The Ash of War: Carian Greatsword is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Magic affinity and the Carian Greatsword skill.
Carian Greatsword transforms the blade into a large magical greatsword and brings it down on the foe. Holding the button charges the swing once, making the magic blade grow in size, reach and power. The damage is pure magic that scales with Intelligence and the weapon's upgrade level rather than the weapon's own attack power. It suits Intelligence builds and spellblades who want a strong ranged-feeling melee option early in the game.
Stats
It grants the Magic affinity and a Whetblade can switch it to Standard, Heavy, Keen, Quality or Cold. The skill costs 16 FP and can be charged. It fits Dagger, Throwing Blade, Straight Sword, Light Greatsword, Greatsword, Thrusting Sword, Heavy Thrusting Sword, Curved Sword, Curved Greatsword, Katana, Great Katana and Twinblade.

Skill
Use the uncharged swing as a quick punish and save the charged version for staggered or slow enemies, since the charge takes a long time. The wide arc catches enemies that sidestep, such as Black Knife Assassins. Carian Grandeur casts faster and charges an extra level, so this skill is best as an early alternative or a cheaper FP option.
