Curved Greatswords remained widely unpopular in the Elden Ring community for a long time. Not only did they weigh down players by a considerable amount, but their base attack rating also underperformed severely when compared to weapons in other classes. However, FromSoftware rolls out frequent patches to balance the game for the players, and patch 1.09 finally enhanced the speed, range, recovery time, and guard counter speed of Curved Greatswords.
