Defender Greatsword is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
Greatsword wielded by the Throne Defender.
Unleash its true power to enwreath in magic.
The Defender has stood by the throne for ages.
Will his wait be worth the while?
Acquired From
- Weaponsmith Ornifex, traded for Throne Defender Soul and 3,000 souls.
Hints and Tips:
- Reinforced with Petrified Dragon Bone to +5.
- Pressing L2 while two-handing will cast a Sunlight Blade-style buff consuming 10 durability. The buff lasts 45 seconds and is not affected by the Lingering Dragoncrest Ring Or Northwarders set.
- This is an excellent sword for a Faith build. Infuse with lightning, and once fully upgraded, it can deal over 300 lightning damage at 50 Faith. That's not including the 200-300 physical damage.
- Its self buff follows the same formula as sunlight blade when enchanting an innate elemental weapon.

Parameter Bonus: Strength, Dexterity,Magic, Fire, Lightning and Dark bonuses - The scaling multiplier applied to the [Attack: stat]. Scaling quality is from highest to lowest as follows: S/A/B/C/D/E.
The higher the player's [Str, Dex, Mag, Fire, Light] stat, the higher the [Attack Bonus: Stat] is (found on the player status screen). The higher the scaling letter, the higher the percent multiplier applied to the [Attack: Stat].
This resulting bonus damage is added to the base physical damage of the weapon and is shown in the equipment screen in blue numbers as a "+ X".
Durability: The weapon's HP, when the durability hits 0, the effectiveness of its attacks become weakened to the point of almost uselessness. When an items durability is low, a message will come up saying "Weapon At Risk!" at this point the weapon does not perform at it's best.
Weight: How much the item weights when equipped.
Stability: How well the player keeps stance after being hit
Attack Type: Defines what kind of swing set the weapon has.

It’s a pretty good sword on a Faith build. Serves well lightning infused and the innate buff saves you one spell slot.
The moveset is alright, the single handed heavy attack is a thrust which comes in handy in narrow areas.
You’ll need a backup weapon or repair powder, though. This thing breaks quite fast especially if you use the buff.

I regret getting the shield instead. Almost there for the sword.

Is this stronger on a build where you have only like 20-30 faith and mostly Str and dex or will this be stronger with 50 faith and only 20str and 12dex?

Ive heard this used to has S scaling but then nerfed into oblivion

Shame that the self-buff only lasts 45 seconds, half as long as Sunlight Blade. That's gonna be a pain, especially in boss fights.

Cannot be buffed with Sunlight Blade, because it already has a special buff when pressing L2 while two-handed. Make sure you bring along repair powder.

Faith builds are sleeping on this weapon. This weapon gets superior scaling in lightning when infused. Most weapons scale at about 70% of their primary stat whereas this bad boy scales at around 100%. Combine with a built in sunlight blade and you're gonna be hitting for around 600-700
It breaks rather quickly. I'd recommend bringing some repair powder from Wellager
