Loretta's War Sickle is a Halberd in Elden Ring. It is a late-game find in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.

Loretta's War Sickle is an intricately crafted silver war sickle wielded by Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree, first granted for service as a personal guard to Carian royalty, its blue glintstone since replaced with unalloyed gold. It is dropped by Loretta when she is defeated in Miquella's Haligtree. It deals physical and magic damage, scales evenly with Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence, and shares the fast diagonal upward slashes of the Guardian's Swordspear with more reach. Its skill, Loretta's Slash, imbues the blade with magic, leaps into the air and unleashes a wide sweeping slash, the same animation as the Winged Scythe's skill. It suits a quality character with some Intelligence and works well on horseback.

Skill

Loretta's Slash costs 14 FP. The wielder leaps forward with the blade glowing with glintstone, slashing on the way up, then descends in an accelerating sweeping slash. Both slashes add magic damage to the weapon's physical damage. The animation matches Angel's Wings, with magic damage in place of holy.

"Skill of Loretta the Royal Knight. Leap forward, imbuing the blade with glintstone, then descend, accelerating into a sweeping slash."
