The Guardian's Swordspear is a Halberd in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Mid game. It is found around Caelid, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.

Why Players Pick It

Highest max-standard physical in the class at 340 per, and the clearest Dex payoff in any of these four classes: A Dex at max Keen with stating outright that a +25 Keen Swordspear beats a +25 Quality one at 99/99. Its light attacks are upward slashes finishing in a horizontal slice, unlike the default halberd set. 2% drop from Erdtree Guardians near Minor Erdtrees.

Upgrades

Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at E and Dex at C, so Dex is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 17 and Dex 16 before you can lift it. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling.

Notes

Weapon comprising a long handle and broad blade sharpened from the hard wood of old trees. Wielded by guardians of the Minor Erdtrees, known as experts in the arts of combat. The power of this weapon scales greatly with dexterity.
