MH Wilds Proof of a Hero 31:00 Dual Blades

I have to accept that my Dual Blades runs achieve better times than my Long Sword runs, and this is disappointing for me because I really like Long Sword and want it to be my go to weapon, and it usually is, but for Challenge Quests and joining other players, Dual Blades just gets better times when I use it. Don't get me wrong, I like to use all the weapons; but I can't deny Long Sword is my favorite...I don't really know if it is a stronger weapon or I just play it better, but I think I am equally skilled (or unskilled) in both, and I hope the devs pick up on this and give Long Sword a little boost in the future. I tend to think too that, with respect to my runs for this quest, Dual Blades and Bow are probably equal in strength and I don't really have a preference between these two. I forgot to show my loadout for this quest. For Rey and Uth, I use Udra Helm and Braces, Gog Beta Mail, Dahaad Coil, Rathalos Greaves and a Latent Power charm to get Latent Power 5, Constitution 4, Agitator 4, Resentment 3, Burst 3 Stun Resistance 3, Adrenalin Rush 2, Evade Window 2, Bind Resistance 2, Earplugs 2, Speed Eating 2 and Aquatic Mobility 1. Significantly, for this quest, I eat for a tumbler meal to give me effectively evade window 5, which I really need... I also wanted to get Earplugs 2, which is really important when monsters meet. It was quite difficult to come up with this loadout and it took me some time. For Nu Udra, I swap the Gog mail for Rey Mail so I can get Fire Resistance 10 (plus 10 with meal) and add adaptability to replace constitution. My charm is 2 Earplugs. For Arkveld I use the same as Nu Udra but sacrifice Constitution for Dragon Resistance 3 and put the Counterattack charm back on since I don' t really need the Earplugs anymore. As usual, I don't have any special set bonuses or use any buffs. I use Rocksteady once when Uth Duna comes out though... Anyway, I'll continue trying different weapons for this quest...
