The Greatsword category has tended to be one of the most powerful choices in all the Souls games, and Elden Ring is no exception. Since they normally boast exceptional range and huge damage output, most Greatswords are viable against every major boss, and devastatingly effectively in PvP as well. While they were typically solely paired with Strength-based builds in previous Souls games, there are a number of Greatswords that can be paired with magic-focused caster builds in Elden Ring.
