You begin The First Berserker: Khazan with Dual Wield, a weapon type that is far more than the typical hack-and-slash tool it initially looks like. You can acquire some incredibly helpful skills once you begin to invest skill points in the Ruthless tree.You can combine dash attacks with the Frenzy and Breeze skills to execute a sequence of slashes that only ends when you release the attack input. Standard enemies and smaller guardians are overpowered by it, and boss enemies can also be severely damaged, or at least have their stamina meter reduced. That is why this guide will help with three best Dual Wield builds in the game.
