22 Overview
33  
44 Greatswords are two-handed Slash weapons that scale with Agility. They occupy both hands, locking out off-hand pistols, and trade attack speed for reach and heavier per-hit damage. Weapon crafting starts at Weaponsmith Workshop Level 2.
55  
66 The current build exposes four greatswords: one Uncommon baseline, two Rare/Epic Sturdy/Dueling variants, and Soul Eater, the Ghost Captain heirloom with a lifesteal F-attack.

1010 Every hit from this class lands as Slash damage. Windrose sorts weapon damage into three types, Slash, Pierce, and Crude, and enemy defenses respond to each one differently. The same Slash profile that tears through one foe can glance off another, so check what you are fighting before you lean an entire Agility build around a single damage type.

2020 Rare vs Epic Summary
2121  
2222 Every Rare/Epic weapon in this category shares the same scaling mechanics. Ascending a Rare variant at the Weaponsmith Workshop preserves the Rare effect and stacks the Epic bonus on top. The Sturdy prefix weapons in every class jump to Strength, Agility, or Precision (S) at Epic, which is the single largest scaling jump in the game.

3131 Typical Build
3232  
3333 Agility primary and a two-handed armor set. Because the class locks out off-hand pistols, greatsword builds compensate by leaning into Perfect Block timing on the Dueling Greatsword, Posture Point stacking on the Stalwart Greatsword, or situational Vitality scaling on Soul Eater.
3434  
3535 Combat Role
3636  
3737 Greatswords trade speed for reach and per-hit weight, so they reward patience over flurries. Hold spacing, bait an enemy commit, then land a heavy swing into the recovery window. Because the class fills both hands and locks out an off-hand Pistol, a greatsword build leans on its weapon effect instead of a sidearm: Perfect Block timing on the Dueling Greatsword, Posture Point stacking on the Stalwart Greatsword, or the lifesteal special on Soul Eater.
3838  
3939 Agility is the only stat the whole loadout needs, which frees points for Vitality and Endurance. Pairing a greatsword with an Agility firearm such as the Blunderbuss keeps every weapon in the kit scaling off the same stat.
