Zweihander Description & Stats
Description:Ultra greatsword with a large, long blade. Wielded with two hands, yet still requiring great strength due to its weight. Execute powerful attacks that take advantage of its weight or utilize its sharp blade in thrust attacks.
Skill: Stomp
It does 140 base physical damage, scales with both dexterity and strength, although poorly at first (both Ds). You’ll need 19 strength and 11 dexterity to wield it properly. It has been a fan favorite for years now, thanks to its long range and the ability to knock enemies down with the heavy attack.
