At the same time, Ultra Greatswords are extremely effective. They hit really hard and can send enemies flying. They stagger enemies like nothing else and are highly efficient against bosses.
Disadvantages to using Colossal Swords
- They’re big and slow
- The recovery time after swinging your sword leaves you open for hits
