The Partisan is a Spear in Elden Ring. It carries the highest physical attack of any spear in the game.

When to Use It

Early game. It is found around Limgrave, in the opening stretch of a run, so it is one of the first real upgrades you can carry.

Why Players Pick It

Highest max-standard physical attack rating (AR) in the class at 301 and highest base physical at 123; one of only three spears with a slashing R2; infusible and buffable on ordinary Smithing Stones. 4% drop from Godrick Knights at Gatefront Ruins, so it is reachable in the first hour of a run.

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 15 and Dex 12 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

Spear with a wide tip. In addition to its thrusting attacks, this highly versatile weapon can be swung to sweep through foes.

How to Get Partisan Guide

4% chance to be dropped from Knight enemies that wield it, such as the Godrick Knight in the Gatefront Ruins in Limgrave, or the two Leyndell Knight near the Ninth Mt.
Gelmir Campsite grace in [[Mt.
Gelmir]].
