what are the pros and cons of getting into dual wielding in elden ring
_EternalDivine
For straight damage output, dual-wielding weapons delivers higher dps through rapid strikes, while being especially effective with jump attacks and status effects. Just remember it drains stamina faster, so manage your green bar carefully.
Two-handing gives you that 50% strength bonus which is perfect for meeting weapon requirements, plus better blocking stability and guard breaks. Works great if you're running a strength build or need that extra oomph to stagger enemies.
Quick breakdown for situations: go dual-wield when you want aggressive pressure, status buildups like bleed, or need to handle groups. Switch to two-handed when facing shield users, need controlled single-target damage, or want more efficient stamina usage. Both styles work fine, but dual-wielding generally performs better in most pve content, while two-handing shines against specific enemy types and boss encounters.
