The Carian Greatsword is a Carian sorcery in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find in Liurnia of the Lakes.
Carian Greatsword is one of the sorceries of the Carian royal family, said to grant sorcerers the strength of knights whose loyalty is sworn to the moon. It conjures a huge magic blade for a wide sweeping slash, and repeated inputs chain into a combo of alternating sweeps. The swing has a slight delay before it lands, but its wide arc covers groups well, can hit enemies through walls and breaks stance reliably for a caster. It flows naturally into Carian Piercer for a thrust after the slash, and the Carian Glintstone Staff raises its damage. Black Knife Assassins struggle against it because their side leaps cannot escape the arc, and it remains a staple for spellblades and pure casters who want a melee-range option.
Stats
The Carian Greatsword conjures a magic greatsword for a wide sweeping blow that can be cast repeatedly, and its broad arc handles groups of enemies well. It costs 12 FP, and the Carian Glintstone Staff boosts it by 15%, making it a staple of sword sorcery builds.
Effect
