Zweihander is a Colossal Sword in Nightreign. Weapons in Nightreign are randomly acquired from Chests and from Field Boss drops, and will be different every run. All Weapons in Nightreign have a passive benefit that applies regardless of which hand or slot you put it in, as long as it is equipped, and you can equip up to 6 weapons at once.
Just about the largest sword a mere man is capable of swinging.
True to its name, it is designed to be wielded in both hands, but those of merely ordinary strength will still struggle to do so.
The long blade is heavy and sharp, sending foes reeling back with its broader strokes, while also capable of a devastating piercing thrust.
