Colossal Swords have always been a powerful option in and with the recent update to equipment in Patch 1.14, they have become even stronger. With their incredible range and surprising speed, Colossal Swords have found a place in the top of the meta once again, which hasn't been seen since the initial release of. With the 16 different Colossal Swords in the game, players have a variety of options to play around with in PVP.
Colossal Swords can take some getting used to, as their slow attacks can be tricky to land in PVP, especially with high latency. However, with the Hyper Armor that many of their attacks provide, players can feel safe trading against their opponent for good chunks of damage. In order to use them to the best of their ability, building around Colossal Swords can allow for some incredibly quick duels if one uses them properly.
Most Colossal Swords scale off of the Strength stat, granting it more value than Dexterity. However, there are some Colossal Swords that benefit from a high Dexterity stat as well, such as the Godslayer's Greatsword or a Keen Zweihander. In order to make the most of the Colossal Sword you have chosen, make sure you have split your stats in a way that most optimizes the weapon you are using. In most circumstances, however, Strength will be the main stat to prioritize.
