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 14 Strength and 12 Dexterity and weighs 8. Its Standard scaling favors Strength, unlike the Dexterity-focused Lucerne.
  • Its thrusting light attacks provide a different approach from the chopping light attacks on several other halberds. Pierce contacts can benefit from counterhits when an enemy is attacking.
  • Starts with Charge Forth for 16 FP. Holding the input extends the run and adds running contacts before the finishing thrust, but also commits more stamina and distance.
  • It has no innate bleed or elemental damage. The regular Halberd is different from Banished Knight's Halberd and the Holy-damage Golden Halberd.
  • Vagabond starts with one, and the merchant east of Saintsbridge sells one for 1,200 runes. The shop copy is available to every starting class.
  • Vagabond's starting armor, sword, shield and halberd can leave the character with a heavy roll. Unequipping an unused weapon reduces equipped weight without discarding it.
