How to get the most out of them
- Raise the basic one to level 10: the Sanguine Twin unlocks the family execution for all dual weapons.
- Pair them with another family: you carry two main weapons and switching restores all your Sha-Chi; the stowed weapon goes on cooldown.
- Power Surge: each weapon has its own (L2) and it costs 1 Sha-Chi Essence.
- Family accessory: the Quick Hand Pair gives +10% damage with this weapon type.
