Red Hilted Halberd | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

My favorite PvP weapon for taking down the endless hordes of Straight Sword and Iron Round Shield + Hornet ring and dagger casuls. Outreaching most of their options, an almost guaranteed two-hit stunlock, and when combined with a knight slayers ring and mixing up your r1s with kicks you can always threaten to ruin your opponent's stamina if they play too aggressive.

This weapons awesome but for the love of god It sucks balls against curse rotted and it can't hit **** there

Submit

Red hilted halberd is better for physical infusions, while standard halberd is superior for elemental ones.

Submit

I suck at fighting it.

Like a spear but good.

Why use this when you can become a meta slave and become a "pro" pkcs user with only r1 spams

Submit

roll catch machine

Ds2 Halberd was better than this ****. Swinging this weapon was more enjoyable.

Submit

Godlike weapon in pvp, wear leo ring and make people think twice before trading with you again
Also beware of instant spamming r1 after WA, experienced players gonna parry the **** out of you

Submit

To those who offhand this and repeatedly spam l1. F*ck you

Best. Cosplay. Ever.

Submit

Perfect with Chaos infusion on your left and with a Crystal Chime on your right for poise casting of both miracles and sorceries!

Submit

The virgin using a spear vs the chad using a halberd as a spear

Submit

Wanna use a spear? Well here you got best spear in the game aint even a spear. Although I aint mad as I love halberds

Submit

Even at 40STR/40DEX, Sharp infusion still edges out a higher AR

Submit

The perfect weapon for running down chuggers and rollspammers. Instantly shuts down big slow weapons and short ranged ones like sellswords. The perseverance ability on it means you can keep up the pressure during critical moments where the dude is 1 hit from death and starts attacking so you roll away and he can chug. I use this as a secondary weapon but its versatility should not be underestimated.

Submit

It's basically an aggressive version of the lothric long spear

Submit

Scaling Ilis very wrong. At +4 Sharp grants A scaling.

Submit

Ah yes a weapon with one of the worst weapon arts in the game. It grants you high poise but by the time you can do anything your either dead because you get punished for trying it and you still take full damage or the buff ends and your staggered by an r1. Go for the standard halberd. It's weapon art is easy to parry but at least has some use pve

Submit

It scales better with a Sharp gem on a 40/40 Quality build, the AR is 240 + 247 = 487 instead of a Refined Red Hilted at 480. NOT all weapons should be refined for a 40/40 quality build, some do better with Sharp.

Submit

Why do people like these weapons? the moveset is a very boring poke, an easily parryable R2, and lackluster damage making it not worth while in pve. I mean sure this particular one has a good weapon art, but god those pokes. The animation for it looks like the character is just struggling to hold the damn thing...

Submit

In pvp I run this with a lightning infusion a chaos dagger parry took and frayed blade for after repost if they live

Submit

On a Blessed infusion, this might not be clocking the best of damage, but that can easily be supplemented with the Leo Ring. Put on some heavy armor, the Ethereal Oak Shield, the Sun Princess Ring, the Lloyd Rings and slap on Gentle Prayer for good measure, you've got a good paladin set up.

Submit

In PVP, this weapon plus the Leo Ring basically adds up to "When you attack, you get punished for a third of your health, and now it's my turn to attack." Also, avoid using the two-handed R2, you're gonna get parried more times than you're actually gonna land it.

Submit

Favorite weapon. So versatile. Only annoying thing is using it against very large enemies. I had to free aim most of the bigger bosses and it still wasnt very effective. But I mostly pvp so not much of an issue.

Submit

Are there any other Halberds with a similar moveset? The poke attack along with the sweep is really nice and it's a much better altermnative to the janky hitboxes of spears.

Submit

Sharp 10+ has D strength ... but A for Dex scaling

It makes sense why this got away for so long, its cause no body uses this thing.

Submit

It gets an A in Dex when Sharp infused at+6 for me

Submit

It mentions that the AR for 4040 quality is 480, but sharp with the same stats is 2 AR higher. I know it doesnt really matter unless going for a lower level build. Not a quality weapon, this belong w/ sharp.

Submit

This weapon is the bane of almost all ultra greatsword users. Just use the weapon skill just as they attack and you are almost guaranteed to poke them two times.

Submit

Anyone not gonna comment how this is the same default halberd weapon (look wise) from dark souls 2? Okay.

Submit

Sharp +7 gets "A" in DEX, I suppose is the same in +10

Submit

Heavy +10 actually gets an "A" in strength, not a "B".

Submit

For some reason when refined its called a "Red halberd" rather than "Red hilted halberd"

Submit

I imagine this will be making a comeback to counter all the paired ug's users.

Submit

For Honor. Lawbringer build

Whether you use this or the vanilla Halberd is mostly a preference of which Skill you like more. The real-world AR difference between both Halberds on any given build / infusion is about 2~10 AR, with RHH being the slightly higher one. They're almost identical outside of the Skill.

Perseverance allows you to momentarily Poise through attacks that would usually interrupt you, so your attack will go through even if you're hit during your animation. Perseverance also provides a massive physical damage-reduction buff for an instant when you use the skill, which allows you to win trades against heavy weapons by just ignoring some of the damage with the buff.

The Charge skill of the vanilla Halberd allows you to quickly close distance and deal some follow-up damage, the total damage will be significantly higher than a basic R1, but isn't quite as spectacular as Champion's Charge (which also knocks enemies down), but at least the regular Halberd is buffable. You can also use this move to trade as it has a lot of built in hyper-armour, but it will generally be less effective than Perseverance unless your Charge interrupts the opponent's action.

At first I thought this was called the Red Hitler Halberd
derp

Submit

The ultimate counter to any meta cancer.
Leo ring + L2 + R1 = meta destroyer.

Submit

Is it viable with 40 strength, and base dex? I just wanna make a paladin build with this thing.

Submit

It doesn't mention it but there's about a 20-25% dmg reduction outside of it's sweet spot which is the tip, hitting closer than that deals less damage

Submit

On a hollow quality build with 40 str 40 dex and 30 luck with is boosted to 40 with my hollow offhand and hollow halberd, I get 499 AR. Seems to be the best Infusion since I can still buff with resins or spell

Submit

Is it worth it to not infuse this weapon so that I can put buffs on it?

Submit

so since poise is worthless the ability doesnt do ***** right? just reduces damage?

Submit

...which was my favorite PVE weapon :D

Submit

How much extra damage is received on this weapon when infused with Lightning at 45 FTH?

Submit

it would be nice if someone could tell me how it scales with the different gems. like would i be better going both dex and str, or just one? any b or a scalings anywhere?

Submit

It has a good scaling, i have 464ar for chaos infusion with 30/30 faith/int

Submit

Anyone know if this is any different to the standard halberd?

Submit

Love this weapon.
