Lothric Knight Long Spear | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Raises poise by 8.96 not 15

Submit

This baby is a great weapon for bosses: great range + good roll R1 (in 2h) and also nice dex scaling

Submit

Btw, at +10 blessed this thing gets an S scaling in faith; not sure about lightning but if you need a good spear for a faith build and dont want to use or dont have the saints bident, this is a good option.

Submit

Gotta love how it gives extra poise despite not even profiting off of hyper armor...
Despite its weight, I like to strap a blessed or simple infused one on my back while 2-handing a heavy weapon since you still get the poise buff that way.

Submit

When Lothric Knight use it : verstile deadly weapon. When u use it : oversised charge rapier. Still the range and tracking of this thing is amazing. If counter hits would be easier to land in ds3, this would get way more prise. Sadly the poise dmg vs pve is weak. You gonna kill swamp crabs before you' ll be able to do critical attack animation.

Submit

That blade is long enough to detach it from the pole and use it as a short sword.

Submit

The weapon is bugged as of now. I have my stats where the requirements are and it isn't letting me even use it.

Submit

I just wanted horizontal slashes with R2s...

Submit

Maining this with broadsword in the offhand for the odd horizontal slash. Not terrible and looks pretty cool imo.

Submit

"slow weapon" yeah that's bullsht. 2h r2 goes out faster than a straight sword poke.

Submit

" increase poise'" in ds 3 hahahahahhahahahahha

Submit

The antennae you strap to your back to pick up the poise waves

Submit

Not a spear but a pike. Pikes have a slow moveset one-handed. Not a good weapon with shield other than suggested by enemies you get it from.

Submit

Increases useless by 15 while equipped.

Submit

question, why does this weapon bounce off all shields even while two handed? i was gonna do a build with this but i found this out while still in the high wall

Submit

Don't you just hate it when the mob can swing horizontally with a weapon and you can't?

Submit

With S Faith scaling at +9 Blessed, this baby is your one-stop shop for martial Cleric builds. Poke poke poke

Submit

So does this provide poise? Some people use it on their back for some reason

Submit

Many people say Partizan is better than Lothric Spear but I find this spear suits me well. Long reach attack, Long reach jump attack. Super funny running attack. The running one works well with terrains, I have pushed many guys off the cliff. Although its easy to be parried but still very fun to play.

Submit

Was playing a pyromancer and this dropped from the very first knight wielding the spear near the high wall of lothric. Of course when I want one with a herald build the RNG hates me.

Submit

Blessed infusion attains S scaling in faith at 10+. Not A

Submit

This is especially good in group pvp, as you can reliable hit L2 from behind other friendly players. People rarely manage to dodge them if they're busy dodging someone else. Lots of uses during invasions, while invading yourself + npc enemies, Spear of the Church fights and brawls. Not so much in 1v1 unless you can manage to charge just enough to get them to roll.

Submit

i was thinking...
What if we give this weapon the R2 of the Slashing Spears like Dark Souls 2?
Sweep and Thrust, so not only has a varied moveset, but also one pretty useful one-handed R2 that could mess up Parrying timing even more.
except the Two-Handed R2 tho, the Tracking is too good to change it, maybe a Slashing move after the Strong poke?

Submit

The R2 has seemingly limitless tracking. What I mean by this, is that most weapon attacks allow you to change your direction mid swing, in order to correct them if poorly aimed. Either they messed up a value or intentionally made one of the most reliable r2s for rollcatching in this weapon. From the moment you start it to the moment the attack is fully out, you can do a full 360⁰ spin, and a little more. You can spin the entire move around and still hit someone in front of you. If that's not stylish I don't know what is. This is quickly becoming my favorite weapon.

Submit

the R2 can easily rollcatch enemies after the two R1 pokes, tricking also parries since its slower

Submit

This increases poise by 10~(9.7...) not 15 as stated, like or dislike to confirm

Submit

I miss poise.

Submit

i just sell them

Submit

Such a terrible weapon don’t you guys feel any shame using this I mean go ahead and use it if you like dying but if you use pkcs you won’t have to worry about it

Submit

I wish it had the Stance of the Lothric Knights when they're two-handing the Spear as a weapon art instead of the simple Charge we got now.
come to think about it, most Spears and Pikes are really underwhelming as weapons in this game, right?
though this is probably one of the better Spears in the game, kinda wish it had a B/B in the Refined Infusion.

