44 The Gilliam Halberd is a two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert. It belongs to the halberd subclass of polearms, combining the reach of a spear with the chopping power of an axe head. With a base Attack Power of 18, the Gilliam Halberd sits among the higher-damage halberds available, surpassing options like the Freesword Halberd (14 ATK) and the Bonepit Halberd (15 ATK). Its Level 1 Critical Hit Chance bonus gives it a slight edge when fishing for burst damage on heavy swings.

66 Halberds in Crimson Desert reward a patient, spacing-focused playstyle. Their wide sweeping arcs and extended reach let players control crowds of enemies, while the overhead chops deliver strong stagger against shielded opponents. The Gilliam Halberd shares its 18 Attack Power with the Lambert Halberdthough the Lambert variant trades up to a Level 3 Critical Hit Chance at the cost of being harder to obtain.

2525 Like other non-unique weaponsthe Gilliam Halberd supports refinement at any Blacksmith. Each refinement level increases the weapon's base Attack Power, though material costs scale with each tier. The 5 Abyss Core slots can be filled at a Witch vendor to add passive bonuses. Because the Gilliam Halberd already has a small Critical Hit Chance bonus, slotting Abyss Cores that boost critical damage can amplify its burst potential.

2929 The Gilliam Halberd performs well as a primary two-handed weapon for players who favor aggressive play with some reach. Its sweeping attacks are effective for clearing groups of weaker enemies, while the overhead slam can break through enemy guards. Pair it with halberd skills that exploit the weapon's stagger capability to keep bosses locked down. Players looking for a stronger critical-focused halberd may eventually want to upgrade to the Lambert Halberdbut the Gilliam Halberd is a solid stepping stone that remains viable through the mid-game.
