which endgame dual blades would be the best out of these

[DahPython]

Shattering Flames II or Smoldering Kingdoms

Building all elemental dual blades, kind of stuck on fire. which would be the better choice out of these in the long run of end game etc.

If we truly talk about endgame, non of them, Kjarr DBs & Safi armor 5p are BiS. Come with built in critical element and elemental+affinity boost from safi.

If we only talk about your option, smoldering kingdoms is better, more element and sharpness.

Why exactly these? I haven't been lucky in obtaining any of the Kjarr DBs, just get other weapons I don't use. I'm asking about Anja Twinrippers II.

Maybe because it has highest raw and element, and custom augment. But the drawback is -20% affinity and blue sharpness, but I personally avoid negative affinity.

Kjarr Fire DBs have blue sharpness too though. I'm curious to know if it's still worth using despite that. I'm currently using Safi Fire DB with 3 Safi 2 Teo but is it still just better to use Kjarr Fire with 5 Safi?

Kjarr weapons have critical element, that's like giving 35% (for DBs) elemental damage on crits. Also, +40% affinity and 150ish base element attack from safi 5p are BiS for elemental weapon.

I haven't try safi with full elemental awaken + silver sol 4p, so I might be wrong, but I think Kjarr + Safi 5p is still the BiS for elemental build. Since they're still in the meta slot too.

Anyway, in case for Kjarr Fire DB. On full upgrade and skill, you'll get 890 fire attack and 460 raw attack (highest raw among the other Kjarr, that's why the blue sharpness, to balance things), and 100% affinity easily with safi 5p. (Could be higher number with different build)

Also, why would you using elemental weapon without critical element or true critical element?

I hate the silver sol set & I'm not a fan of any of the Velk pieces. MT on DBs is just something I prefer for that unlimited white sharpness. I rarely ever look up meta sets so it's no surprise I wouldn't know exactly how much I would lose without elem crit.

That said, thx for the input. I might reconsider taking another look at the kjarr Fire DBs.

I won't force one to use meta build, but you know, sometime it's good to take a look at them for some references, then build around it for your personal comfort.

In case of unlimited white sharpness, you can replace it with sharp jewel (if any) and whetfish fin+. Well, you do you. Good luck.

You might as well go Blast or Poison if you don't bother with crit elements.

AnjaTwin2/Kjarr Fire in spite of blue sharpness still math crunches to be the highest dps fire DBs. You might want Mind's Eye deco on though for some fights, since blue can bounce. But usually the bonus is that the blue sharp bar tends to be enormous (in case of Kjarr fire for instance), so you don't have to build any Teo technique or Prot Polish in there, the sharpness is long enough to not worry about it.
