Overview

The Greatsword has the largest range out of all the swords in the game with 7 studs. It deals 60% more damage each swing at the cost of a -100% swing speed penalty and a -20% speed penalty while held. Its Special Attack is the Great Spin, which deals heavy knockback and 50 damage to any enemy caught in its area.

Tips

While the Greatsword is an incredible tool in terms of pure damage, it considerably decreases your mobility. The decreased movement speed makes you a much easier target for ranged attacks, so exercise caution when holding it. Its Special Attack can remove some of the bad mobility though, as it can be utilized to gain momentum or to move while attacking.

The Greatsword is useful for crowd control due to its large range, and combined with its equally large damage, it's a great option in Infection Mode.

It can also be used to save yourself from falling since the Great Spin gives a decent air boost.

Trivia

• The walkspeed nerf can be negated by equipping the sword when swinging, then quickly unequipping after it. This helps quite a lot when you do sword jumps.
• Just like Flame Cutter, Ice Cutter, Mega Smack, and Home Run, the Special Attack Great Spin gives a small upward boost, but it also give a bit mobility if your walking or going forward.
• Though not stated as a nerf its special has a longer reload time, and it doesn’t have a strike attack.
• It used to do 60 damage on a great spin.

The Greatsword has 4 other reskins:
