Appraisal[]
Recommendations[]
Sword Breaker deals bonus Physical damage to Asura enemies. Inflicting Burn on enemies with Emanuel increases your Physical damage by 50%.
Warrior[]
For Warrior, Emanuel helps with clearing Quests at Q.Lv. 110+ and fighting Asura bosses. You can use Emanuel to inflict Burn before switching to an 
Axe or another weapon to deal lots of damage with War Cry. For example, Emanuel can pair well with Heat Zaghnal when fighting Asura bosses.
Oracle[]
Although Emanuel is not necessary for Fire Oracle, it's still helpful for fighting Asura enemies and inflicting Burn. An alternate Greatsword is Holy Sword for bonus damage against Primal enemies.

Lore[]
Real World Significance[]
A modern replica of a 16th-17th century sword breaker dagger.
The ceremonial sword of Maximilian Emanuel, the namesake of the in-game Greatsword. The blade is made from the rostrum sawfish.
The real-life sword breaker is a 16th-17th century dagger with a blade that resembles the barbed teeth of a comb. It's designed to entrap an opponent's blade to make openings for follow-up attacks. It's not clear if sword breakers can actually break sword blades since the swords of that era were designed to withstand forces much stronger than that of an opponent's off-hand.[1]
The name "Emanuel" refers to Maximilian II Emanuel, Prince-Elector of Bavaria.[2] His two-handed ceremonial sword was made from the rostrum sawfish.[3]
