Great Swords
Great swords are the largest sword type Coen can use. They trade attack speed for weight and damage, which suits players who block and punish rather than chain fast combos.

Good to know
- Sword type changes how fast Coen attacks.
- Weight is what separates a heavy great sword from a quick short sword.
- Heavy blades like battle cleavers and billhooks count as great swords in weapon databases.
- Legendary weapons come in great sword form too.
What it's good for
Big hits per swing. Good against armoured soldiers and tough monsters where you want each opening to count.
Compared with
Short and long swords swing faster. A great sword asks you to read the enemy and strike in the gaps instead of trading blows.
