Greatswords are a type of Weapon in Elden Ring. Greatswords are capable of inflicting a massive amounts of damage, but sacrifice mobility, making the player vulnerable and open to enemy and boss attacks if they are not careful. High risk, high reward is the name of the game with these Weapons, but they can pancake many enemies, allowing you to finish them off unscathed.
Greatswords can make use of most Ashes of War, so you should experiment with different ones and see what you like.
Note: Since Patch 1.06, the time required to roll after performing an attack has been reduced, the motion speed of strong attack and charge attack has been increased and the motion speed of Guard Counter has been increased.
Note: Patch 1.09,speed, range, recovery time and guard counter speed of Greatswords weapons has increased.

Fromsoft, pls buff the hyperarmor for the dual wielded greatsword moveset. It’s slower than colossal swords, and attacks can be stunned out of by katanas. It’s good damage but the lack of hyperarmor makes it a terrible pick in pvp.

Why tf are there 21 of these when there are less than half as many Curved Greatswords - and even worse only 4 of weapons like Heavy Thrusting Swords and Scythes?

Man I love great swords, however I think it would be pretty awesome if they had a great sword/Katana in the game. They have added alot more options for katanas in elden ring, so I feel like it could be a cool option, although I could see it being hard to balance

Man, it sucks how little moveset variety there is to this weapons class, it's not that Their movesets are bad it's just that so many of them have the same generic "slashy slash, bash my sword into the ground like a bonehead" moveset the Claymore is the only one that has thrust attacks of any kind, and the Knight's Greatsword Banished Knight Greatsword and Inseparable Greatsword are the only ones with unique movesets otherwise, it's just a bummer when you compare them to the previous games.

Knight's greatsword and claymore are both excellent dueling weapons. Claymore is good if you like going for counter attack hits with the spear talisman, and knight's greatsword is good if you like free-aiming your swings to get early hits

1.09: Stopping by to say that greatswords feel excellent to use now. Used to use them in DS3 all the time but they felt too slow or clunky in Elden Ring. The recent buffs make them soo smooth, and the horizontal 2H slashing R2 that some have come out very quickly and lead perfectly in to your choice of Weapon Art.

Elden ring really hates int/fth builds, cus like four of these thematically should be int/fth and simply arent cus from couldnt be bothered to add int/fth damage scaling for fire, holy, and magic melee. Golden order greatsword having been int/fth wouldve been so good with golden order incants, helphens steeple and deaths poker are death weapons, and all their spells are int/fth too, and blasphemous blade is pure faith while rancor and the other magma stuff is both int and faith.
I just dont understand why theres no synergy between these things with the same origins and would be great for hybrid caster/melee builds and would open back up int/fth builds, ds2 and ds3 did so much more for broader build types

Boring as hell weapon class, they look cool and have different skills but function the same with its boring cavemen swings. Not all of them need a thrust attack, but some like the Ordovis (crucible thrust attack) would benefit greatly. Overall some variety would be nice the swings. Hopefully the DLC can bring some classics over from DS3.

Has anyone else encountered a bug where after a jump r1 into r1 your character glitches for a splt millisecond and does the neutral r1 instead of the follow up r1? I say glitch because it true combos from a neutral r1.

I just found out why so many people hate on these! They just want to spam pokes in pvp! It’s almost like these are better for pve! Elden ring wasn’t made so you could down point on some random person outside raya lucaria. It was made to be a pve experience.

Don’t listen to the souls elitists. These weapons are amazing for their weapon arts. Greatswords are pretty good as weapons, but the only reason you should use them is for their insane unique skills. Some of the best in the game like blasphemous blade, death poker, DMGS, and the sacred relic sword. The infusable ones are useless though.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Dex requirements are intended ! 80% of Greatswords from previous Souls games were Quality weapons, and the same thing applies here.
It doesn't mean they're unusable with Str builds, of course, but if you want weapons made for pure Str, you want Colossal Swords.

It was my favourite weapon class in DS3, one of my favourite in DS1. In ER...it isn't anymore, even though Darkmoon GS is in my top 5 favourite weapons and those with hollowslayer moveset are fun (havent used Ordovis, seems to be cool). The rest are either too ugly or too boring: just the same thing with a different skin and big ass aoe/wave as a skill that feels completely separated from the rest of the moveset.
Many ER weapon classes are a huge improvement compared to DS3, but this one: has much worse running attacks, mostly the same R2s and just dont feel special, while in DS3 almost every greatsword felt unique, they had more R2 thrust variations, like Wolf Knight's one, or Black Knight's. One big plus for ER is backstep attacks that are amazing.

