Greatsword Companion Build

Build identity

The cited player groups Greatsword with amethyst and companion support. That is a useful draft direction when the run offers those systems together, but the source does not provide a complete item list or controlled comparison.

How to pilot the research route

Treat Greatsword as the anchor, then prefer choices that visibly strengthen the amethyst or companion package already present. Do not dilute the run merely to match the label if the required pieces do not appear.

• Anchor: Greatsword
• Scaling direction: amethyst
• Support direction: companions

Fallbacks

If companion support arrives without amethyst scaling, keep only the companions that add safe damage while you continue building a conventional Greatsword engine. If neither half appears early, pivot to the Spin or Short Self-Reproach route instead of forcing an underspecified package.

Limits

Exact breakpoints, mandatory artifacts and hard-mode performance remain unverified. This page records a community route to test, not a solved build.
