Characteristics[]
The Lothric Knight Long Spear combines long reach with powerful Dexterity scaling. Like other pikes, its moveset is composed primarily of thrusting attacks to take advantage of its reach.
This weapon's main distinguishing characteristic is that when wielded, it reduces incoming Poise damage by 15%. This makes it a popular off-hand weapon for complementing weapons that utilize Hyper Armor, as it can be worn on the back for the passive Poise bonus or used for quick thrusts against targets that the primary weapon cannot easily reach. As well, it innately increases the effectiveness of this weapon's skill, making it significantly harder to interrupt.
