.

Trivia[]
- The Dual Wielder class was the first class introduced to the World // Zero game.
- This class is a reference to the anime 'Sword Art Online', specifically its protagonist, Kirito. Kirito is a Dual Wielder and this class' ultimate is based off Kirito's best skill in Sword Art Online, Starburst Stream.
- The Dual Wielder's abilities are based around fast attacks that can go through multiple enemies such as Cross Slash.
- A Dual Wielder's damage is the combined average of the two swords. Same goes to Berserker.
- Pets used to deal 2x damage on this class along with Berserker and Shadowblade due to a bug of the damage calculator not averaging the 2 weapons they hold. However, this is patched.
- Fortunately, one of the major features of this class still exists and that's how the critical stack mechanic works. If both longswords have critical chance, it'll add together. This meaning your max critical chance is 30% without Combat Rhythm.
- It used to have 12s duration cap Combat Rhythm. It later was nerfed to 9s duration cap in the Status Effect Revamp update.
- This class is the best for the Vane raid boss event when equipped with 15% Burn Chance & 15% Vampiric because of the vampiric perk toggling the burn damage whenever damage is inflicted while cursed is applied, and this has ridiculous attack speed. It's said this will be patched 7/26/2024 for the release of challenge mode.
