Base recipe: Wood x10, Copper Ingot x7.1414Upgrade Bands1616Halberd uses the three-band Polearm and Club track, compressing Lvl 2-15 into bands at Lvl 2-5, Lvl 6-10, and Lvl 11-15. These bands substitute Smithing Flux for Master's Tools.1818Item-level upgrades for Halberd are performed at the Weaponsmith Workshop and follow the same per-band pattern documented for every weapon.

Upgrade to Sturdy Halberd or Plague Halberd for stronger effects.3333Lead with dodges because halberds cannot Perfect Block. Long-reach pokes during enemy recovery frames are the bread-and-butter pattern; heavy swings are your punish tool when the enemy whiffs.3535Talent Synergies3737Strength-scaling weapons pull from the Crusher branch of the Talent System, with Toughguy as a survivability complement. Relevant picks include talents that boost Crude damage, two-handed melee damage, posture break on staggered enemies, and stamina-efficient heavy attacks. Strength weapons also benefit from Toughguy talents like Stout Frame and Too Angry to Die that improve survivability during heavy-attack windows.3939See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Respeccing talents costs an in-game currency, so early-game branch commitments tend to lock in weapon pairings for the rest of the playthrough.4141Comparison Within Class4343Halberd sits alongside 3 other halberds on the current live index.
