While Gran Faust's speed bar is much longer than [[Divine Avenger]]'s, there is no significant speed difference. [[Lancer Knightz (Guild)/Swords|Data]] collected by players suggests that the Gran Faust's combo speed may be slightly slower than Divine Avenger.

=== Charge Attack ===
The knight takes a small step back and takes a powerfully damaging swipe with the sword. The Gran Faust then emits a large sword-shaped energy beam which primes for a moment before flying forwards a fair distance before detonating. This beam travels through monsters and over gaps. Contact with the beam deals damage in addition to the detonation, although significantly less than the initial hit. The attack may inflict [[Curse]] for 40 seconds (without Curse resistances) on both the user and target.

While it is usually said that the Gran Faust speed bar is wrong, they are actually both wrong, and the actual speed of both is somewhere in between. For comparison, the Gran Faust bar is identical to the Leviathan Blade, while the Divine Avenger bar is the same as the Sudaruska bar. Both these swords are faster than the Sudaruska, and slower than the Leviathan Blade, which means that both bars are wrong.

This beam travels through monsters and over gaps. The sword swing, beam and detonation all deal damage. The charge time compared to the Faust is significantly longer.

Notes

Gran Faust's speed bar is equal in length to Leviathan Blade's, while Divine Avenger's speed bar is equal in length to Troika's. In reality, Troika combos more slowly than Gran Faust and Divine Avenger do, and those swords combo more slowly than Leviathan Blade does. Furthermore, Gran Faust charges more slowly than does Divine Avenger. (See data.)

"Gran Faust" and "Faust" are named after the German Faust folktale, in which a man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge. The visual glow around this blade is similar to the Excalibur in Sonic and the Black Knight.

Despite its description, it actually does not use Shadow Steel in its crafting recipe.

Tier 3 phantom monsters used to wield this blade.[1] At some point their sword was changed to something resembling a magenta Cutter.
