Bellring Games' recommended beginner setup for the Dual Blades Shadowstrix, published in the official Mistfall Hunter Discord. The official loadout selects Spinning Slash, Inspiring Impale on the skill side, allocates 7 talent points, and flags 5 affixes as the gear priorities to hunt for. Open it in the editor below — skills and talents come pre-filled exactly as published, and any change you make becomes your own shareable link.

The setup selects these on top of the weapon's basic kit — each class's core weapon actions are always available and are not part of the selection.

Advantage Buildup
LightweightLv 8
When performing Light Strikes, Heavy Strikes, and casting skills with dual blades equipped, one dodge can be performed. This dodge still costs dodge energy but allows for earlier recovery cancellation.

Flurry Strike can now be charged up to 2 times. Lv.2 Charge: Increases Damage Multiplier and dash distance.
Spinning Slash Enhancement
UnstoppableLv 4
Gain Super Armor for a short time when casting Spinning Slash.

Shadow DanceLv 2
Bloody Blade Dance can be quickly activated after a Dodge. Using Bloody Blade Dance this way temporarily halts dodge energy recovery.

Key affixes (5)
The gear priorities the official setup calls out. The source lists them without slot assignments, so they are shown the same way here — hunt for them on whatever slots roll them.
Fervor(Offensive) — After hitting an enemy, increase Physical Damage and Magic Damage for Xs, stacking up to 5 times. Upon reaching the required level, when the number of stacks is greater than or equal to 3, increase Defense Penetration.
Valor(Offensive) — Increases Attack. Upon reaching a certain level, also increases Defense Penetration.
Elusive(Utility) — Reduces Dodge Energy Cost.
Vitality(Utility) — Increases Maximum Energy. Upon reaching a certain level, when entering a state of Energy Overdraft, you become immune to that specific instance of Energy Overdraft. Cooldown: Xs.
Strife(Offensive) — Increases Melee Weapon Damage. Upon reaching a certain level, increases Melee Weapon Damage for each nearby enemy, up to 3 stacks.
