Dual Falcon Blade or Dual Metal Slime swords?

[Osamaru]

I managed to get super lucky and hit a Royal Jelly Flush on the 1000 token Table, and doubled it twice to walk away with 2mil tokens.
But I wanted to know, is it better to use dual Metal Slime swords, or stick with the Dual Flacons?
I'm not sure how the Damage calcualtions really work.

[Osamaru]

Anyone know?

My gut says dual metal slime swords because the drop off on your off hand is hugely significant, although, it might be slightly better to have a falcon blade in the off hand?

I wouldn't really know without testing and if you're worried about it you could always save, try one combo, reload, try the other, then decide. If you're just at the casino for the first time, though, having either combo will make you way more powerful than you need to be and carry you for a long time, and eventually you'll be able to craft your own metal slime (and liquid metal slime) swords anyway

Also worth noting that Falcon Slash moves don't fully benefit with Falcon Blades; for example, you only get 3 hits from a Falcon Slash move even if you're dual wielding two Falcon Blades (the primary weapon is the one that gets used twice in the Falcon move, which is why it's better to have a stronger weapon in the primary hand)

Falcon blade if you want to save on mp and rely on standard attacks. Skill based attacks, it's better with higher atk weapons.

Anyway, all said weapons get obsolete...

In post game you can get Uber Falcon Blades recipe from the casino in Octagania. Honestly, dual wielding kind of sucks in this game. I was doing way worse damage dual wielding falcon blades then I did with a simple two handed weapon. Erik is the only character that gets a passive that lessons the offhand penalty. Dual wielding metal swords will be nice for fighting metal slimes though.

Generally anything that gives you highest possibe attack is better cause it's used in skill calculations unless it's magic based skill like giga skills, big bang and quadraslash. Uber falcons are only better for normal attacking. If you got maxed strength anything goes if you don't you might wanna use greatsword. It has higher attack thus damage is higher from skills.

My advice. Don't buy the swords. Save your tokens for part 3. You will get a recipe that allows you to craft metal slime swords. If memory serves its available in Arboria from a quest and allows you to craft every metal slime weapon.

Do get the Gringham Whip though. Its the best you'll find in part 2 and you'll get a recipe to upgrade it.
