Big Swords

The Big Sword is one of the weapon types in the game Moonlighter.

it is a high damage weapon with wide swings and an AoE special attack. It also reaches nearly as far as the spear, and nearly as wide as the Sword and Shield. The trade off is that it's also the slowest weapon to swing in the game and also confers a speed penalty when equipped. With wide swings and a lot of power, it's the best weapon at killing and keeping a large number of enemies at bay.

Will cannot move during his special charge, but it charges fairly quickly.

As for pairing, with the weapon swap trick the Swords and Shields and the Gloves make excellent combo weapons to allow the third hit of the Big Sword to come out faster. The Bows also helps deal with faster enemies at range. Due to having roughly the same reach as the Spears, that makes a poor pairing.

Normal Attack:
 * Hit 1: A wide slash that arcs in front of Will.
 * Hit 2: A wider slash then Hit 1 coming from the opposite direction.
 * Finisher: A wide slash going the same direction as Hit 1. This hit moves Will nearly twice as far as the other hits.

Special Attack:

After a brief charge, Will swings the sword around himself in a full circle. This move hits for double damage and can hit twice per charge. Will has invincibility while swinging. He will not take any damage, and will not trigger breakable floors if pushed onto them.
