Revision 1

Overview

The Alabaster Halberd is a two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert. Named for its pale, bone-white finish, this halberd prioritizes precision over raw power. While its base Attack Power of 16 is modest compared to heavier options like the Gilliam Halberd (18 ATK), the Alabaster Halberd compensates with a Level 3 Critical Hit Chance bonus, one of the highest crit ratings available on any halberd.

This crit-focused profile makes the Alabaster Halberd a strong choice for players who invest in critical damage through Abyss Cores and combat skills. Each heavy swing has a meaningful chance to land as a critical hit, and when combined with the stagger potential inherent to halberds, the result is a weapon that can dish out surprising burst damage during openings.

Stats

How to Obtain

The Alabaster Halberd can be crafted at a Blacksmith. Unlocking the recipe requires reading the appropriate volume of the Two-Handed Weapons of the World crafting manual series. The crafting materials include Iron Ore and Copper Ore. It may also drop from halberd-wielding enemies encountered in the open world.

Refinement and Upgrades

The Alabaster Halberd can be refined at a Blacksmith to increase its base stats. With 5 Abyss Core slots, players should consider cores that increase critical damage or stagger buildup to complement the weapon's high crit rate. A fully refined Alabaster Halberd with critical damage cores can rival weapons with higher base Attack Power in terms of effective damage output.

Combat Tips

Because of its Level 3 Critical Hit Chance, the Alabaster Halberd rewards players who time their attacks carefully. Heavy overhead strikes already deal bonus damage, and landing those as critical hits can chunk large portions of an enemy's health bar. Use halberd skills that have natural synergy with critical hits, and pair the weapon with armor that boosts critical damage for even stronger results. The Alabaster Halberd is particularly effective against bosses where each hit counts, since the high crit rate means more frequent damage spikes during punish windows.

Comparison with Other Halberds

Notes

• The Alabaster Halberd and the Marauder's Halberd share the same Level 3 Critical Hit Chance, but the Alabaster Halberd has 2 more base Attack Power.

• The name "Alabaster" likely refers to the weapon's distinctive white coloring, setting it apart visually from darker halberd variants.
