Alright, look. I know everyone is going crazy for the Hand-to-Hand martial arts weapon in the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and I can't really blame you: Kung Fu Souls is a pretty awesome idea, and in the testing I've done, it's actually pretty darn effective, too. However, as a certified Sword Enjoyer™, it would be irresponsible of me not to direct your attention to what I think is the expansion's coolest new weapon type: Light Greatswords.
These lovely weapons combine the power of a Greatsword, the speed of a Straight Sword, and the range of a Thrusting Sword into a single slender blade, complete with a flowing, stylish moveset that'll make you feel like the coolest duelist to ever walk the Lands Between. And luckily, there's a fantastic one you can get within minutes of taking your first steps into the Land of Shadow.