After some number crunching with the Wretch as my class, and 80 STR. The top 3 greatswords w/ the Heavy infusion + one-handed are:
1. Iron Greatsword w/ 724 AR
2. Gargoyles Greatsword w/ 722 AR
3. Banished Knight’s Greatsword w/ 703 AR
Personally I’d go with the Banished Knight’s mainly due to the alternative 2 handed moveset and being only 10 units of weight. Plus I enjoy the design of the sword.

After many many hours of dueling with various Greatswords I came to the conclusion that the Claymore is the most viable hands down in PvP.
Having a Thrust attack is just too important to have, almost feels necessary to be competitive.
Perhaps the dlc will have more moveset variety. Justice for Greatswords.

Well I was using implaing thrust/giant hunt and piercing fang to have a thrust attack and since the last patch they feel even more great. I think knights gs with impaling thrust feel seemless when you do R1 R1 L2. Yeah Claymore is cool but id much rather have the remnants of hollowslayer than a pokey scottish boi

It is very sad that none of the greatswords besides claymore have thrust attacks of any kind. If it's a sword, it's pointy. If it's pointy, you poke with it. As it stands now, they're decent, but it would've been awesome to have a more competent moveset on them.

What kinda weapons do you guys want from up coming DLCs? A "Fullmoon Greatsword" to mirror Ranni's Dark moon greatsword would be so cool. Also I would love to see a Carian Greatsword in material. Carian Knight Sword is a straight sword while troll knight sword looks like a straight sword for trolls, so a material version of the Carian sword spells would be my wish, especially if it has the banished knights gs moveset

I know it wouldn't fit in this universe, but man....I really, really miss the Hollowslayer. Banished Knight's GS is a poor imitation.

Yes only Claymore has thrusts but that doesn't mean other swords should have the same moveset.
From the DLC I want; two greatsword with the heavy attacks of Black Knight Sword and/or Artorias GS and two more with the same r1s as banished/ knight's greatsword but with a thrust and an upward slash follow up instead, same as hollowslayer.

Square off for the infusables and this class is perfect. I also love the Heavy attacks of Death's Poker but I want them on something that looks like a sword

I wish there were other heavy attack choices other than just slashes. Like, yeah. They are not bad but are extremely boring.

The sheaths do clip through some armors, however they also add another layer of fashion. Have nothing in your left hand, then switch to it. Your character will sheath their sword while "power stancing" their fists. Very cool for screenshots and being summoned for co-op. Remove capes for maximum bling.

pokes are the opposite of moveset viriety, didnt colossal swords users teach you that?

Incredibly strong weapon class. Move sets are varied and with the (banished) knight's greatsword, elegant as well. One small thing I'd add to them is maybe a thrust r2 single handed so they can take advantage of the pierce weapon type many of them have.
Additionally, stance (renamed square off and locked to straight swords) would be super dope on this weapon class. Honestly, I can't imagine why it's missing, but I can see it being readded through DLC in the future.

Recovery is too slow because I can't riposte in time after a guard break.

Some of y'alls logic of "no pokes =Literally unusable" is really nitpicky and silly, I do agree that it would be nice if there was a bit more moveset variety to them, but they aren't hot garbage just because not all of them can poke, that's just a really petty reason to shittalk a perfectly good weapon class.

Regular moveset is actually really good. They should remove the Clank sound at it would be somewhat realistic even. If all of them had some sort of running poke or poke on a one handed moveset they'd be perfect. One of those rolling/running overhead slashes for example.

If a DLC introduces a greatsword with the unique elegant banished knight sword's (and knight's greatsword) R1s and also has Claymore pokes, i think that would be something i could really simp for. (unless it looked like **** and/or had a lame weapon art)

I'm not too hard to impress, i see above average sword and go hee-hee, but i do wish more of these got pokes (sucks that the claymore is the only one) and the unique r1s that the Knight's Greatsword, Banished Knight's Greatsword, and Inseparable Sword use, its no deal breaker (unless you are extremely nit-picky) but still, more variety would be great.

Greatswords should be more like longswords with some faster thrusting combos. Right now these are like miniature colossal swords which makes them suck when compared to katanas. They swing from side to side with barely any range.

I just wish there was even a single greatsword with both the Hollowerslayer-style R1s and the thrusting R2s.

Feel so good after the 1.06 patch. Rolling after attacks is much more snappy.
If anyone is curious, the first two R1 swings of any of these are equal in speed to the large club; but then continues into a MUCH quicker third and fourth swing, so combos a little better. Same is true of the first R2 attack whether charged or uncharged, but the second comes quicker from a greatsword. So yes: this category *is* quicker than greathammers if you manage to land more than two hits in a row, but at the cost of less unga per bunga unless you're facing plant-based foes or if you've put more priority int VIG & END than STR. They also require less stats in strength, so they're the better option if you want to spec into something like FTH or INT.
TL/DR: don't feel dumb for picking a greatsword over an unga-stick, provided you have.
