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 Ninja class often has this ability innately, as does the Monk job in Final Fantasy V and the Thief dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2.

 * Game Description: May double your attacks.
 * Obtained: Warrior Level 25
 * Obtainable: Blue Mage Level 80
 * Blue Mages can set Acrid Stream and Demoralizing Roar to obtain the Double Attack trait.
 * Obtainable: Automaton with Automaton Coiler (Double Attack Rate: 5%~40%, varying by Maneuvers).
 * Job Traits are always active.
 * Rate of activation is 10%.
 * Each Merit Points 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 and Warrior 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 are all different wordings of the same effect and 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.
 * Example: Faith Baghnakhs can produce an additional attack on both hands (consuming 2 virtue stones), and each of these 4 attacks are subject to possibly Double Attacking.
 * 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.
