* Allows two one-handed weapons to be used at once.
* Reduces the combined delay of these weapons by the Dual Wield % listed above, increasing the frequency of attack rounds.
** (Delay<sub>1</sub> + Delay<sub>2</sub>) {{math|times}} (1 - Dual Wield %) {{math|divide}} 2 = New Delay per Hand
*** [[TP]]/hit is calculated using the above Delay instead of the weapons' listed Delays. This new lower Delay means fewer TP are gained per strike.
*** While Dual Wielding, both weapons are considered to have the same Delay, even if their listed Delays do not match.
* Dual Wield is subject to the 80% global delay reduction cap as follows:
** (1 - Dual Wield %) {{math|times}} (1 - Haste %)&nbsp; {{math|ge}} &nbsp;0.2
** Dual Wield in excess of the 80% global delay reduction cap will further reduce TP gain per hit without increasing the frequency of attack rounds.
* Because Dual Wield reduces TP/hit, it is optimal to prioritize Haste over Dual Wield as much as possible when aiming to minimize total delay.

=== Regarding Weapon Skills ===

While Dual Wielding, all [[Weapon Skills]] gain an additional hit from the offhand weapon beyond the listed number of hits. This hit can also proc [[:Category:Multi-Attack|Multi-Attack]], subject to the global limit of 8 hits per attack round. For [[:Category:FTP Replicating WS|fTP Replicating WS]], the offhand hit(s) will have the same [[fTP]] as the mainhand hits. For all other WS, offhand hit(s) have an fTP of 1.

=== Regarding Offhand Stats ===
The following stats generally have full effect on both weapons:
* [[Delay]] (before modification by Dual Wield)
* [[:Category:Base Stats|Base stats]] (STR, DEX, VIT, AGI, INT, MND, CHR)
* [[:Category:Derived Stats|Derived stats]] except Critical hit rate (Accuracy, Attack, Evasion)
* Other direct combat modifiers with exceptions noted below (Magic Attack Bonus, Subtle Blow, Weapon Skill Damage, Job Ability duration bonuses, Critical Hit Damage, etc.)

The following stats only take effect when the weapon is worn in the main hand:
* [[TP Bonus]], except for [[TP_Bonus#Eligibility|Magian weapons]]
* Parrying skill
* Magic Accuracy skill
* any unique Ultimate Weapon stats (all job-specific bonuses on [[Mythic Weapons]], [[Aftermath]] effects, etc.)
* all augments on Ultimate Weapon-class weapons (including [[:Category:Superior_Equipment#Superior_5_(Su5)|Su5 Weapons]])

The following stats apply separately to the hits from their own hand only:
* [[DMG]]
* [Weapon Type] skill
* [[Enspell]] damage
* [[Critical Hit Rate]]
