The Pike is a Spear in Elden Ring. It is an early find in Stormveil Castle.

The Pike is a longspear with an especially lengthy handle, boasting the longest reach of any melee weapon, which makes it useful against mounted foes but awkward in cramped spaces. It lies on a corpse in the courtyard full of Exile Soldiers and flamethrower operators in Stormveil Castle, near the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace. Its light attacks are long forward stabs, its strong attack is a unique upward thrust, and it easily knocks riders off their mounts. Its modest requirements make it an early option for every class, spellcasters included, and it suits fighting from range in open areas or on horseback.

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

Fights from the edge of its reach, poking enemies before they can close in, and is especially strong on horseback.

Stats	Strength and Dexterity raised together toward 60 for a Quality affinity, or Dexterity 60 then 80 with Keen; Vigor 40 then 60, Endurance 20 to 30
Affinity	Quality for even Strength and Dexterity scaling, or Keen for Dexterity with higher base damage.
Ash of War	Impaling Thrust, Repeating Thrust or Piercing Fang for long-range damage that also beats shields, or Spinning Slash against groups.
Talismans	Lance Talisman, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Spear Talisman

Notes

"A longspear featuring an especially lengthy handle. Specialized for use from long distances, it boasts the longest reach of any melee weapon. Incredibly useful even against foes on horseback, but hard to wield in cramped spaces."
