Gatewalkers Weaponry #5 GreatSword

Dear Gatewalkers!

Today, we will discuss one of the RPG classics - the Greatsword. Greatswords seem like an easy weapon to use, but only a few Gatewalkers have been able to master it, resulting in the use of the forgotten art of sword fighting based on focus.

In other words, this technique consists of gaining focus points by hitting opponents with the sword. Obtaining an appropriate number of points strengthens the attacks with additional power (fully focused stance).

Gatewalkers trained in this art never lose focus during a fight (adrenaline). Only after the end of the skirmish, during relaxation, do the points slowly drop to zero (1 point per 5 seconds).

Let us show you what skills you will get if you choose a Greatsword during your expeditions:

Greatsword Swing - a powerful two-handed blow that deals cone-shaped damage in front of you. This ability charges the focus points on the hit and deals additional damage in a fully focused stance.
Shielding Swing - is a mighty Greatsword strike, which, apart from long range, also makes you take a defensive stance. This stance strengthens your defense by adding a temporary shield. This ability charges the focus points on the hit and deals additional damage in a fully focused stance.
Focus Implosion - you hit the ground with a Greatsword, consuming the aggregate energy of focus. As a result, it creates a powerful area of effect (AOE) that deals damage and stuns enemies. If the focus was fully charged, it makes the AOE hit performed three times. This significantly increases the AOE damage and extends the time of the stun. This skill also consumes all focus points on use.
Piercing charge - the player stands in a charging pose and then runs straight ahead. It is a dash that passes through enemies and deals damage to everyone along the way. Useful for smashing the enemy, as well as to dodging quickly. It charges focus points on hits and deals additional damage in a fully focused stance.
