Bruiser

Hm, might consider dual axes.

Anti infanty guy could have power rng 1. A nordic variety of zweihand wielder

Does every faction need an area damage dealer?

Not necessarily. But would be good.

Right, but I can't find an ancient viking weapon similar to the zweihander and nodachi.
The two handed long axe is something worthy in my opinion.

Found nordic long sword cutting through several

Is this from a video game?

Well, swords were not common historically in the viking age, it was commonly used by high profile units such as viking warlords or jarls. But it could work. But still - I don't get how this will slash through multiple units.

Well how zweihand cleave through enemy.

how's this. The Legendary Blood Steal

I know little of zweihander but it can cleave through multiple enemies because of its design.

That sword you've shown is too short when compared to the nodachi and zweihander.

ydid you just compare an image size with a reference image. Well check the long daggers and normal swords with it. Well its pretty huge comparing them

And according to it, the fantasia glow is formed while electric current pass trough semiconductors. I am not sure this info is real, but if it is, its gonna be wow

Well we cant imagine its size without a reference image. And if the description say so al we have to do is believe and make a long sword in the art.

Ok, but are vikings really capable of wielding longswords? Theme-wise?
This is more like a celtic theme. Since the celts were good at smithing and had their own longswords.

If that information is real then it was either modified or made like that in high tech. I can't imagine swords in the past glowing runic alphabets.

Sure Vikings made sword which are pretty heavy, decent looking, tangible, and ideal for swift assaults.

Hm, it's ok then.
Suggest a unit name and stats.

There were no longswords nor greatswords in scandinavia or northern europe during the "Viking age"
