Would Duality working with combo effects be a bad idea?

I though that Duality did not consider combo bonuses?

So when you do AE under Duality, do both hits do roughly the same damage? Or does 1 hit do ~3x the damage of the other?

If the latter is true, then the best thing to use Duality on would be the 150 potency combo starter.

Combo bonus Potency is added. Additional effects that affect the target or the Ninja(huton) are not.

So say you used Duality on Dancing Edge. The debuff placed is applied only once. But if used in a combo you land that 260 potency attack twice in a row.

So if you hit for say 1000. You would hit for 1000 again. Give or take.

With this said your highest potency weapon skill is Aeo Edge. So at rear you turn a 320 pot attack into a 640 pot attack.

It doesn't double Combo Bonus or Additional Effect. So Armor Crush has Combo Bonus of "Extends Huton duration by 30s to a maximum of 70s." And Mutilate has an Additional Effect of "Damage over time." But Armor Crush has a Combo Potency (listed separately from the Combo Bonus) of "220 (280 when executed from a target's flank)." Since Duality does not say it does not apply Combo Potency twice...well, you get the combo potency twice. It's actually pretty clearly written, once you look at a few other tooltips.

Edit: And now I need to go make a localization post about how AC and AE handle their potency descriptions differently...
