Gundyr's Halberd | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

What items should I use with this for my first playthrough? Warrior class if that helps

Submit

Hilarious how it has notably high durability as if literally anything but the frayed blade and the moonlight greatsword are capable of breaking in this game.

Submit

Is this worth it over prisoners chain?

Submit

I love the stereotype of "this thing is so easy to parry", like people can't see a shield or dagger in the offhand, and like it doesn't have one of the best jump attacks in the game.

Love crapping on Dex builds with this thing. Very satisfying weapon, PvP or PvE. Was thinking of swapping to Dex and using Midir's katana, then I absolutely mopped the floor with someone using it. Best decision I made in the game was to try this thing first.

Submit

Does it benefit from the Leo ring?

Submit

Friede doesn't stand a chance against this thing's L2, it almost completely trivializes the whole first and third phase.

Submit

One of the hardest decisions in this game... the free +15 levels of the Prisoners Chain, or the sweet sexy power of this Totally-A-Halberd? In the end its up to you... though you'll end up with both anyway if you're gunning for all the achievements, due to the need to go up to NG++ at minimum for the Rings achievement.

Submit

it's ok, immolation tinder is better.

Submit

Glaive glowup

Submit

Alright. I'll make a SL8 twink with this and gundyr set then invade anyone who just defeated gundyr in cemetry of ASH

Submit

ok maybe i used this weapon a couple of times BUT IT WAS ONLY A COUPLE, OK?

Submit

Gotta love how they call almost every polearm that isn't a spear or scythe Halberds even if it's pretty obvious that they aren't

Not meaning to be "that guy",
Just saying, it's very clearly a Bardiche, not a halberd

Submit

This item's description and the poise table of this wiki contradict each other.

Submit

When I see people using this in PvP and there are ledges nearby, I deliberately jump off as they wind up the animation. That locks them in place and they all follow me to their doomn it's hilarious to watch. No matter how hard we try, no one can best gravity.

Submit

plz dont do this again

Submit

i miss this weapon

Wait a minute...

That's a bardiche, not a halberd!

Thank you for reading my useless trivia nitpicking comment.

Submit

Imagine having the longest weapon and holding it next to the tip

Submit

Who the hell is Jeenine lmao

Submit

is it good in pve???

Submit

you wanted to roll out? sorry i have my wake up slap ready!

Submit

Lmao why are folks so salty about this weapon. I've been hardswap gundyr'd before, and yea, it wrecks me pretty often, but it doesn't really make me all that mad. Seriously, just a game, y'all

Submit

I got this Halberd on my second playthrough (NG+), after I got the ring. I think the weapon art is pretty good.

Submit

Here, you´ll find: people crying about hardswaps, people crying about JeeNine, and people crying about not having the Gundyr kick. Saved you a read :)

Submit

i'm sick of jeenine wannabes

Submit

Gundyr's Halberd, Murky Hand Scythe, Pontiff Knight Curved Sword, Estus Cancelling.
You will see countless copy pasted clones online running around with these above things. Same setup, no emotions (besides BM'ing after a fight of course), and private profiles usually. There must be a factory somewhere churning them out or something. Anyways, the best counter to finding one is hitting alt f4 and blocking them. They will always be back though... for another one will just be shat out into the wilds of DS3.

R1+L2= 50% chance of killing invaders dead

Submit

The single most important step towards PVP success for me was learning how hilariously easy it is to parry this WA

Submit

Wanna see me do the weapon art? Wanna see me do it again?

Submit

The spin is possible to parry; not sure where that misinformation started. It's just that 90% of people that'd be standing by the time the spin happens are usually getting stunlocked by the charge, so it's rare to see.

Submit

I use L2 time to time, but what I do a lot is use a three hit r1 and roll away tactic to make sure I can avoid stunlocks.

so a pro tip for this thing is don't spam L2 or your going to get backstabbed by some players, instead use the high poise breaking attacks like R1 to stun lock enemies and use L2 to close of distances with archers or mages. So doing this can make this weapon decent, but the main upside is its high durability and not champions charge. But at the end of the day, I love this weapon.

Submit

Is this hyperarmor 360 spinning 2h R2 good for counter backstab?
I always have a hard time to backstab everyone who're using this moveset

Submit

A Perfectly balanced WA with terrible tracking.

