Best Enshrouded Greatsword Builds
Greatsword builds in Enshrouded are the highest single-target melee DPS — Heavy Hitter, Two-Handed Specialization, Whirlwind Crescendo. Rage-stack mechanics from the Barbarian sub-tree turn sustained fights into burst windows; jump attacks open AOE clears. Stamina-heavy by design, so Survivor's Stamina Cap line is mandatory. Solo greatsword + Barbarian is viable but falls off in late game without Tank cross-tree mitigation. In co-op, the greatsword is the cleanup specialist — your tank holds aggro, you whirl through the adds. Our Berserker Barbarian preset is the canonical setup.
