Why is Great Sword given?

Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods

How would such a character generate critical hits, which are needed to take advantage of Skald's special?

If your goal is to land lots of crits you might want to use a weapon which has an inherent ACC bonus and/or is fast. Like clubs - clubs are quite nice for a Skald because they can lower Will by 25 points with the modal. Killers Froze Stiff paralyzes the enemy and targets Will. Paralyze also leads to a high hit-to-crit conversion. You can see the synergy: lower will to make it easier to land with will attacks like Killers FS, then crit because of paralyzed enemies.

 

Kapana Taga has a neat enchantment where you get +4 ACC per engaged target...

 

Other good options would be Rännig's Wrath because it already starts with +9 ACC (+5 rapier, +4 Thrusting enchantment). Also Rapiers have a modal that increases ACC even further which you can switch on for Soul Annihilation - make sure it hits because else it's such a waste of focus. 

 

And of course Sasha's Singing Scimitar because it's just awesome to use with a Skald and does good melee damage. You can use an empowered invocation in every encounter without resting. Maybe use

Swords? Not really... I mean they also work, but are not especially useful for this.

 

The Singing Scimitar is a sabre.

 

Spears would also work well I guess.