Submit

If ur ganking with this and spamming WA, ur mum ***y

Submit

cringe tryhard weapon

Submit

If you randomly pull this weapon out of ur @ss (hotswap) for a surprise WA attack in duels just know you are a joke and most decent players are probably rolling their eyes and not taking u seriously after that.

Submit

Prostip: you can turn to side while charging to avoid getting parried, tracking on this thing is amazing

Submit

Easily my biggest weakness

Submit

Only good players have the ability to spam the weapon art. Such skill, such finesse.

Submit

Amazing how all it takes to ruin a weapon for everyone is one supremely sweaty goober who sounds like a quacking duck.

Submit

"ha ha ha i click L2 R2 Thanks for tongue host :D" - actual message I received after getting killed by someone who spammed the WA.

Is it my fault for relying on my dodge button to give me iFrames so I would be able to use those frames in an attempt to survive? Yes. Is this thing's spin hitbox annoying and broken as hell? Yes. Would I rather get killed by a Greatlance wake-up? A million times, yes.

Pardon my salt. Watching tryhards with ten of these in their inventory to hardswap has made me somewhat bitter.

Submit

I was watching JeeNine's videos on Youtube, and the way he uses this is just amazing. I have a Wheel of Time cosplay Gamertag of Matt Cauthon and am going to use this with him.

Submit

this is a pretty great weapon, shame you have to choose between this and prisoners chain.

Submit

Missed opportunity From, the WA should've been the war cry Gundyr does which turns your kicks exactly like Gundyr's and heavy attack into the charge

Submit

Commonly found within the hands of someone wearing ruin armor with like a dozen other weapons they can swap to.

Submit

I've never seen anyone using these as their main. I've only seen them using this as their finisher and its one of those weapons im legit scared of

Submit

the weapon art is actually op if you know how to change the weapon fast to surprise your enemy

Submit

I just wish it buffed your kick to be like Gundyr's

Submit

JeeNiNe don't point me down. I point myself down

Submit

gank spanker best friend

Submit

Perfect weapon art to punish the hell out of parries. You're probably wondering "Huh? No it isn't it is easily one of easiest to punish". But both are actually true in this case. The part of the weapon art that is parriable is the basic charge part of it, the spin is not. We can use this to our advantage in a lot of situations. When you charge at them, just quickly turn to the left and then quickly turn at them. The tracking on the spin is pretty ridiculous and it can infuriate players who are expecting an ezpz parry. Use this weapons poor reputation to your advantage. Half of the time they'll just stand still making hitting them with the 2nd part of the weapon art super easy. You're welcome/I'm sorry.

Submit

i don't know how well this tip may work, but...
if your opponent is trying to do the WA in a wakeup scenario, i think your best chance to avoid it is unlocking and rolling behind the charge.
it's kinda ridiculous how great the tracking of this Weapon Art, specially compared to other Charge Weapon Arts lol

Submit

So I've met some peaple who do spam the wpa, and I've started to learn how to parry it, and you know what ima make a build over it not spam the wpa and lawn mow doun anyone who says otherwise

Submit

If you only use this weapon to spam the weapon art, congrats, you're a braindead "meta" kind of guy

Submit

Free parry

Submit

Probably one of my favourite Weapons due to the fact that I love Halberds (technically a Bardiche) and I love Gundyr. Despite this weapons spammy nature, especially with its WA I still am gonna love it and whenever I run through the game I always struggle to choose between this or the Prisoners Chain, even if I’m not running a viable build. I do like the fact that at any point you can press parry and **** those guys who spam the WA.

Submit

Pretty cool weapon from a cool boss but it's a shame that people only use the weapon art.

Submit

FUC* YOU

Submit

Oh god let’s all spam the weapon art and have us all look like retarded lawn mowers and better yet get parried because of the lack of skill with the pkcs you don’t have to worry about that and you will win

Submit

I only ever see people spam the wa with this weapon and it’s usually in a gank too

Submit

remember casuls JeeNiNe made this weapon popular

Submit

WA should've had its tracking nerfed. Too strong on wakeups or when in close range. Nearly unavoidable.

Submit

A fun and great weapon. Too bad over half the community just uses it to swap to the weapon art

Submit

So 5000 hits you say? Then this is the weapon for no bonfire no repair challange (btw im not ymfah just saying)

Submit

Description is wrong, it does deal more poise damage than other halberds. Other halberds deal 20, this one does 30, which is the same as great axes.

