Twinblades in Dark Souls II are a type of Weapon that are new to the Souls series, they are different to other sword weapons in that they have two blades attached to each opposite side of the weapon. Twinblades are best used two-handed, where they are capable of dealing a fast flurries of attacks that can possibly stunlock an opponent when landed. Twinblades cannot perform a parry when used with two hands, but possible when wielded with one hand. Wielding a Twinblade with one handed will slow down its attack speed and weaken its damage output. Twinblades can wear out easily when used heavily on armored opponents, as well as enemies who possess high health. This page covers a list of all Twinblades in Dark Souls 2.

Only one of these is a pure dex weapon. And you need to be in ng++ to get it

Try 2-handed R1 against bosses or any enemy that doesn't get knocked back. It absolutely slays. Twinblades are boss-killers.

Is it just me, or does the base Twinblade degrade hella fast. Like way too fast.

Idk about the others but the base Twinblade has terrible reach. You have to get so close to land every hit that it's just not worth the risk.
Spears and thrust swords are just better dex weapons all around.
Amazing weapon type until you realize you either go quality or strength (unless you put an elemental infusement on it which can let you go with all any other stat other than dex), which makes no sense for a weapon like this. Oh, what's that? the Curved Twinblades is for dex builds you say? Lol, well good luck getting it cause you either git gud at pvp with a weapon you plan to get rid off as soon as you get the one you're interested on or go through 2 full playthroughs and half of another just to get to try it out.
Overall the twinblades are a great addition to the series and should have been in Ds3. Sadly in Ds2 this weapons suffer the most out of hitbox issues. Since the two handed moveset of this weapon type relies on multi hit combos to deal damage this weapon will often miss a few hits here and there despite the blades clearly going through the model of the enemy. Sadly this means sometimes you'll be getting rid of enemies in one combo and other times enemies will immediately retaliate or dodge out of you attack. This is true in PvP as well.
Twinblades are actually in the third! You can pick between the Sellswords and the Wardens. Oh wait, you meant the fun version of twinblades...

It feels as if the follow-up attacks are faster that the initial ones, i.e from running attack to normal attack spam feels like the first normal attack is faster than without an attack action beforehand

Im not saying id do better... But the moveset is really dissapointing.

Where is the earliest place I can get one? Regardless of which kind, just looking for one to start me off with.
