Once equipped, the Greatsword will provide +15 Physical Power and +25% Physical Damage to Wood. Noteworthy, you will need to have unlocked the Smithy (by beating Quincey the Bandit King) in order to craft the Greatsword in V Rising. The weapon is best for close-quarters combat and boasts a relatively wide melee hitbox and two unique abilities:

Great Cleaver: Charge forward and swing your great sword upward, dealing 150% physical damage in an area and launching enemies into the air for 0.75s. Cooldown: 8s. Cast Time: 0.4s.
Death from Above: Leap into the air and descend upon your enemy dealing 100% physical damage in an area. Cooldown: 8s.

Overall, the Greatsword in V Rising will be a great alternative to the classic melee weapons: Sword, Axe, Reaper, Sythe, or Mace, which can be interchanged situationally. Moreover, this weapon might be great for clearing large enemy mobs and dealing considerable damage, especially when paired with Warrior or Rogue Blood Types to benefit from boosted Physical Power and Critical Strike attacks, respectively.
