'''Greatswords''' | {{translation|'''Greatswords'''|両手剣|, Ryōteken}} are a recurring type of weapon in the {{DQSeries}}, being first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest X]]''. Although [[Sword Weapon Family|swords]] have appeared since the very beginning, greatswords are differentiated from them by requiring the usage of both the wielder's hands, which prevents the use of a shield in the offhand. In order to compensate for the lack of defence provided by a shield, greatswords are typically more powerful than their one-handed cousins and even allow the wielder to parry enemy attacks. | ||
Due to their size and weight, greatswords are typically only usable by the most physically powerful characters, such as [[Gladiator]]s. | Due to their size and weight, greatswords are typically only usable by the most physically powerful characters, such as [[Gladiator]]s. | ||
