How is dual-wield DPS calculated in Anime Zero?

In Anime Zero, Primary Weapon (Slot 1) deals 100% base DPS while Secondary Weapon (Slot 2) contributes 70% off-hand efficiency. Trait damage bonuses, accessory multipliers, and critical hit scaling are compounded across both weapon slots.

What is the highest DPS weapon combination in Anime Zero?

The highest DPS pairing in Update 3 is Cataclysm (LYTH) paired with Flame Director (LYTH) enchanted with the Deadeye trait and Void Arbiter Ring, delivering over 2,400 sustained DPS.

How does the Deadeye trait boost critical damage in the calculator?

Deadeye adds +20% flat damage, +5% critical hit rate, and +50% critical damage multiplier, increasing base critical hits from 150% to 200%+ and drastically accelerating boss clear times.

How Dual-Wield Damage Scaling Works in Anime Zero

Equipping two weapons allows players to benefit from two distinct attack profiles simultaneously. While Slot 1 delivers uninterrupted primary combos, Slot 2 activates off-hand hits at 70% power. Trait modifiers like Supernova (+20% Attack Speed) accelerate both weapons, making dual-slashing builds significantly outperform single-weapon setups.
