{{flavour|A polearm consisting of an axe blade topped with a spike, mounted on a long shaft.

"And Diarmid oh, Diarmid he perished in the strife; 
His head it was spiked upon a halberd high; 
His colours they were trampled: he had no chance at life 
If the Lord God Himself stood by!- 
Och ochone!" 
-James Clarence Mangan, _A Farewell to Patrick Sarsfield, Earl of Lucan_, ca. 1840}}

{{crawlquote|This weapon falls into the [[Polearms]] category. It is a two handed weapon.}}

The '''halberd''' is a two-handed polearm, the weakest but fastest of the bunch. It's a pretty decent weapon for both damage and speed when you haven't found a [[shield]], but you should upgrade to a one-hander or [[glaive]] once you have trained some more skill.

As a chopping weapon, it'll cut off [[hydra]] heads. It is also too large for [[kobold]]s and [[spriggan]]s to use at all.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.29]], [[scythe]]s had their own base type instead of being based off halberds.
*Prior to [[0.10]], these lacked innate [[reaching]] and had a higher base delay.