Submit

All the cancerous jeenine wannabe kids spamming the WA on this, gives me conniptions

Submit

So, i saw some streamers with like 5 or 6 of this in their inventories, silly question but they really go to ng+7 just for pvp purposes? Or is there like a tool to get all items fot pvp?

Submit

The "has the power to break poise" statement may suggest, as i noticed in PvP, it can make people struggle even if they are using perseverance (and havent tested this ones but theres no reason ironflesh/body of rock would be different).
I kinda dislike this weapon, its almost a joke that they deleted poise as it was in ds1 and meanwhile added a weapon that makes you have infinite poise while using the weapon art, even if ur naked, deal massive damage and at the same time break the stance of anyone even with perseverance.

Submit

I don't know if this is common knowledge but it appears that R1 combos into the WA but the combo doesn't work if you extend the charge and just do the first half of the charge

Submit

got one shotted by this' WA while having spear of church buff and rosp

Submit

Splitleaf killed this weapon.

Submit

I remember people voting me down to hell when I stated it is a str weapon in summer 2019. What happened? Came to your senses?

Submit

Mained this weapon some time with a full Gundyr Build.
Its fun to use and quite strong, however easy to counter.
Sadly, i think it has one of the most fun WA in the game when using any strength weapon.
Wished the weapon had more advantages because it doesnt stay viable very long, as i would love to continue using it for the WA but simply wouldnt due to its severe disadvantages.

Submit

It says it cannot be buffed or infused, but why tf did I just get matched up with someone using this buffed with Crystal Magic Weapon. on ps4 btw, so no way its a hacker right

Submit

Nasty weapon whenever you need to escape and heal. Especially after you have been just backstabbed or riposted and now in standing up animation...

Submit

how i hate this piece of*****. most cancerous pvp weapon ever.

Submit

It kinda sucks that Prisoners Chain is the best ring in the game because this halberd is pretty damn good too

Submit

Cringe weapons for a very specific cringe small***** youtuber who things he is good at this game. you are***** complete garbage. keep abusing glitches and call it "mechanic" you wothless piece of rubbish. Playing apssive like a ***** boy and absuing glitches to ruin the game piece of kido

Submit

Just figured out the deepest lore: Gundyr's Halberd "has the power to break poise," right? And Gundyr's also the first boss you fight in the game. So what if poise doesn't exist in DS3 because Gundyr just kinda smacked it with his halberd so hard that poise broke?

Submit

those broken hitboxes make me mad

Submit

Oh man is this powerful in duels

Submit

Just saying it's really a bardiche not a halberd.

Submit

What happens if I dual wield it ?

Submit

I remember people voting me down to hell when I stated it is a str weapon in summer 2016. What happened? Came to your senses?

Submit

Honestly, the damage is not something you'll be impressed with if you're running a STR build, but the range, speed and moveset more than make up for it. It's like your enemy will ask to get sprint-chopped

Submit

"Among the longest weapons". Yeah...I'm afraid I lost count of the amount of times I completely misjudged the range of this halberd, leading to one horrible death after another.

Submit

is this weapon good?

Submit

Counters include any hyperarmor weapons, parrying, a decent shield, unfaltering prayer, quickstep, etc. For quick results, just equip a shield and block, watch the chip damage and laugh.

Submit

I believe the notes to be wrong about poise damage for this weapon. Normal Halberds do 20 poise damage while this one does a massive 30 on the same tier as greataxes and greatshields

Submit

I reeeeeeally need to find a perfect counter to this weapon I’m getting salty AF with the spam of its WA doesn’t help when he has a buddy ready to deal some pain

Submit

The weapon art of this should be called "The YOLO Charge"

Submit

500 durability or 50 and it makes no difference. This is Dark Souls 3.

Submit

If you're pondering if you should spend the boss soul on this weapon, the regular Glaive available from Greirat does ever so slightly better damage with a Sharp infusion when putting points in dex than this will on a similar investment in strength. The moveset is pretty much identical and the only real differences are the WA and the Glaive's lighter weight (enough difference to carry a parrying tool). Even the stamina cost per attack seems identical.

Submit

L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2 L2 R2

Submit

The durability is a huge outlier compared to the rest of the weapons. Is it like the santeir' s spear when it breaks?

Submit

Opponent: *Uses charge attack* Me: I'll just dodge behind you! Theres no way you'll hit me then! Opponent: Nothin' personal kiddo *SKKKRRRTTTT*

Submit

I can parry the weapon art every time.
