Dual Blades (Unique)

Dual Blades is a Unique Skill in Sword Art Online. According to Heathcliff, who is in fact Kayaba Akihiko, this skill is awarded to the player with the fastest reaction time and the chosen player is supposed to be the one who will stand against the final boss (Heathcliff) on the 100th Floor in the Ruby Palace, regardless of the outcome of the said battle. It was awarded to Kirito for being judged to have had the fastest reaction speed in the game. In addition, it also has its own set of Sword Skills unique to it.
In Sword Art Online, Kirito wields Dark Repulser and Elucidator for this sword equip skill. 
Asides from the stats and skills, this unique ability allows for a passive that boosts the lethality of the blades, increasing the damage due to acute knowledge of cutting techniques on just the right sword angle. The weapons also decrease slower in durability.

*Striker Stance - This stance is a permanent buff that can be cancelled and used at will. It increases Kirito's attack rate, attack damage, critical damage, critical hit rate and block break by 60%. He loses 80% defense, parry rate, block rate, steadiness and dodge rate.

*Burst Fire - A buff that increases the damage of his Dual Blades skills for 10 seconds. Has a 30 minute cooldown.
*Breather - A buff that triggers after the use of a Dual Blades sword skill with more than 10 moves. Restores 5% health. Triggers again in 3 minutes.
*Danger's Messenger - A skill that requires Striker's Stance. This skill can only be activated every 60 seconds and lasts as long as an activated sword skill. It only works when Kirito sprints at the foe. As soon as he gets into striking distance, the buff activates. It gives him an additional 10% pierce and 35% attack power. For every strike he throws and that is parried, he gains 3 additional yards that he can sprint to at an additional 15% movement speed. It counts whatever skill Kirito uses. A five move skill fives 15 yards of running. These yards allow Kirito to sprint to another target. He can attack whoever he wants with the range he gets.
