Ingredients: Sturdy Halberd x1, Tumbaga Ingot x9. The ascension consumes the Rare weapon. See Tumbaga Ingot for sourcing notes and Upgrade System for the full ascension mechanic.2323How to Obtain2525Dropped from late-game pirate fort chests and Buccaneer captain caches.Reliable-line weapons share a loot pool with Sturdy Saber and Sturdy Mace.2727Loot Sources2929This weapon rolls from the shared Pirate Chest Loot Pool at a 20% per-chest chance across 13 chest spawns (Blackbeard Crew, Buccaneers', Decrepit, Old Skeleton, Smugglers', and Thomas Richards' chests). See that article for the full chest list and locations.3131Tactical Usage3333Highest base damage halberd at Epic, with Strength (S) scaling that beats both Plague and Executioner on raw damage per swing. A top pick when the fight doesn't reward the other two's situational mechanics.3535Lead 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.3737Talent Synergies3939Strength-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.4141See 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.4343Comparison Within Class4545Sturdy Halberd sits alongside 3 other halberds on the current live index.
