Overview
The Absolute Justice Greatsword is a two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert classified as a greatsword. It is the default starting weapon for Damiane, meaning every player who picks up her questline begins with this blade already equipped. With 20 Attack Power, it sits at the top end of the two-handed weapon damage range and hits hard enough to stagger most common enemies in a single heavy swing.
Greatswords in Crimson Desert trade attack speed for raw damage output. Each swing carries real weight, and the Absolute Justice Greatsword is no exception. Its wide arcs make it effective against groups of enemies standing close together, though the slow recovery between swings leaves openings that faster opponents can exploit. Players who favor an aggressive, commitment-heavy playstyle will find this weapon rewarding from the moment they pick it up.

How to Obtain
The Absolute Justice Greatsword does not need to be found, purchased, or crafted. It is automatically equipped as Damiane's starting weapon when players begin her chapter of the story. Because it arrives at base refinement level, players can immediately begin upgrading it through the refinement system to improve its damage output as they progress.
Given its high base Attack Power of 20, this greatsword remains competitive well into the mid-game. Players who invest refinement materials into it early will find it holds up against enemies that would normally require a crafted replacement.
Combat Tips
The greatsword's sweeping horizontal attacks are its strongest asset. When facing a cluster of enemies, position yourself so the blade's arc catches multiple targets in a single swing. This is particularly useful during early encounters where Damiane faces groups of bandits or militia fighters.
Against single targets, especially bosses, the greatsword's slow recovery is a liability. After each heavy attack, there is a noticeable window where Damiane cannot dodge or block. Learn the timing of boss attack patterns and commit to your swings only when you know the boss is finishing its own combo. Trying to trade hits with a greatsword against aggressive bosses will get you killed.
The 5 core slots give the Absolute Justice Greatsword solid customization potential. Slotting attack-boosting cores early on amplifies its already strong base damage, while defensive cores can help offset the vulnerability that comes with slow swings.
Comparison to Other Greatswords
At 20 Attack Power, the Absolute Justice Greatsword is the hardest-hitting greatsword available. The trade-off is straightforward: no secondary stat bonuses. Other two-handed weapons in the longsword category offer lower base damage but come with Critical Hit Chance or Attack Speed bonuses. Whether raw damage or additional secondary stats matter more depends on your build and which cores you slot.
