Double Attack

Double Attack, also known as 2x Cut , Dual Attack, Double Shot, or W-Attack, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It allows the user to attack twice in a single turn with a physical attack.
A more powerful upgrade to Double Attack lies in Barrage. The Monk job in Final Fantasy V and the Thief dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2 have the property innately. Ninjas often have the related Dual Wield ability that lets them equip two weapons at once and attack once with each; Double Attack is defined by both attacks being the same, whereas in dualwielding the player can combine two weapons with different properties.

Double Attack is a property of the Twin Lance weapon, that attacks twice when the user uses the Attack command. If Twin Lance is used as a counterattack it only attacks once.

Double Attack is a job trait that is learned by Warriors (level 25), Blue Mages (level 80) and Automaton with Automaton Coiler (Double Attack Rate: 5%~40%, varying by Maneuvers). Blue Mages can set Acrid Stream and Demoralizing Roar to obtain the Double Attack trait. It is always active and has rate of activation is 10%. Each Merit Point upgrade of Double Attack Rate (WAR Group 1) increases the rate of activation by 1%. These upgrades do not affect WAR as subjob. Rate of Double Attack activation has no difference between Warrior as main job or as sub job unless merited.
Double Attack effects from gear, food or buffs may activate without native access to the job trait. "Double Attack"+1, "Double Attack"+1% or Enhancing "Double Attack" effect will stack. Additional attacks produced by Triple Attack, and to a degree multi-hit weapons are not affected by Double Attack, and only one of these effects can activate at once. Double Attack can trigger on both weapons when Dual Wielding, both hands when using H2H weapons and both attacks on virtue stone weapons. May activate during weapon skills.
On multi-hit weapon skills, Double Attack can activate on any hit of the weapon skill. However, Double Attack cannot induce a weapon skill to hit more than 8 times. Double Attack can never process on Asuran Fists unless one or more hits of the weapon skill miss. TP return for weapon skills will increase by 1 TP every time double attack activates during the weapon skill. May activate during Jump and High Jump.

==Trivia==
*Sazh from Final Fantasy XIII attacks twice per Attack command due to his dual pistols, but though the attack numbers appear twice, he doesn't do more damage than his single-hitting team mates as the damage is divided between the pistols, and therefore is not the same as Double Attack.
