Fextralife lists 42 great swords and names Radiant Radobaan Slab IV at 759 physical attack. This is one community database’s equipment reading; raw display values across different weapon types do not establish damage rankings.

Who uses it

Official profiles put Pyro and Luxheart on the great sword. Freya is also described with it on community pages, and she is missing from the official roster. Launch-week ranks place the great sword in A, not S.

Charge timing and character differences

Game8’s launch review describes a dodge leading into a charged great-sword strike and compares that sequence with Adept-style play. This is a single review’s description, not a frame-data chart. Use it to understand why a safe opening matters before committing to a charge.

Pyro and Luxheart carry the same weapon type but have different official character mechanics. Pyro turns endured attacks into burst damage; Luxheart accumulates Heat and changes attack stance. Their shared great sword does not make their resource management identical.

For a first equipment comparison, keep the weapon class and upgrade level consistent and note element, affinity, sharpness and source date. The wiki’s 759 figure is not a combo multiplier. Neither a stronger display number nor a tier-letter alone supplies a measured hunt result.

Evidence scope

The equipment counts, attack values, skill levels and material details attributed to Fextralife on this page have one upstream community source. They are unverified beyond that source, even when another page repeats them. Missing combat multipliers, drop rates and performance measurements stay unspecified.

Questions

Is the great sword the best?

Not on the launch-week board. That board’s S row is long sword, heavy bowgun, and charge blade.
