Although [[Sword Weapon Family|swords]] have appeared since the very beginning, greatswords are differentiated from them by requiring the usage of both the wielder's hands, which prevents the use of a shield in the offhand. In order to compensate for the lack of defence provided by a shield, greatswords are typically more powerful than their one-handed cousins and even allow the wielder to parry enemy attacks.<br /> <br /> Due to their size and weight, greatswords are typically only usable by the most physically powerful characters, such as [[Gladiator]]s.<br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> ===''[[Dragon Quest X]]''===<br /> Greatswords can be equipped by [[Warrior]]s [[Gladiator]]s and [[Monster Master]]s.<br /> <br /> ===''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''===<br /> The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] and [[Hendrik]] can both use greatswords.<br /> <br /> List of greatswords:<br /> * Cobblestone greatsword<br /> * Copper chopper<br /> * [[Broad sword]]<br /> * Cast-iron claymore<br /> * Broader sword<br /> * Black blade<br /> * Carbon steel claymore<br /> * Banishing blade<br /> * Hendrik's greatsword<br /> * Razer-wing<br /> * Platinum powersword<br /> * Nightcleaver<br /> * Demonsbane<br /> * Wyrmfang<br /> * Lord's sword<br /> * Brimstone blade<br /> * Sword of shadows<br /> * Berserker's blade<br /> * Metal king gooreatsword<br /> <br /> ===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''===<br /> Greatswords are wielded exclusively by [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]].<br /> <br /> List of greatswords:<br /> * Bronze greatsword<br /> * [[Broad sword]]<br /> * [[Slime weapons|Gooreat sword]]<br /> * [[Sizeable scissors]]<br /> * Nightcleaver<br /> * Conqueror's sword<br /> * Wyrmfang<br /> * Lord's sword<br /> * Skysteed sword<br /> * Metal king greatsword<br /> <br /> ===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End]]''===<br /> [[Cesar]] has taken over duties as the main wielder of greatswords.<br /> <br /> {{DQWeapons}}<br /> [[category:Recurring elements]]<br /> [[Category: Weapon families]]</div>
