Summit Greatsword is the best greatsword for backstab damage. It is a legendary two-handed greatsword. It deals cutting damage. At level 50, a legendary copy hits for 220 base damage. It attacks every 0.77 seconds, which comes to about 286 damage per second. It always has one gem slot for a gem. Its upgrades unlock extra ice damage, backstab damage and extra cutting damage. The Blacksmith upgrades it.

Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. Two-handed weapons deal one and a half times as much as one-handed ones. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1	15	16	19	24	26
10	35	39	44	56	62
20	58	64	72	92	102
30	80	88	100	128	141
40	103	113	128	164	181
50	125	138	157	200	220

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Blacksmith raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. This weapon takes up to five upgrades. Every upgrade of one copy costs the same number of Runes. On a legendary copy, the fourth and fifth upgrades also take Legendary Runes. The costs are for a level 50 copy. Other copies cost more or less by level, as the second table shows.

Upgrade	Unlocks At	Enhancement	Effect	Runes	Legendary Runes	NPC
1	Level +1	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	-	Blacksmith
2	Level +2	Backstab Damage	+20% Backstab Damage	850	-	Blacksmith

5	Level +5	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	106	Blacksmith
Total	-	-	-	4,250	212	Blacksmith

The rune cost depends only on the copy's level. This table shows the price of one upgrade and of every upgrade the copy can take, level by level.

Level	Upgrades	Runes per Upgrade	Total Runes	Total Legendary Runes

How to Get Summit Greatsword Guide

The Summit Greatsword comes from the Hollow Halls. It drops from the warrior weapon chests there, the gold and silver sarcophagi that hold melee weapons. Copies from those chests roll at common to rare rarity. Its description says such swords were common among the soldiers of the Albaneve Summits during their lord's push to expand. It always has a gem slot. Its perks add ice damage, backstab damage and merciless attack damage, and the Blacksmith upgrades it.
