Ultra Greatswords

Sharing the podium for heaviest weapon class with Great Hammers, Ultra Greatswords are massive weapons, more slabs of metal than elegant blades.

Ultra Greatswords are heavy and have high stat requirements (right up to the incredibly demanding 50 Str for the Fume), but in exchange they offer crushing hitting power, delivering hits hard enough to down weaker enemies in a single strike, and deal impressive damage even to bosses in a few hits.

They pay for this power with their huge weight requirements and sluggish handling, and between the weight and the stat requirements, most Ultra Greatswords remain unusable until later in a playthrough, when you have enough stat muscle to properly wield these beasts.

Appropriately, most Ultra Greatswords have the Stomp skill, though there are a few others mixed in as well. The Farron Greatsword is particularly notable for possessing an offhand light blade that can be used to Parry!
