Two-handed swords or 2h swords are powerful yet incredibly slow weapons. Their slow attack speed is made up for by the high damage they can deal in a single attack. The use of a rune 2h sword in player killing on free-to-play worlds as a finishing weapon is common.
Two-handed swords offer slash and crush attack styles in which they provide high bonuses in compensation for their slow speed. Players should choose the primary slash against most opponents, and the secondary crush against opponents wearing plate armour, such as platebody and platelegs.
Godswords have an attack speed of 4, compared to an attack speed of 3 on other two-handed swords. The Saradomin sword has an attack speed of 6, matching that of a sword or scimitar.
