by The Dragon Halberd is a very interesting Elden Ring weapon for characters who focus on Strength or Quality Builds with an Ash of War of their own that is very interesting and is what makes it shine.
The halberd’s moveset is typical of this type of weapon and I think we all already know its virtues, such as its great range in its attacks or its power, however, and as I have already mentioned, the most special thing it has is an Ash of War only that will allow us to imbue the weapon in Lightning and that is really cool.
In this post we will thoroughly analyze the weapon and I will also tell you how you can get it if you are interested, here we go!
DRAGON HALBERD ATTRIBUTES
These are his stats:
- Base Damage level 1: 134 physical.
- Weight: 10.5.
- Critical: 100.
- Protections:
- Physical: 52.
- magic 37
- Fire: 37.
- Lightning: 37.
- Sacred: 37.
- Stability: 39.
- Attribute Scaling:
- Strength 😀
- Dexterity: d
- Necessary Attributes:
- Force 22.
- dexterity 1st
- War Ash: Whirling Slash.
Base physical damage is very good, in fact it’s a tad (only by one point) better in this aspect even than the Golden Halberd (which is one of the best halberds in the game, although that’s more for Faith Build), at least at level 1.
It scales equally in Strength and Dexterity with D in both (at level 1), so it comes in handy on Strength or Quality builds (Quality is Strength + Dexterity); in Dexterity builds it could also be interesting but in those builds it is better to opt for faster weapons like the Uchigatana or if on the contrary you want something a little more powerful (and slow, of course) you already have a tremendous weapon like the Fang of bloodhound _
To weigh, it weighs a lot, but it is not an excessive weight either, there are much heavier weapons (example, the Greatsword of Guts ); I consider that a high weight is from 10, so we are very much in that line. Regarding requirements, since they are quite low, the most notable would be 22 Strength, but you get that in a moment.
But let’s talk once about the best thing he has, his Ashes of War; with it we will give a rotating slash that will cause additional lightning damage and that will also imbue our weapon in Lightning for a few seconds (about 15 seconds), which adds 60 lightning damage to the weapon (at least it is like that at level 1) during this period; so the physical damage, plus this one, well if it ends up resulting in a very good damage… a pity that we can’t have it permanently, but better that than nothing I suppose.
HOW TO GET IT
We will obtain the Dragon Halberd as a reward for defeating the Draconian Soldier , a boss that we can find something hidden in an area that is already somewhat hidden: The Siofra River.
In the link above you have the exact location of the boss already explained and also a guide to defeat him, it is a quite complicated boss, but I discovered a method to make it fall super easily and if it is giving you problems or if you have not done it directly, you I recommend that you pass; that besides his weapon is quite worth it as you have already seen.
