Of course, that also makes it a very nice weapon to use when being summoned. It's basically a stronger Golden Vow! Unfortunately most people do prefer Golden Vow's flexibility with weapons, so it's not too uncommon that you'll run into a situation where another summon has already used Golden Vow, and you have to either override it or accept a slightly weaker buff... /w\

For my own reference: Dragon Halberd + either Glaive or Nightrider looks intriguing. I don't play much with buff builds, usually because buffs require reapplication, so this may be the build to try that playstyle. A bit torn on whether Glaive or Nightrider would be a better companion, but Glaive is lighter so that may be what I go with first, even if that's not what I'll ultimately stick with. Probably will come down to playtesting. Ripple Crescent + Vulgar Saw also looks fun, or Ripple + Dragon Communion. I really liked the Swordspears my first playthrough, so doing a build more focused on one of them with Jellyfish Shield is definitely something I'm open to trying.

As someone who used Dragon Halberd for the majority of my playthrough I felt that the buff length was fine. It is long enough to proc frost on an enemy, and overall adds hundreds of damage to a short burst of attacks. The fact that rebuffing the weapon is as easy as attacking again, means that if anything it seems due for a nerf.

Literally every single attack in the dual GSS kit is useful. It's such a well designed weapon.

The Commander's Standard really shines when you're using it like a commander - with other troops. The 30 FP cost is really worth it if you're using something like the Greatshield or Mausoleum Knights because then you're buffing the attack and defense of 6 units for 30 seconds. They also make the longer casting animation less of an issue because they're pulling aggro while you buff _EVERYONE._ My first playthrough, I used this along with the Jellyfish Shield because the thrusting attack allows you to make the best use of its superior range and poke for HUGE damage. That shield also lets you have an alternative buff to attack for yourself for just 5FP… _and both buffs can stack._ As I had buffs on my main weapon and shield, I would occasionally swap out to a staff in my main hand at range, because I had a shieldwall of units to tank damage and pull aggro while raining down magic on opponents. Add to that the fact that the Terra Magicka spell and the Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear _ALL STACK_ with the previous buffs, and you have a build that will justify a bigger investment in more FP. You can deal with anything quite handily, and it takes _zero_ investment in Faith or Arcane. For me it was ideal for a start as a Prisoner focused on a Str/Int build that lets you really leverage melee, magic, & summons.

My build i had a lot of fun with as a strength scaling halberd user 1).night rider's glaive in main hand with the sword dance ash of war (the 3 hit one) (make sure you scale it by heavy). 2).in the off hand use the gargoyle's halberd just infuse any ash of war and scale it in heavy. 3).make sure you make your character have atleast 56 poise to make it so that at the very least you can resist lower end enemy attacks but 67 poise is more advised. 4). if you want you can use a seal of any kind really in your off hand to make your attacks do what ever damage more (lightning or bloodflame) 5). just jump power stance attack enemies (even bosses) and this will give you pretty much enough poise break damage to follow up with another power stance attack with both halberds. 6). as a recommendation, i suggest that you use a great shield that had 100 physical damage reduction for speedy enemies that either teleport around or dodge quckly (or just kill them in the first jump power stance + power stance attack combo) 7). 60 vigor, ~10 mind (higher mind but only if you first meet other requirements), 40-45 endurance 22-80 strength (level this as you go after you get all other requirements), 10 dex, 10 intelligence, 15-inf faith (only if using electrify armament), and 12-inf arcane (only 12 arcane is needed if you want to be using the bloodflame enchant) 8). have fun as i did.

I feel like the power stance moveset on halberds needs more love. Especially with the poke moveset. Commanders standard main hand and currently babished offhand. You have a decently quick and flinching stab light, a great paired roll attack that closes you in if you roll out and has good poise damage and just good damage generally. Same goes for the jump attack. If you are outnumbered you have massive stager and very wide swings on your power stance attacks (running L1 is a standout) you also have a good damage cc jump attack with your jump R2 and a really generous swing with the rolling R1. Basically you have a tool for every situation at the cost of a slightly awkward wind up. In souls games I've heard scythes called trickster weapons and wanted to use them because that sounded like a cool idea. Scythes failed to offer this in er, but halberds succeeded with flying colors.

Dragon halberd has bonus damage vs dragons. 10-15% I think according to the wiki. It does lightning damage which is bad vs the many many lighting dragons in the game but is probably ok against other dragons due to doing standard/pierce dmg. I imagine it's still bad. Commander's standard also buffs mimics and allies. If your friend isn't using sacred vow to overwrite it then 20% dmg/negation on your summons and ally means it's like 80%/80% overall. The downsides are the long cast time and fp like you mentioned and it's kinda not great for your own dmg. I was thinking vulgar militia saw might be good against dragons when you're not allowed to use a horse (Farum Azula) since you can't lock onto their legs. But if its range is short that's a huge downside.

The guardian's swordspear is neither a sword nor a spear...it's a Halberd!

Awesome videos, new player really enjoying the detailed information on weapons I am finding as I play. Any chance at getting a straight sword video soon? I know it's a massive category.

14:10 you could put golden halberd in left hand use golden vow and then switch to one hand and use rallying standard for double buff 😎

I completed my first run with dual swordspears set to keen on a dex build. It was glorious! The L1 moveset is a lot of fun.

The ripple Cresent halberd is for grease and status effects. It sleeps bleeds frosts like crazy with grease because of high arcane scaling

first weapon, "good default AR but poor scaling making it much better earlier than later" next sentence "150 points in its scaling attributes makes it great for late game and NG++" ????

Well if you wanna use it, you need something for it to work. Something else would do better, but if that weapon you want specifically, then you need those stats to make it "good" for ng+

Do you know what would be cool to be added? Pollaxes as a weapon class. I know the lucerne exists but there should be more pollaxes. The 2 handed R1 should be should be some attacks with the axe part R2 should be some thrusts The running attack be similar to the running attack from ds1 of the halberd but with the hammer part. Backstep attack should be a attack with the hammer part from the side that combos into 2 handed R1. Roll/crouch attack should be a attack from the bottom with the hammer part. Fuck unrealistic shit like dual wielding attacks and 1 handing one
