“This big ol' sword is definitely gigant...ic! It's a bit hard to swing around, but it'll keep you well guarded. Use it to shield yourself from an attack, then go on the offensive!”
— Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten LandGigant Sword is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Sword that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. With this ability, Kirby wields an outfit as well as a sword and shield that resembles Wild Edge. Although slow, this ability's sword swings can do considerable damage. When guarding, Kirby pulls out a shield that negates most forms of damage. He is also able to move around with the shield up, but he cannot dodge.
The blueprint for Gigant Sword can be found in Circuit Speedway, appearing inside a Treasure Chest along the main path which pops up as a reward for defeating Wild Edge in that stage. Gigant Sword is required for the Treasure Road stage Slash and Slice! Gigant Sword Trial.
