Add to Watchlist

Halberds

This is a list of all Halberds in Elden Ring. Read on to see a complete list of all base game and DLC Halberds including a list of the best Halberds and info on their stat scalings, stat requirements, damage, and default Ashes of War.

Best Halberds

Weapon Explanation
Elden Ring - GuardianGuardian's Swordspear ・Gets A-scaling in Dexterity when Keen infused at +25.
・Very fast slash attack moveset compared to other Halberds; still gets a poke with its running R1.
・An amazing Keen-infused weapon for DEX builds, especially since you get access to weapon buffs like Bloodflame Blade.
Elden Ring - Dragon HalberdDragon Halberd ・Has a unique version of Spinning Slash that also imbues the weapon with Lightning damage and Frost buildup.
・Can be used to delete enemy players in PvP since the first hit of its Spinning Slash usually combos with the follow-up. Works really well against aggressive 3-man teams.
Elden Ring - CommanderCommander's Standard ・Grants bonus damage as an aura buff similar to Golden Vow (does not stack with it though). Does not require Faith to cast.
・Gets a B-scaling in Strength and is one of the longest reaching Halberds available in the game.
