There are rumors circulating that Greatsword mains share 1 braincell. They're right.

This is the opening you'll be doing 90% of the time in multiplayer or solo, exceptions being heroics runs and TA wiki runs. Don't need to state it but i'll say it anyway, it only works with rocksteady on. Most common issue is missing because of lightning rain, and this is a short guide on how to deal with it. There's a lot more scenarios regarding Alatreon openings not covered, but they're not that important unless you're curious why you sometimes miss on a charge opening or are doing 100+ Alatreon runs a week lmao.

There's a way to hit the double lightning move with a higher consistency, (The way to do it is to immediately do the wallbang right as Alatreon does like the first frame of the next move, either charge or lightning rain. This is because for lightning rain, there's a split second where Alatreon moves it's head to the right and slightly forward, so if you wb Alatreon at that exact moment,it should hit)but it's not a guarantee and it also lowers the chances of the 2nd dash opening depending on Alatreon's starting position, so it's better to just delay the wall bang by a second . The downside is that in multiplayer, Alatreon could target someone and it'll go flying in a different direction, so my advice is to have the person who does the tenderize attack to immediately position themselves in front of the rock that we wallbang Alatreon on, since Alatreon will most likely target the person that deals the most damage, at the start at least. Even still, it could fail but at that point, the gods themselves just don't want you to hit the wallbang lmao.

Alatreon getting smacked out of the air is always cool.

My goal for Alatreon is to get a sub 3'30 for both Dawn of the Death star and Evening star, and this run is the closest to that goal. I see a few tiny errors i made in the run, and if i played better it would have been the Dawn of the Death star sub 3'30. Either way, this has been my best run in terms of skill expression and time.

Fatalis blinked.

Not this time Fatalis. Although it would've been funny if i carted here again.

I did not, in fact, win.

My SnS partner just got back to world, so i'm helping them re-familiarize the fight. It's the average P1 for Greatsword, at least the one i'm familiar with. Forgot to equip dung pods at one point, that was funny. Not really a speedrun, more so a casual for fun hunt.

Alatreon had a headache in the middle of its aerial charge.

Last clip is my best clip in my opinion, if you ignore my cinematic misses. And who said LS and GS can't synch up for a cool clip. Last vid for Greatsword recruitment, for now. Back to posting my speedruns and misses once every week or so.

What peak greatsword form looks like.

Wanted to post my full vid here, but it's more than 1 gb (15+minutes of footage) so i'll just be splitting them in parts. Just a compilation of my Greatsword gameplay in the past 3 months after i returned to the game after a 1 year hiatus.

Predictive TCS and TCS gambling adds so much more to Greatsword depth and gameplay that makes the weapon really fun even after more than 8000+ uses. Still learning cool new tricks with Greatsword to this day. That and learning new ways on how to miss with style.

I have the invisible mantles mod on, since i dislike how ugly mantles look, so you might have to look at the top left corner to check if i have a mantle on or not.
