'''Dual-wielding''' is a form of combat, wherein one uses a pair of [[weapons]] in conjunction with one another. This is often to allow an easy shift between long and short-ranged attacks.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Most [[Assassins]] of the High Middle Ages would only dual-wield [[throwing knives]] alongside a [[Short blades|short blade]].<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Renaissance]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] and his Assassin recruits were able to dual-wield multiple combinations of weapons. Other than the throwing knives and short blade pair, Ezio could wield the [[Hidden Gun]] with any primary, medium-ranged weapon – such as [[swords and maces]] – and [[poison darts]] with the [[Poison Blade]]. His recruits wielded their Hidden Gun with almost any other weapon.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> During his time in [[Constantinople]], Ezio could also dual-wield a variety of [[bombs]] with his primary weapon.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Golden Age of Piracy]],[[ Edward Kenway]] dual-wielded two swords, and multiple pistols.<br />

During the [[American Revolutionary War]], [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] would always dual-wield his weapons in combat, using combinations such as a [[tomahawk]] or swords alongside his [[Firearms|flintlock pistol(s)]]. He often used his hidden blade with almost any other weapon, using the pivot attachment to use it as a dagger.Haytham Kenway also dual-wield his weapons in combat using his sword and hidden blade.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Louisiana Rebellion]], [[Aveline de Grandpré]] dual-wielded her weapons in combat. The weapons she dual-wielded include, a [[Whip|whip]], firearms, swords, knives, a [[Blowpipe|blowpipe]], a [[Machete|sugar-cane machete]] and Hidden Blades.<ref name="ACL">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Only a few enemies, such as [[Papal Guard]]s, [[Cesare Borgia]],<ref name="Brotherhood"/> and the [[Janissaries]],<ref name="Revelations"/> were able to dual-wield; using a short pistol alongside a longsword in combat. [[Officers]] and [[Jager]]s would also dual-wield weapons in a similar manner.<ref name="AC3" /><br />
