Ny way I can swing the ultra greatsword faster

dark-souls-2

I have an ultra greatsword named Greatsword. I have enough stamina to do few swings, but it takes too much time to swing the sword or to recover from the swing animation, leaving me vulnerable to attacks.

Is there any way to increase the swing speed/recover ratio for ultra greatswords?

No, there is no way to increase swing speed. It was thought that raising Adaptability increased swing speed but this theory has been thoroughly dis-proven.

NOTE: expending your Stamina through attacking actually puts it into a negative value, increasing the recovery time.

A few tips to help you with your stamina management:

  • The lower your equip % the faster your stamina recovers
  • Try raising your Endurance to get more stamina to begin with
  • Eating Green Grass will increase your stamina regen along with the Cloranthy Ring but they do not stack
  • The Cloranthy Ring does however stack with this shield

It is also possible to change your attack direction mid-swing with greatswords/ultra-greatsword with the Left-stick
