Light Greatswords | Elden Ring Wiki

It can make good use of the twinblade talisman if you're using it one handed, R2 -> R1 -> R1 is a very fast combo finisher

Rellana's Twin Blades finishes even faster with R2 -> R1

Submit

Actually better than i first thought with multihit boosts. heavy attacks proc the effect with only 2 hits and light with only 3

Submit

This weapon class has a unique ability to chain light attacks into the 2ND heavy attack combo

1h -> Light, Light, Light, Heavy
2h -> Light, Light, Heavy

Probably not very useful in PvE, but could be used as a mix-up in PvP

Submit

I'd love to see a Ludwig's Holy Blade inspired Light Greatsword in either mods or future Fromsoft games.

Submit

Do we know the Crit multiplier ?

Submit

So disappointed there's only 3. This weapon is like a drug that I want to keep overdosing on

Submit

Ledas sword might as well not exist given how far into dlc it is, and Rellanas twin blades are dual wield, so if you want to 2h Milady is only real choice.

Submit

Really? just the 3? And of course there's only boss/cool options for 2 ****ing builds. Where'd the love for EVERYTHING go i feel like now holy and magic (magic since basegame) are just getting that major hawk tooah while everyone else suffers

Submit

I dont love the R1s on theese, they feel like a thrusting sword. Rest of the moveset is quite cool though, but they need some serious buffs to poisedamage in PvP

Submit

Sexy asf, needs a buff to stagger and poise damage tho. And maybe a slight damage buff.

Submit

The DLC is great but the lack of new weapons sucks and yes I know most of the new weapons are added in the old classes.

Submit

I’ve Heard Rumor that There was a Strength/ Quality LGS that was Cut. Wonder how that Would Look.

Submit

the moveset is really nice against dogs. theyre not even annoying anymore.

Submit

A lot of speed, decent damage, I'd say great range and long strings of hits but no poise damage at all? Didn't stagger any bosses or even normal mobs with those

Submit

A little bit dissapointed there's only three of these. Milady one would look better with a crossguard on it. Weirdly enough, that one works better paired with a shield and not two-handing them. Guard counters are great, fast and look beautiful, they can be followed up with and R1 for a third slash. Feels like a bloodborne weapon.

Submit

don't bother using these in pvp.

Submit

don't bother using these in pvp...

Submit

fromsoft knows how to pamper dex noobs...

Submit

A bit dissapointed they share their power stanced moveset with longswords.

Submit

Wow. All three suck. Hmm. Okay. Wasted potential. Sighh....

Submit

Also known as True Greatswords. I mean think about it would real life Greatswords be as heavy and difficult to handle, as the ones we got before Shadows of the Erdtree dropped?

Submit

Need more weapons

Submit

Missed Opportunity to be Able to Put Square off on these Swords.

Submit

So... These are great. I've found two out of the three light Greatsword's so far since I haven't gotten terribly far into the dlc, but I ADORE the moveset. It's almost fighting game-like, especially the r2/r1. It's so elegant and speedy, but packs a whallop at the same time, they're so so fun. Use these! Please!

Submit

now you can make an Alucard build :D

Submit

Also known as Elegant Greatswords

Submit

There’s Great Katanas, Back Hand Blades, and these and They’re all Dex
Strength Has NO Love. :(

Submit

I love how elegant the moveset is, it makes it feel like you're floating. Also, combos are amazing.

Submit

I watched a demonstration of all the DLC weapons' playstyles and I love the way the light great sword attacks, the twirly character animations. it's so cute

Submit

only 1 infusible light greatsword. bruh.

Submit

Are rellanas twin blades not just twinned blades?

Submit

The "light greatsword", also known as "a sword"

Submit

The Stagger is low like a Katana. No Bleed, more White Damage but no Nagakiba Range. The heavy AoW can be very powerful with Rellana Talisman and reach 2K DMG easy with Shard of Alexander. The Light AoW 3Hit Combo can be Suicide against Knights/Shields who Guard Counter Smash you when locked in a 3Hit combo chain.
The first attack from the combo can easy miss because enemies can use longer range weapons and you cant connect the first hit. The AoW is more specials than the Weapon itself.

Submit

Why do they stagger as if they are a dagger? Even curved swords can stun better than them lol. Still very fun to use though.

Submit

Wow only 3, so much for new weapon type. Was expecting 7-8.

Submit

*tips hat* milady

Submit

This **** so beautiful it got me tearing up fr

Submit

Can these be powerstanced? Two miladys?

Submit

A Greatsword the character doesn't slam into the ground like a child? About time Mikelzaki.

Submit

Honestly, new most GOATed weapon type in the game. I have a feeling we'll be seeing way more light greatswords in future FromSoft games...

Submit

So this is a halfway point between longswords and greatswords? Interesting.

Submit

are we 100% sure theres only three of them? Really? I expected at least five, shame.

Submit

it would be great if there are more smiting stone type of Light greatsword

Submit

Leda's sword feels good to use and it looks great but it's ability it holy so idk if it's that viable

Submit

Have a feeling these are gonna be horrible to fight against in pvp but damn do they look way too cool to complain

Submit

are there only three of them?

Submit

I like the girly stance.

Submit

milady is going to be the bloodhound fang of the dlc, all the normie streamers and "casual" (tourist) gamers are gonna plow through the whole dlc with it and not explore a damn thing

Submit

Submit

having Loyce Greatsword's vibes.....

Submit

finally greatsword without animations that looks like a caveman discovering a club in a cavern

Submit

I'm guessing they will feel similar to twinblades; similar damage and speed with multi-hits. I'm just hoping hit-stop doesn't feel as bad with these.

