How Greatsword actually plays
The player-maintained reference describes a chargeable tornado special that becomes a broad attack at maximum charge. It also describes strong reach and one-hit power, but large attack gaps and no defensive action.
These are base-weapon actions in the linked community reference. An upgrade can replace them, and custom input bindings can change the buttons.
A first Greatsword practice loop
In Training Grounds, begin with short charges, release, and move away before trying a maximum charge. Learn the point where the weapon has committed and the point where repositioning becomes possible again.
- Use a short charge first to learn the release timing.
- Check whether reach lets you avoid standing on top of the target.
- Practise the movement that follows a committed release.
Turn a clear test into a live-run choice
Build around the problem that appears in practice, such as surviving a committed action or using the weapon's reach. Keep board space flexible when the live run offers different pieces.
What this page will not claim
A large hit does not prove that every charge is safe, that the weapon has a guard, or that one result decides an encounter. Use the current move text and recovery timing.
