Great Sword

A towering blade forged for warriors who embrace raw power. Every swing of the Great Sword carries crushing force capable of cleaving through enemies in a single devastating arc.

OVERVIEW:
The Great Sword is a colossal two-handed weapon designed for slow, punishing attacks. It rewards careful positioning and timing with some of the highest per-hit damage in The Forge.

Role: Heavy punisher. Capitalize on enemy openings and deliver massive, fight-ending blows.

Strengths:

  • Extremely high damage per hit
  • Exceptional reach keeps enemies at a safe distance
  • Wide swing arcs capable of hitting multiple enemies
  • Powerful stagger potential against tougher foes

Weaknesses:

  • Very slow attack speed
  • Missed attacks are heavily punished
  • Requires precise timing and positioning
  • Struggles against fast or highly mobile enemies

Overview:

The Great Sword deals 20 damage with a 1.12-second attack speed, resulting in approximately 17.86 DPS. With an exceptional range of 10 and a guaranteed 1/1 crafting chance, it is one of the safest and most powerful late-game heavy weapons available.

How to Obtain:

The Great Sword is crafted at the forge using 40–50 ores. Its guaranteed crafting success makes it the most reliable colossal weapon to obtain. High-multiplier ores such as Rivalite or Magmaite dramatically increase its already massive damage output.

Combat Strategy:

The Great Sword rewards patience, spacing, and precise execution.

  • Wait for enemy openings before committing to slow swings
  • Use the extended reach to strike enemies safely
  • Position carefully to hit multiple targets per attack
  • Pair with defensive or stagger-enhancing runes to survive long windups
