==== Two-Handed ====  
==== Two-Handed ====  
If you have a single weapon equipped and an empty hand, you are using a two-handed fighting style. Having no weapons at all does not count for this, so to two-hand martial arts you need a claw or boxing glove.
If you have a single weapon equipped and an empty hand, you are using a two-handed fighting style.  


This style gives 1.5x damage, and a bonus to accuracy. It is recommended to use Two-Handed at least temporarily as a low level melee character, due to your low base accuracy.

In Elona there was a penalty for using two-handed with an overly lightweight weapon, but that is not currently the case in Elin.
When your Two-Handed Skill is at Lv.15 or Lv.30 or higher, the effect amount of the weapon enchantment you are equipped with increases.

==== Shield-Using ====  
==== Shield-Using ====  
If you have a shield equipped, you are using a shield-using fighting style. It is possible to use multiple shields and attack using martial arts, exchanging use of a weapon for the additional item stats of a second shield. This style will reduce spell casting success rate similar to heavy armor and will stack with heavy armor's penalty; this effect is similarly mitigated with ranks in the Heavy Cast feat.
When equipped with a shield, you adopt the Shield-Using style.


This style (when the skill is leveled up) gives physical damage reduction and a passive shield bash ability that occasionally paralyzes enemies when you melee attack them.
This style grants passive abilities for Physical Damage Reduction and Shield Bash, which performs an additional attack during melee strikes. However, these abilities require Shield Skill Lv.5 and Lv.10 to activate.
 
Shield Bash activates with a probability based on your Shield Skill level, inflicting the status abnormalities Paralysis and Daze.This equipment style allows for stable combat progression by disrupting enemy actions.
 
* When taking damage while in the Shield-Using style, you gain Shield Skill experience.
* There is a penalty that reduces the success rate and maximum success rate of [[Elin:魔法|Spell]] casting.
 
* By equipping only a shield and no weapon, you can also perform melee attacks with the shield. However, melee attacks with a shield carry a penalty that reduces the hit rate to 75%.


==== Dual-Wielding ====
==== Dual-Wielding ====
If you have two melee weapons equipped, you are using a Dual-Wielding fighting style. For Chaos Shapes, using shields while dual wielding will not give shield-using style bonuses or experience since the style is dual wielding, though you still get the item stats from the shields.
When equipping two weapons, you adopt the dual-wielding equipment style.
 
This style grants additional attacks based on the number of weapons equipped, but all weapons suffer an accuracy penalty (with penalties increasing for the second and subsequent weapons).


This style gives you more potential hits per attack action, but gives an accuracy penalty to all weapons (with each weapon after the first having an increasing penalty).
The accuracy penalty is mitigated by the Dual Wielding skill. At low Dual Wielding levels, the first weapon's accuracy is roughly half normal, while the accuracy of the second and subsequent weapons is reduced to 1/4.
It is generally not advised to dual wield at low levels, until you have gained sufficient accuracy to hit reasonably often even with the penalty.  


Based on testing (by using a full stamina bar on a training dummy with both weapon classes starting at lvl 1 then loading save), dual wielding two weapons of the same class generates the same amount of weapon xp (and in the same amount of time) as single wielding, while dual wielding two weapons of different classes divides the weapon xp between the first and second weapon class on a 3/4 to 1/4 ratio.
While this is a powerful weapon style that increases attack frequency, it's difficult to effectively utilize Dual Wielding in combat until you secure sufficient accuracy and enchantments.


In Elona there was a penalty for using dual-wielding with an overly heavy weapon, but that is not currently the case in Elin.
* Attacks with the second and subsequent weapons yield diminished weapon and Dual Wield skill experience.
* Weapon enchantments only apply to attacks made with that specific weapon. (For example, if Weapon A has a Bane enchantment, it does not apply to attacks made with Weapon B.)
* There is a penalty that reduces the success rate of [[Elin:魔法|spell]] casting.
* In Elona there was a penalty for using dual-wielding with an overly heavy weapon, but that is not currently the case in Elin.
