How to Use Halberd

Highest Damage Weapon in The Game

Being the iconic weapon of the titular character Lu Bu, it's no surprise to learn that the Halberd boasts the highest damage output among all the Weapon Types. Function-wise, it's very much like the Sword, but with the reach of the Spear, and the damage of a perfect-counter Lance.

Halberd Arts effectively transform it into a handheld nuke.

Heavy Charge Time Reduction

The Halberd's unique trait is that it reduces the time to fully charge Heavy attacks after landing a Heavy attack. This way, you can open up with a Heavy attack and easily string into a combo, depending on whether you need to clear troops or quickly dispatch an enemy officer.

True Potential During War God Rage

Once you enter War God Rage when your Musou Gauge is at max, every aspect of the Halberd gets boosted. It gains significantly more range, damage, and attack speed. You will indeed feel like Lu Bu during this state.
