The Dragon Halberd is a Halberd in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find in the Siofra River.

The Dragon Halberd is shaped like a dragon and wreathed in ice and lightning, the weapon of the Dragonkin Soldiers who never attained immortality and perished as pale imitations of their skyborn kin. It is dropped by the Dragonkin Soldier in lower Siofra River, reached through a sending gate atop a fallen pillar south of the Worshippers' Woods Site of Grace. It has thrusting light attacks and wide slashes, one of the highest base damage values among halberds, and extra damage against dragons. Its Spinning Slash ends in a crushing strike and coats the weapon in ice lightning, adding lightning damage and frost buildup for a while. It suits a quality character, since an even Strength and Dexterity spread gives it the best attack rating.

Stats

The Dragon Halberd is a hard-hitting Quality halberd at 135 physical, with bonus damage against dragons and 330 physical when fully upgraded. Spinning Slash adds a lightning and frost buff to the blade, and an even split of Strength and Dexterity gets the most from it, which makes it a natural fit for a quality build.

How to Get Dragon Halberd Guide

Dropped by the Dragonkin Soldier in the lower Siofra River region.
It is reached either by going through a Sending Gate found on top of a crumbled pillar on the eastern side of lower Siofra, just south of the Worshippers' Woods grace.
Alternatively, it may be reached by going all the way across the bridge from the Mimic Tear grace in Nokron, Eternal City and carefully dropping down the ledges on the building.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 17 / 11 FP. The wielder spins the whole body to slash foes in a wide circle, and an additional input adds two more spins. Small weapons spin quickly, while greatswords, spears, halberds and other large weapons use a slower, sweeping version. The skill cannot be parried.

"Skill favored by dexterous warriors. Slash foes as your body spins. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."
