The Messmer Soldier's Spear is a Great Spear in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Shadow of the Erdtree. It is in the expansion, which opens only once Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood are beaten.

Why Players Pick It

The other infusible great spear, and the more accessible one: a 2% drop from Messmer Soldiers near Moorth Ruins rather than a boss reward. 298 physical at max standard, A Str at max Heavy, A Arcane at max Occult. Shares its R2 chain with Treespear.

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 D and Dex at D, so Str and Dex are the stats worth levelling, and you need Str 19 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 used by the soldiers who serve Messmer the Impaler. A greatspear with a steel blade worn from use. Being made for overwhelming onslaughts, attacks with this weapon can be charged to unleash consecutive strikes.
