Fun fact: Every version of the halberd has some form of a true combo. Guardian Swordspear moveset gets one handed jump R2 into R1, Poke halberds get 2 handed jump R2 into R1 and one handed R1 into basically any small off hand weapon. Chop Halberds have the weirdest ones. They get 2 handed R1 into Fan Dagger headshot into 2nd R1, and a 2nd R1 combos into the 3rd R1 in the chain if you aim the third hit to the left. Special shoutout to the Lucerne btw. It took until patch 1.09, which was over a year from release, for it to actually have Pierce damage on every attack.

@@aesiro13for PvE, halberd are great but they really shine in PvP due to mixup and roll catch potential, which make them so strong. For PvE, I’d recommend the dragon halberd for early game, the frostbite + lighting will wreck everything early on. The guardian swordspear for late game as it has a very high scaling in dex and can be buffed by Millicent’s prosthesis and Rotten winged sword insignia very easily. Also buffable with greases so it’s extremely versatile. For str, the night rider glaive with war cry / braggarts roar can take you through the whole game easily, use the roar medallion, highland axe, spear talisman, and axe talisman and watch those R2s delete enemies. If you want a bleed option, the vulgar militia saw w/ Bloodflame Blade and spinning slash will absolutely delete health bars, you can also offhand a blood infused estoc for when enemies get too close.

I personally use a Banished Knight Halberd with Stormcaller just for the Banished Knight Cosplay build I play around with any time I'm not running a Crucible Knight Cosplay build (seriously I'm damn near addicted to these two builds and I rarely run anything else because they're just that fun). May not do absolute show stopper damage but it still hits pretty hard no matter what level you're playing at. There will always be better options but it's reliably decent.

The swordspear seems limited by its range, until you realize you can put the spear talisman on for 45% pierce damage counterattacks. At 60 dex the weapon has 700 AR, meaning you’re effectively poking for 1000 AR against their base armor value. What it loses in armor, it makes up for in being near impossible to trade lights with.
