Golem's Halberd

Notes

• With Standard affinity, physical damage scales most strongly with Strength, with weaker Dexterity scaling.
• Upgrade it with Smithing Stones. Its maximum upgrade is +25.
• Can use compatible Ashes of War. Your choice of skill and the whetblades you've found determine which affinities you can apply.
• Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
• Requires 36 Strength and 14 Dexterity and weighs 21.5. Two-handing meets its Strength requirement at 24; Strength contributes more than Dexterity on Standard.
• Despite the name, it belongs to the Colossal Weapon class. Its broad sweeping heavy attacks differ from the narrow chops of an ordinary halberd.
• Starts with Charge Forth for 16 FP. This is an unusual built-in skill for a colossal weapon: its transferable Ash cannot be reapplied to this weapon.
• Keeping Charge Forth means keeping Standard affinity. Applying a different compatible Ash lets you change affinity, but you cannot combine Heavy or another affinity with this original Charge Forth setup.
• Its ordinary attacks deal Standard damage. The Pierce part shown in its attack types belongs to Charge Forth, so ordinary swings do not all receive a thrust-counter bonus.
• The weapon has no built-in Fire or Magic damage, regardless of the attacks used by certain Golem enemies. Its ordinary swings have no innate status buildup.
• Respawning halberd Golems have a 10% base weapon drop chance at 100 Item Discovery; non-respawning ones have 5%. Bow carriers have a different weapon reward.
