I'd like to mention that Zweihander's chagre R2 is a thrust attack which can be boosted by the Spear talisman. You'll see a MASSIVE 1,5x damage increase if you hit your enemy just in time. Paired with RKR ash of war, charged attack tear and talisman it makes your charged R2s absolutely devastating! I'm not speaking about extremely low stat requirements so even dexterity build could use it. That's why Zweihander is definately the best colossal sword in ER.

Don’t let the holy damage scare you away from the weapon, destined death does insane hp% damage to late game bosses regardless. I absolutely shat on Malenia with it because the ash also stuns her as it hits and then knocks her down when it finishes. It’s also devastating against Elden Beasts massive health bar. The only downside to really consider is that your basic attacks won’t be as strong, but as long as you spam destined death (like you should) you’ll never even notice enemies with holy resistance.

Great sword is so much fun and can be buffed. It can be used immediately if you have a bleed weapon and a golden fowl foot. It's in a carriage that's on the way to the 99k rune dragon (with the foot). Good weapon to try for all players, since your swings are so slow you have to learn to be selective with attacks, no button mashing. This also forces you to dodge which is for some reason much easier using this style. 5th playthrough and it's the most fun so far, got to morgot without having to use any summons and I'm not very good at the game.

Very simply, use a medium shield with carian retaliation or golden retaliation to parry. Small shields are worse in every way but weight.For staggering, use a short sword with face off or any heavy weapon to deal poise damage, switch to misericorde dagger for crit. Daggers can't stagger anything with it's ashes of war after flame of the redmanes was nerfed, unless you use ground slam, which is still worse than switching. Powerstance daggers are terrible with anything but bleed, and are the worst fast weapon for bleed. Without flinch and stagger damage, with low damage, low status build up, and bad ashes, daggers' only advantage is a short attack animation.

I think it's a shame that the troll knight's sword is essentially the same as the troll's golden sword. Since it's a spell the troll knights actually use I think it would be cool if the troll knight sword came with greatblade phalanx built into it, it would make sense as an ash of war and it would really make the weapon really stand out since glintblade phalanx an ash of war that can't naturally be put on colossal swords

Beat every single boss with the Grafted Great sword first play through. The goal of my build was to make myself more a boss than the actual bosses - hits extremely hard, extremely tanky but doesn’t avoid a lot of attacks. What you need is a very heavy and strong armor. Against most bosses you will have to tank hits from time to time as the animation of each of your attacks is just that long. Also you are wasting a shit tone of endurance every hit and weight a lot. You will need to get a lot of endurance otherwise you are never getting more than 2 hits in a row because your endurance will just be spent. Used talismans for raw stats - Endurance, Vitality and Radagon’s soreseal. The last talisman I switched around depending on what I judged most useful at the time. Had 70 strength, 40 endurance, 50 vitality, 25 dexterity when I completed the game. The weapon also scales with dexterity a bit. Kept other stats at the minimum. You will never have any trouble with non Boss enemies excluding the knights with horned helmets. You are just staggering everything to death. Most enemies won’t get to move before they die. Weapon art is awesome and obviously easy to use - you just gain stats and you can truly stack a lot of raw stats with the weapon art + Godrick’s rune even early on. Levelling priority was Strenght -> Vigor -> Endurance -> I levelled dexterity only at the end of the game as I did not know what to put points in and it was giving my weapon more damage than strength was at this point. For my physick I used the one that increases stamina + the one that makes rolling smoother.

What I’ve found works best for the Godslayer’s Greatsword is keeping a second weapon in another main hand slot with the Glintblade Phalanx skill on it. This allows you to quickly break the enemy’s poise in 2-3 casts and then switch to the greatsword skill with a longer window to use its ash of war. Using Phalanx to poise break instead of jump or heavy attacks also leaves you with plenty of stamina to pull off the initial and followup strikes of the black flame skill.

The requirements for the dagger will already be met in order to wield the Black Blade, and the faith scaling for the L2 should benefit some from the higher requirements for the Black Blade.

Guts Greatsword is probably the best weapon on this list. Highest guard boost, longest reach, can change the ash of war and combat affinity too, allowing for more versatility and customisation depending on your situation. Can do both PVE and PVP with it too. The only downside is the weight makes it one of the slower weapons to attack with, but if you get good enough using it abd work on your own timing for rolls and guard counters, you can easily mitigate those shortcomings. The fact is that 80 str with 40 dex vigor and endurance plus Lions Claw AOW with Guts can tear through not just the base game but NG+ and half way into NG2 before needing to alter your build.

Is the R2 on the Watchdog Greatsword the same as on the Guts Greatsword? If the Watchdog Greatsword could actually do an overhead smash then that’s reason enough for me to take it over the Guts Greatsword

I was wondering if you guys could do a build using the zamor curved greatsword

Speeding directly to the Greatsword, rushing up the stats with Radagon‘s Soreseal has made for the most enjoyably easy time in the early to mid game since I dropped a Black Knight weapon for the first time.

I always start a new game saying 'I am not using a big ass sword this time!'....but I always end up with one!

The watchdog great sword has better scaling on elemental infusions then the regular great sword. Thats the niche.

Godslayer's sword was the only weapon that I used for a while that was not one of the katana's (which are my fav)

One thing I wish the Starsocurge greatsword did is when you input the second part of its ash of war it would gravitate rocks to the sword just like Radahn when rocks are attached to his swords. When you do that the rocks give the greatswords and increase in damage and will stay on for maybe 3-5 minutes but it would also make your weapon swings a little bit slower. I hope you all like this idea.
