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 almost any other weapon in the game (barring their blessed counterparts and giant spiked clubs), but require a heavy skill investment to use quickly or accurately.

History

Claymores were introduced in 0.14, replacing triple swords. This change initially involved a slight boost to their base damage, but was changed to simply be a rename.
