Dual Swords

The Dual Swords are exactly what their name implies: two Swords, one for each hand. They have the highest Damage per Second and Attack Speed out of the three Sword specializations, making this the perfect weapon to hack and slash through your enemies! Thanks to its versatility, it is a great choice on the battlefield when fighting in big groups.

The Dual Swords are a new specialization under the Swords node in the Destiny Board, replacing the Glaive. This caused quite a shift in the Destiny Board, here’s an overview of what got changed:

The Glaive was moved to the Spears node, replacing the Halberd.

The Halberd was moved to the Axes node, replacing the Scythe.

The Scythe will make its comeback as an Artifact Weapon in the future!

The Dual Swords have a brand new third slot spell: Spinning Blades.

After spinning around, you will deal damage to all enemies around you. The more Heroic Charges you have on you, the higher your damage output will be. If your enemies are other players, they will receive an additional damage of 5% of their health. This 5% is true damage, which means it cannot be reduced by stats. Tanks on the battlefield should beware when encountering a Dual Sword user and avoid Spinning Blades at all cost.

Light Crossbow

The Light Crossbow is a one-handed crossbow, which means you can combine it with an off-hand item of your choice. Due to its high damage output and Area of Effect third spell, it can be extremely effective in group PvE and big open world PvP.

The Light Crossbow replaces the Repeating Crossbow on the Destiny Board. The latter will be available as an Artifact Weapon instead, under the name ‘Weeping Repeater’.

The new one-handed Light Crossbow has Exploding Shot as a third slot spell. This used to be available on the Heavy Crossbow, which instead now has the old Repeating Crossbow spell Sweeping Bolt as its third slot spell.

Exploding Shot deals physical damage and places a bomb on the target. After a few seconds, the bomb will explode and deal damage to the target and its surroundings.
