Greatsword

The greatsword is one of two two-handed weapon types in Echoes of Aincrad. It gives up the ability to carry a shield in exchange for longer reach and heavier strikes.

Role

Greatsword play is about spacing and timing big hits. Its windups are slow enough that weaving it into a combo requires either patient opening reads or a reliable companion team-up, but the damage on a clean hit is higher than any one-handed option.
