Summary
The Greatsword category has tended to be one of the most powerful choices in all theSoulsgames, andElden Ringis no exception. Since they normally boast exceptional range and huge damage output, most Greatswords are viable against every major boss, and devastatingly effectively in PvP as well. While they were typically solely paired with Strength-based builds in previous Souls games, there are a number of Greatswords that can be paired with magic-focused caster builds inElden Ring.
As well as their relative flexibility in terms of builds, Greatswords are also one of the deepest classes of weapons, boasting over 20 different choices. When compared with basicSwords inElden Ring, Greatswords tend to be heavier and slower, but like their lighter counterparts, often come paired with some of the best unique weapon skills in the game.
