A Strength focused Build that uses the Greatsword to pound enemies into the dirt using Charge Attacks.
Much like the Barbarian Build we take advantage of War Cry's change to R2 attacks, allowing you to deal devastating damage. Not only is this increased via War Cry, but also through both the Axe Talisman and Roar Medallion. Both of these Talismans buff your R2, allowing you to deal substantial damage.
Learning when to use War Cry and how to use it is important because you don't have a ton of FP and you don't want to waste it needlessly. But be sure when using it to lead enemies with R2, and attack with it before they do so that you stagger them and they cannot get an attack off.
If you can chain two R2s together you will send enemies flying into the air, giving you a great opportunity to retreat and regenerate Stamina using the Green Turtle Talisman, and then return for more.
