Heat sword vs dual heat sword?

[Balgore]

So I have the heat sword, and the dual heat sword in the cooker. Is there any reason you'd use the one-handed sword vs the dual wielded ones?

Also I foolishly grinded and made two head swords thinking they would be required in the blueprints for the dual heat sword, but apparently they arent. Should I just sell the extra heat sword, or level it first? I'm guessing there is no reason to have two of the same weapon?

Thanks

Both suck. End of story.

Level everything to 30 before you sell them. You need higher mastery rank to unlock more weapons and increase daily standing cap for syndicates.

Those weapons are not that great. Very good for beginners. Slam attacaks can set enemies on fire in big AoE and they're better than Skana

But if it’s the same weapon it’s useless to level.
Also to the OP.
Neither

Heat Sword and Dual Heat Sword are completely different weapons and aren't useless to level

Oh, I didn't notice, yeah leveling up the same weapon is indeed useless

Great thanks. Final noob question, what exactly is Status and mods that effect it? Most weapons have a value of like 5%. I'm guessing that's the heat swords fire effect?

again, crimson dervish. its a stance mod for single swords taht instantly increases their viability, as the mod has amazing force procs. coupled with a status build, your dinky heat sword c an carry you far.

Dual heat swords are the only melee weapon worth using, thats the difference.

Status is really hard to explain.

Different mods can make different “status’” on your weapon. Let’s say you put fire in there. Now you have a fire status. All your attacks do fire damage now. Different types of status damage is strong against some enemies but weaker against others. For example, I think fire is strong against infested, so you would do extra damage to them. If it’s not strong or weak to them it just does the damage stated while modding next to fire (I think.)
Then there is status PROCS, these are effected by status chance. Each status effect has different procs, cold slows down enemies, while fire stuns them and does a certain amount of fire damage over a period of seconds. The higher your status chance the higher chance for the specific status effect to proc.

Also you can mix elemental mods to get different status’
(For example, if you put a fire mod and a cold mod on something, it turns into a blast status. Which does have a status effect of its own)

Have you actually put any effort into using the dual heat swords or have you just dismissed them because they seem like a weak weapon? I have used them lots and I can tell you that they are very strong in almost every situation.
