⚔️ How to Play Dual Swords in the Mists (Albion Online)

Dual Swords with Avalonian Plate Helmet and Mercenary Jacket is a high-pressure build for solo Mists content. Its main strengths are mobility, sustain, and the ability to punish both squishy and melee opponents.

🧠 General Gameplay

Build up 3 Heroic Charges (Q) before fully engaging.
Engage using F (Assassin Shoes), as the cooldown is low.
Use (Avalonian Plate Helmet) to remove enemy boots or key chest abilities like Assassin Jacket or Mercenary Jacket.
Activate (Mercenary Jacket) during extended trades to heal on hit; a good idea is to pop the jacket and then use (W) to heal quickly.
(Hunter Shoes) provides an extra engage/disengage tool.

Tip: Your full combo: build stacks → use F to engage → pop jacket for healing → use helmet to remove roots/stuns → use E to keep chasing the enemy.

⚔️ Facing Ranged Builds

Stack Q at a distance, using the map terrain to approach unseen.
Use to quickly close the gap and deal damage.
Cleanse slows with and use E for burst.
Time to heal through poke damage, and you can also use mobs to help you heal.

Pro Tip: Don’t use your helmet or jacket too early — save them for enemy big cooldowns or kiting attempts.

🛡️ Facing Melee Builds

Always keep 3 stacks to maintain move speed.
Force out enemy defensives, then use yours (E, helmet, jacket) for the counter-burst.
Heal up with during extended fights.
Use to remove important enemy chest abilities.

Tip: Against burst melees, disengage after your initial combo, then re-engage once your cooldowns are ready.

🥇 Advanced Tips

Your combo shines when you catch the enemy off guard. Use Assassin Shoes to always stay close to your target, preventing them from escaping.
Eating gives a big heal and increases your max HP—it's a great combo with the Smuggler Cape. Always use this food.
The Healing Potion is OP, it restores 18% of your max HP; with the Smuggler Cape, this is a huge heal.
The Smuggler Cape adds extra sustain, but be careful not to use two potions in a row and overwrite the healing effect.
