The Lucerne is a Halberd in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find in Liurnia of the Lakes.

The Lucerne is a polearm with a hard, sharpened, beak-like spike on its head designed to pierce armor, and though built mainly for thrusting, its long handle can sweep sideways around an enemy's guard. It lies among broken carts on an old battlefield north of the Liurnia Highway North Site of Grace in Liurnia of the Lakes, where phantoms and knights clash. Every one of its attacks deals pierce damage, and it shares a slam-down heavy attack with the Nightrider Glaive. It is light at 7 weight, leans on Dexterity, and deals more damage on horseback than most halberds thanks to its high mounted motion values. It suits a Dexterity character who fights from range, on foot or mounted.

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 light Dexterity halberd that stays at the edge of its reach with piercing pokes, and doubles as a strong mounted weapon.

Stats	Dexterity to 60, then 80, Vigor 50, Endurance about 24, Mind about 20, Strength 15 at its requirement
Affinity	Keen to push its Dexterity scaling.
Ash of War	Charge Forth, its default thrusting charge, which keeps all of its damage piercing.
Talismans	Spear Talisman, Shard of Alexander, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia

Notes

"This polearm features a hard, sharpened beak-like spike attached to its head, designed to pierce armor. Though designed mainly as a thrusting weapon, its long handle can be utilized to get around an enemy's guard with a sideward sweeping attack."
