Halberds are the kind of melee weapons in Elden Ring that have a massive amount of range. These halberds use a combination of both thrusting and swinging attacks, dealing quite a decent amount of damage.

As of now, there are a few halberds that players can chase within the game. A few of them can be wielded right from the start, but the best amongst them have quite a hefty stat requirement to be met.

In truth, halberds are not the most popular amongst players, but there are a few amongst them who will find these fun to use during their playthroughs.
