A massive sword, that requires two hands to even hold, and great strength and skill to use effectively. Needless to say, once a swordsman grows mighty enough to comfortably wield it, it is a weapon second to none.

Claymores are the ultimate long blade. They do more damage than any other weapon in the game (barring their blessed counterpart), but require a large amount of skill to use quickly or accurately.

History

Claymores were introduced in 0.14, replacing triple swords. In addition to bearing a more sensible name, they also had their stats adjusted slightly, making them very similar to pre-cleaving executioner's axes.
