Claymore

The Claymore is a massive sword that rests easily in a righteous warrior's hands. It deals 25 hit damage with a 60 full combo across 3 swings and 3 hits, backed by 45 stagger, 3.9 blocks of reach, and 750 knockback. It is a heavy Fighter + Tank archetype weapon, and its combo resets after 1.15 seconds.

It drops in Frozen Highlands, Rainy Plains, and Lullaby Hills. In the first game it had unique variants — the Broadsword, Heartstealer, and Great Axeblade — though returning names may be redesigned in the sequel.

It holds an A-tier melee ranking: 363 DPS with a two-hit jump cancel plus Lightning Surge. With 3.9 blocks of reach and a 60 full combo, each landed swing covers a wide, punishing arc. The catch is that plain attacks are weak at 191 DPS, and the cancel is hard to execute, so the Claymore rewards practiced hands. It suits frontline builds that commit to mastering its jump-cancel rhythm, and investing through Minecraft Dungeons II Enchanting Guide helps close the gap on its weaker basic swings.
