Tips for Greatswords
  • The Berseker's Blade is a fantastic mid-to-late game option, offering a huge ATK boost and a chance to Dazzle or Oomph. Keep an eye out for it!
  • For fighting Metal Slimes, the Liquid Metal Gooreatsword, Metal Gooreatsword, and Metal King Gooreatsword are your best friends, adding bonus damage specifically to them.
  • If you're up against lots of demons, the Banishing Blade and Demonsbane give you a nice damage edge.
  • Don't underestimate the special effects! A chance to Dazzle or Paralyze can save you a lot of trouble in a tough fight.
  • The Brilliant Blade and Nightcleaver deal light damage, which can be useful against certain enemies.
  • Remember that some of the best Greatswords, like the Brilliant Blade and the various Metal Slime swords, can't be bought and might be found as treasure or rewards.
