	Type: Colossal Sword Attack Type: Standard Skill: Stamp (Upward Cut) Weight: 15.5
Description
Just about the largest sword a mere man is capable of swinging. True to its name, it is designed to be wielded in both hands, but those of merely ordinary strength will still struggle to do so. The long blade is heavy and sharp, sending foes reeling back with its broader strokes, while also capable of a devastating piercing thrust.

How to Use Zweihander

Wide Arcing Combos

The Zweihander's light attacks sweep a wide area in front of the user, making it useful for staggering and clearing large packs of enemies.

Crouch or Roll for Fast Attack

Crouching or rolling and then immediately pressing the light attack button will perform a fast poke attack. This is a great option for getting hits in especially since like most Colossal Swords, the Zweihander has very slow attacks.
