Darksteel Greatsword

==Description==
The Darksteel Greatsword is a midgame Greatsword used by The Ignition Union and Blacksteel Pirates. It has 26 base damage and requires a minimum of 10 Strength and 40 Heavy Weapon to equip. This weapon is also Alloyable, turning it into an endgame weapon by increasing its stats and giving it a glazed purple texture. It's commonly found in chests from The Depths, The Duke, Chaser, Scholar of the Crimson Contract, Primadon, and Miner's Landing, and is often rewarded from bounty chests and the Blacksmith when given pure ore. It also drops from Blacksteel Pirates and chests in the overworld at Summer Isle and around Aratel Island (Starswept Valley, Bluster Rift, and Greathive Aratel), though it drops much less often from these areas. Now, the quickest and easiest way to acquire this weapon without relying on chance is to buy it at Miner's Landing for only 200 notes. You can find it resting against a wall near the entrance of the Saramaed Summit. 
==Critical==
DSCritical.gif
After a short windup, the user performs an upward slash, knocking back those successfully hit. This upward slash applies hyperarmor to the user for the full duration of the critical. This attack has "True-Hyperarmor", meaning that it cannot be cancelled, even if you get hit by attacks that apply the Shocked status effect. Due to having Hyperarmor from frame 1, it may be used as a pseudo vent. (Wind-up and Emperor Flame do not work on critical hits.)

==Trivia== 
*This weapon is greatly inspired by Dark Souls III; it closely resembles the Darksword, and its critical attack is most likely inspired by that of the Black Knight Greatsword and the Darksword's stomp ability.
*Just like Enforcer's Axe, the Darksteel Greatsword critical attack gives a full hyperarmor in the duration of the critical attack. This means that you can use the critical attack to escape combos.
*One of the most popular and iconic weapons, even added in the Roblox game Allusions (though only the older version where the critical would have been the normal Greatsword critical).
*Often referred to as "DSGS" by the community.
*Meeting the non-alloyed requirement of HVY, the damage is (31.5)
**Meeting the alloyed requirement, the damage is (37.7)
*At max HVY, the non-alloyed damage is (39.7)
**At max HVY, the alloyed damage is (41.6)
