Notes

  • With Standard affinity, physical damage scales most strongly with Dexterity, with weaker Strength 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 only 10 Strength and 10 Dexterity and weighs 4. Its low requirements and weight come with very short reach for a spear.
  • Its heavy attacks use several successive thrusts, a pattern shared with Cleanrot Spear. Multiple contacts can help apply an added status effect, but do not grant innate bleed.
  • Dexterity is its stronger Standard attribute. Blood or Cold can add status, while a buffable Physical affinity can use compatible grease or a weapon enchantment.
  • Starts with Impaling Thrust for 9 FP. It can also perform ordinary guarded thrusts when used with a shield, though you still need enough stamina to block afterward.
  • Prophet starts with one, and Twin Maiden Husks sell one for 600 runes regardless of class. That gives Prophet two fixed copies without farming.
  • Eligible Foot Soldiers carrying this spear have a 4% base drop chance at 100 Item Discovery. Their other weapons are different drops, so a sword-carrying Foot Soldier is not another spear attempt.
