Dual Blades' General-purpose strongest equipment uses a configuration with Artian weapons of each element. It is easier to deal damage by increasing Attack, so that's what this focuses on. If the conditions are right, the maximum Affinity goes up to 45%, so use "Corrupted Mantle" to increase Affinity by 30%, and "Dash Juice" to reduce Stamina consumption.
