Great Épée is a Heavy Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring. The Great Épée scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for combat where thrusting will benefit the fighter. Its extra weight packs some extra physical attack power and still allows players to use this weapon with a shield. 

Elden Ring Great Épée Notes & Tips

• Weapon Skill: Impaling Thrust
• This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War.
• Great Épée can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones
• Pressing the dodge button while charging an R2 attack will change the R2 attack into a backwards feint. This backwards feint attack can combo directly into a running R1 attack.
• If leaning into a Strength Build, this is the optimal weapon in it's category, for other stat distributions the Godskin Stitcher leads to better results. Not factoring in the difference of the R2s, only stat scaling.
• Sell Value:   100 Runes.
• NOTE: As of Patch 1.08, the speed of  Heavy Thrusting Swords crouching attacks has been reduced. Also the stagger caused by double-handed Heavy Thrusting Swords jumping attacks has been reduced. And finally, Poise damage has also been reduced, but only for PVP.
• NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.
