Greatsword combos. What do you like?

[FromChaosTheory]

Been playing greatsword and love it. Fellow greatsword users. What are you favorite combos to pull off when punishing bosses?

I recorded this the other day to show off this very powerful greatsword build using the Bishop set bonus (sound is kind of messed up but it still does the job lol). This was not on a boss but it still VERY powerful on bosses and stunlocks them like crazy if you cycle your skills properly.

I'm not using this build anymore as I have moved to greatsword fire build that uses the shooting star legendary (limit break: Apex), along with 3 pieces of the Fallen guardian set (helm, gloves and boots), 2 pieces of the Devourer of Darkness (chest and pants), and Stategists ring/amulet set.

you can chain stagger bosses (while your stamina lasts) by using the skill that gives you damage pulses on charge and then doing charged jump slash into fully charged heavy, repeat - if you time it right so the pulse is your connector hit for the combo. Or if you get them in a corner swap the jump slash for a charged quick slash. if you have the opening, the one that also buffs charges can combo with this for even more damage (and you can literally combo the buffs together into your combo because there'll be constant damage pulses that link). On top of that, add apex slash from the fleshripper set and you'll be hitting HUGE damage numbers and staggering things constantly. Technically you can chain heavy into heavy but the timing is weird to get them to combo so i like to buffer with the charged quick or jump slashes that makes the follow up heavy slash charge faster (also heavy slash pushes back a little so you can push things out of your range if you don't jump slash to get close again). Did my first run with spear and my ng+ one with gs, and had waaaay more fun with gs. not sure how i feel about dual wield on ng++ yet but i think i liked gs better

Have phantom night veil up, charged light > charged mortal blow > charged titanic descent. Repeat until out of stamina or boss breaks out of stunlock. I use 4 piece crimson fiend with the GS so I have mortal blow murderous which is absurd and makes charged mortal blow instant and with the 4 piece bonus it restores 100 stamina each mortal blow so you can chain bosses for like 20 seconds without even using spirit. On NG+ some bosses lose legit 70% of their max hp in one opening. I also use 3 piece bonus from defector that gives 0.3 spirit on charged attack.

Thanks for sharing peeps! Anyone else got some cool combos they like?

Brink Guard -> Armor Breaker -> Heart Piercer -> Furious Swipe: Pursuit -> Combat Candence -> Savage Momentum -> Mortal Blow ("Bloodshed" variant if I have stamina for it).

Furious Swipe: Pursuit can also be chained into Helm Break and immediately into Mortal Blow, in case you need to preserve stamina a little.

This is a really basic-ass combo and doesn't do crazy amounts of damage, but I just got past Rangkus and so far it serves me well.
