Characteristics[]
The Winged Knight Halberd is a Strength-oriented halberd whose moveset is composed entirely of wide swinging attacks. It requires copious amounts of Strength in order to wield effectively, and scales primarily with that stat. Its high base damage makes it particularly strong with non-scaling infusions, but it works best when infused with a Heavy Gem.
Like all other halberds, it deals the most damage when it hits enemies with the blade rather than the shaft. However, it also lacks the thrust attacks that the standard Halberd possesses, limiting its effectiveness against enemies weak to Thrust damage and in combat in narrow corridors.
