HALBERD
Weight: ~7 kg
Rank(s): 1st and 2nd row
- By far the oldest and most often used polearm, the halberd consists of a cleaverlike axe blade mounted on a staff averaging six feet in length. The axe blade is balanced at the rear with a fluke, and surmounted by a sharp spike, usually of quadrangular design. The fluke is sometimes replaced by a hook used to dismount cavalry.
- A halberd can be best described as a cross between a spear and an axe.
- Though a halberd's main function is to dismount cavalry, it may also be employed as a thrusting weapon and a cutting weapon. It is not a fast weapon, even compared to other polearms.
Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:
