The Banished Knight's Halberd is a Halberd in Elden Ring. It is found early on, in Stormveil Castle.

The Banished Knight's Halberd is a finely crafted halberd engraved with an ancient motif, given to knights who were forced to abandon their homes and start anew on the fringes. Banished Knights drop it at a low rate, one near the Rampart Tower in Stormveil Castle, and Edgar the Revenger drops a copy at +8 carrying Spinning Strikes when he is defeated at Castle Morne or the Revenger's Shack. Its light attacks are thrusting pokes like the standard Halberd's, mixed with wide halberd sweeps. It scales evenly with Strength and Dexterity, accepts Ashes of War and comes with Charge Forth. It suits a melee character who likes to fight from a safe distance.

Skill

Charge Forth costs 16 FP. The wielder lowers the weapon to the hip and charges forward, carrying the momentum into a powerful piercing thrust. Holding the button extends the charge to cover more ground before the thrust lands. Only the final thrust can be parried, and the long reach makes it a fast way to close distance on a distant target. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Quickly charge forward with the armament at the hip, carrying the momentum into a thrust. Hold to cover a greater distance."

Suggested Build

A reach-focused quality halberd: poke from range with thrusting light attacks and sweep groups with heavy attacks.

Stats	Strength about 55 and Dexterity about 45, Vigor 50, Mind about 30, Endurance about 25
Affinity	Heavy for a Strength build, or Quality for an even Strength and Dexterity spread.
Ash of War	Charge Forth, its default thrusting charge, or Spinning Strikes, which comes on Edgar's copy.
Talismans	Shard of Alexander, Spear Talisman, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia

Notes

"A finely-crafted halberd intricately engraved with an ancient motif. Given to knights who, whether by misfortune or misdeed, were forced to abandon their homes. Most of these knights were sent to the fringes, where they were forced to start anew with only despair for company."