Submit

Greatsword length but fast attacks... So Shamshir?

Submit

I wonder who drops Milady. Or is it going to be found in a chest, in the middle of a lava lake, underneath a poison swamp, guarded by Godrick's Knight.

Submit

Can’t wait to see what these new weapons are going to be

Submit

How exactly is this a dex weapon when +25 keen infused gets B scaling in DEX? This is clearly a quality weapon

Submit

Ahh yes the NPC indentifier weapon. Anyone that will use this is an NPC

Submit

Can we please fix the 2 handed stance for the straightswords that carried over to light greatswords already? Dude holds a sword like hes carrying a branch.

Submit

12 Str 17 Dex requierement. Looks like a Dex weapon.

Submit

a fancy words for Bastard Sword

Submit

Waiting for Moon Light Greatsword

Submit

Kind of annoys me that some dudes have been claiming your character uses these like actual swords. The moveset is just fancy, not realistic. You can immediately see that the R1 chain includes a spin where your character turns their back towards the opponent. You'd never do this in real combat because it'd be suicide. Funnily enough, Wolf also does this in Sekiro. Fromsoft doesn't know how swords were used and they don't care either.

Submit

DS2 Loyce Greatsword fans about to EAT with this weapon class

Submit

These might be what Katanas are for Curved swords since Katanas have always had one of the more realistic move sets in Souls and feel heavier than a Curved Sword Yet lighter than a Curved-Greatsword!

Yey or ney

Submit

Will the Bastard Sword be reclassified?

Submit

These should look similar to heavy thrusting swords in terms of length and 'blade' thickness but they swing and have edges; their model size and hitbox would be very close. From a distance if 2 handed I would imagine it would be hard to tell them apart. Their weight range would be the same so maybe 6.5 units of weight to 9.5 units?

Submit

I love how the moveset looks similar to how you'd actually swing a greatsword, and not just slamming it down on the ground each swing

Submit

How many do u guys think there will be? bc three is a placeholder

Submit

So from what we've seen in the gameplay footage, this has the reach of greatswords, but are far faster, though not as fast as straight swords. They will presumably do damage in between the two and have a unique stanced Ash of War, which allows you to either do a strong piercing lunge, or a fast 3 hit chain. But the best thing about these weapons is the moveset. It is beautiful. A perfectly flowing attack chain, mixing piercing attacks and wide slashes at a perfect speed. The guard counter is a two hit combo and you can seemingly combo attacks from almost any angle. I'm seriously looking forward to these, definitely check them out on June 21

Submit

I am dying to see the powerstance moveset on these

Submit

This is the one I'm most excited for, since I main greatswords but always thought they were a bit slow. I just hope they do more damage than straight swords, I'm going to need more than just a bit of extra reach.

Submit

So these will have the basic greatsword moveset but faster?

Submit

"They are going to be dex weapons!" "No they are going to be quality!" The game has been out for more than 2 years and this discussion is still alive as if some people still haven't figured out that infusions are way more important than base stats. Base scaling barely matters when you infuse a weapon. And if you are running standard infusion please for the love of god put something better on your weapon.

Submit

Light Greatsword also known as Longsword

Submit

Don't worry, even if they initially scale with dex, they'll still be better on strength builds due to broken infusion system and 2H bonus.

Submit

Do you like the basic swords in lies of P !? well now you can with the light great swords Everyone can unanimously agree that these could (and should) be called dueling swords but this fast weapon with a multi hit move set lets everyone wonder, how many hits will dual wielding do!?

Submit

eww

Submit

So dex greatswords.

Submit

Miyazaki I know youre reading this. Add a weapon called the "Moreclay" and give it the claymore thrusting attacks and the new light greatsword movement and my life is yours

Submit

This sounds like dream come true, I like large swords but normal greatswords are basically bladed sledge hammers in terms of moveset in From's games

Submit

Maybe an actual bastard sword-like class, very nice

Submit

When do we get Light Sabres?

Submit

Any word on whether they are dex or strength-based yet? I don't want to start a war, I'm fine with either and just want to know how to set up my character eventually.

Submit

anyone knows if these are gonna be based more on STR or DEX? or possibly Quality?

Submit

Please let us use square off aow on this

Submit

The move set on these weapons is like if you got to play as Malenia I mean the fluidity looks unlike any other souls game, I can't thank John Elden ring and Hidetaka Miyazaki for allowing us to move freely through enemies while we remove them from the land of shadows.

Submit

Please let at least one of these have a crossguard so we can finally have a proper longsword. Really hope the lack of it on the milady is the exception and not the rule for this weapon class.

Submit

By the name, I really thought these were going to be greatswords infused with some kind of holy light damn

Submit

I was about to use martial arts as my go to weapons in the dlc, but this... This sh*t completely changed my mind

Submit

A greatsword that actually has reasonable recovery times and is a fast attacking weapon that doesn't immediately bounce off armor?

F&CK YES!

Submit

If some of the old Greatswords aren't changed to this class, it'll be a crime. Bastard Sword should absolutely be in here and get an updated moveset.

Submit

so all the new weapons are dlc only right? they're not going to throw one into the base game so you can use them out if you make a new char? kinda sad if so

Submit

what a sexy moveset oh my god, it makes me act up

Submit

This weapon class is going to be sexy

Submit

next dlc can we also have slightly-heavier-but-not-as-heavy-as-colossal-swords greatswords? thanks in advance miyazaki

Submit

Posting this Pre-DLC, these look like they will be the most popular weapon class from now on

Submit

wooo first
