Combat identity

Great Sword is one of Moonlighter 2's four main weapon families, built around heavier attacks and deliberate timing.

The cited description points to heavy attacks and deliberate timing. Use that as a starting identity, then judge the weapon by reach, recovery, and how safely it handles the rooms you are actually clearing.

Special mechanic

No separate special description was included in the source summary.

How to test it

  • Use a familiar encounter so enemy knowledge does not hide the weapon's strengths or weaknesses.
  • Start with the shortest safe attack sequence and add commitment only when the recovery stays reliable.
  • Change one major perk or armor choice at a time so the result remains understandable.
