Greatsword Weapon (elaborated)

I'm here to suggest new mechanics for a brand new weapon being the greatsword being in the game, so it can be used against mobs and players in a fun way.

Crafting

Crafted the same way as a sword but placed diagonally in the crafting table.

Its a tiered weapon, its an early game alternative option to the sword, axe & spear.

Combat

I looked up its use and it turns out, way back, the weapon was used to sweep a great area to hit as many targets as possible and to maintain a certain distance with threats. In terms of damage an axe was more effective than a greatsword but it still dealt more than a regular sword.

It should deal more damage than a sword but less than an axe, it would have further reach but less than a spear. It would have a wide sweeping zone taking on many targets at the same time & dealing extra knockback.

Special ability

It should be a two handed weapon that can't be paired with a shield BUT can block a big part of inflicted damage

Exclusive enchantment

Its exclusive enchantment would be "Shockwave". When jump criting a mob would send a moon shaped shockwave 3 blocks forward. It would inflict half of the weapon's damage and would increase by 0.5 damage per level (it has 3 levels).

Note

The sword's enchantments will be compatible with the greatsword.
