Slicing enemies with style and performing spin attacks to cause AOE damage is so much fun with Twinblade. It is a weapon with sharp edges on both sides and is wielded from the middle. It is most effective when surrounded by normal enemies and getting out of sticky situations.

Twinblade Playstyle
There are only two setups to use with Twinblade. You can use a two-hand Twinblade to perform a spin attack in rapid succession or dual-wield the weapon to perform multiple jump attacks.

Make sure to use talismans such as Rotten Winged Sword of Insignia, Millecent’s Prosthesis, and Godfrey Icon to increase the damage of each successive hit.
