What it does

The twinaxe's rhythm, on the core Third Blow's trigger (a fresh LMB press from 60 % of the last swing's recovery to 0.25 s after it ended; a held auto-repeat, a dodge or a swing that hit nothing resets the count). The 4th consecutive landed blow in rhythm is a double-beat: both blades fall together, two fresh hits of 0.9x (1.8x), the left 0.04 s after the right, in the hack cone (100 degrees, 1.3 tiles), knock 160, 1 gash and stagger 8. It costs 14 stamina (the swing's 6 + 8). Then the count starts again. In perfect rhythm the pair deals 4.8x in 1.2 s against 4.0x (+20 %). Only with a twinaxe in hand; an axe keeps the core Third Blow.

Edge: Short Oars

The double-beat comes on every 3rd blow in rhythm instead of the 4th (+33 % as often).
