Best Enshrouded Two-handed Greatswords
High-DPS sweepers. The Barbarian / Whirlwind Crescendo loadout lives here; trades shield uptime for raw burst.
Why pick two-handed greatswords in Enshrouded?
Two-handed greatswords are the highest single-target melee DPS in Enshrouded — slow attack speed, heavy stamina cost, but the biggest damage rolls in slot. They scale with STR (Strength), live in the Warrior + Barbarian sub-archetypes, and define the Berserker Barbarian preset. The greatsword's wedge is Whirlwind Crescendo + jump attacks — sustained-DPS rotations against single targets, AOE clear against add waves. Stamina-heavy by design, so Survivor's Stamina Cap line is mandatory; without it you'll run out of swings mid-fight. As a slot priority 2H greatswords are A-tier — top damage when paired with Tank cross-tree mitigation for solo viability, top-class cleanup in co-op when your tank holds aggro. Legendary 2H greatswords carry perks like "Two-handed Specialisation" + "Heavy Hitter" that compound the base damage advantage.
