Greatswords

Greatswords are the signature heavy weapon of the Withered Knight, alongside Polearm & Shield. Built around sweeping strikes, long reach, and decisive close-range punishment, a Greatsword turns positioning into pressure: each clean swing controls space in front of the Knight and punishes careless approaches. The trade-off is commitment — Greatsword swings are slower, so the Knight has to time them well, a weakness that launch-era tier lists kept pointing at before the pre-launch buffs.