Submit

Cool trick with this weapon in pvp is to fight two handed until you see them fish for a parry, then switch to the slower one handed attacks and they'll parry too early most times. Completely ****s up their rhythm

Submit

and here we have, the "lothric turtle". this variation of the "lothric knight" are quiet common here in this environment, spending their days wallowed over corpses, or patrolling the crumbling and withered courtyards and stations, whenever encountered, the will hide behind their protective greatshield waiting for the enemy to attack, but in these times, predators have figured out how to counter their defenses, a kick, because of this, they will be endangered, very soon, this has been, "animal dark souls" please tune in, for next episode (and i comment here instead of the lothric knight page because)

Submit

Currently Chaos and Dark infusions have A/A scaling at fully upgraded (just tested)

Submit

Please correct me if this has changed and im just stupid. But to my knowledge the +15 poise doesnt work. Same a s thw wolf ring and poise in general. Yes we can see the poise stat in the character screen, but you could have smough set and still be fliched by one dagger hit. Thats because poise is "turned off" so to speak. So the secondary ability of this weapon is useless. Again, please correct me if im wrong, something may have changed and i just never knew this is just what i know

Submit

Why are these so wrong?

Submit

THE POISE ANTENNA

Submit

I think r2 deals a critical hit after a kick, wich might be devastating

Submit

Why does this grant you poise? It's a spear. It has no hyperarmor. Yes, I know you can offhand it to give your greatsword/ugs/greathammer more hyperarmor, but it seems like you should be able to utilize the buff it gives you without any other weapon.

Submit

I'm certain that from gives these offhand-based buffs to big weapons (owcgs, warbanner, this etc) to make you look goofy with an antenna or giant hairy sword on your back while you pvp

Submit

Is it just me, or it s uncharged r2 is faster than it s r1?

Submit

I throw on Havels, Wolf Ring, this, and then Astora GS abd I almost never get staggered unless there are multiple weapons hitting me at once or maybe something like the FUGS

Submit

I throw on Havels, Wolf Ring, this, and then Astora GS and then I almost never get staggered

Submit

One of the few weapons in this game I can think of that can be useful even if you never ever actually use it on anyone. Keep it on your back with 2 handed hyper armor weapon for a literal antenna on your back picking up poise transmissions from space. Give it a blessed or simple infusion for a poise+hp/fp regen antenna. My quality build get's a lot of use out of this thing lol.

Submit

Please get this Rakuyo pseudo-lore off the main articles.

Submit

criminally underrated weapon. seriously. learn your spacing don't spam attacks. the funny thing about spears: up close easiest weapon to parry, at proper range almost impossible.

Submit

Give poise health, but has no actual hyper armor to speak of. Wot.

Submit

Does this really not increase its scaling when upgrading with Refined? An unupgraded one, if I go to infuse it refined, shows CC, same as the table here shows +10

Submit

Pair this with the silver armour set and the most helmets....*boom!* Instant guard. Throw your soap down and protect your lords!

Submit

Holy moly. This weapon is incredibly amazing. You just learn your spacing. Works great with leo ring. Damage is less then other popular weopons, but this little guy has finesse. Im beating every type of player from casters to ultrasword big hitters. I think about poise health the whole time and i fight with poise and spacing on my mind. Also the 15 free poise health? Yes please. Very high tier weapon. Makes the othef guy a little careful around you. You strike them when you outreach them or they are recovering stamina

Submit

In case people worry about getting parried, if you make it so they parry the tip of the blade, the time it takes to run up and crit. you will give enough time to roll out and poke again. *Tested against some invader with Dragonslayer Axe.

Submit

when you do a jumping attack with this spear it glitches out your arm.

Submit

Has anybody tried this with a faith build? I'm wondering how the damage is. I don't need it to be great, just decent. I'm making a faith caster. So I'm thinking the poise bonis with the WA from a talisman would be great for casting.

Submit

Corrected the dex Sharp infusion scaling, is A scaling, not B.

Submit

Soooo... anyone on ps4 willing to trade for this? e v e;

Submit

This has a C scaling in STR on +4 and +5 with Heavy scaling now.

Submit

All spear sucks in DS3, but this is good spear.
Why?
Cuz it gibs P O I S E

Submit

It has a D, A scaling at +10 with a sharp infusion now
