Paired weaponsare an unofficial category of weapons which, when two handed, put a weapon into each hand and replace the guard function with a moveset that utilizes both weapons.These can be found in several weapon classes, and for convenience will be listed here.
Additionally, allweapons (except for the Dark Hand, which cannot be two handed) function as paired weapons.

Notes
- Paired weapons seemingly don't increase the user's effective strength when "two-handed", though this is purelyvisual. Despite there being a red cross on the weapon icon, it will still perform as expected if you would otherwise meet the strength requirementwith the 1.5x strength bonus from regularly two-handing.
- However, this "strength scaling" only applies for meeting stat requirements. You will dealslightly less damage compared to fully meeting the strength requirement, as you won't gain AR from the small amount of virtual strength.You will still deal vastly more damage compared to failing the requirements, consume less stamina, and be able to effectively use theSkill.
