The Ripple Crescent Halberd is a Halberd in Elden Ring. It becomes available in the middle of a run.

The Ripple Crescent Halberd is the weapon of young Albinaurics, its blade said to resemble part of a ripple, and its attack power scales with the Arcane attribute alone. Albinaurics carrying it drop it at a low rate, around the ruins east of the Fallen Ruins of the Lake Site of Grace in Liurnia and in larger numbers near the Palace Approach Ledge-Road in Mohgwyn Palace. Its skill is fixed as Spinning Slash, but unlike most Arcane weapons it can still be buffed, and Arcane scaling raises both its damage and the status buildup of Arcane-scaling greases. It has the reach and flexible moveset of a halberd. It suits an Arcane character, especially one built around status greases.

Stats

The Ripple Crescent Halberd is a status platform rather than a damage weapon, with B Arcane at +0 rising to S at max upgrade. It is one of the few Arcane weapons that still accepts greases and buffs, so poison, bleed and sleep buildup all climb with Arcane. Its physical attack is low at 86, which matters little once the statuses start landing.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 6 FP. The wielder spins the whole body to slash foes in a wide circle, and an additional input adds two more spins. Small weapons spin quickly, while greatswords, spears, halberds and other large weapons use a slower, sweeping version. The skill cannot be parried.

"Skill favored by dexterous warriors. Slash foes as your body spins. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."

Suggested Build

An Arcane status weapon: coat it with Drawstring Poison, Blood or Soporific Grease and use its reach to inflict the status in a couple of hits.

Stats	Arcane to 60, then 80, Vigor 50, Endurance about 22, Mind about 20, Strength 12 and Dexterity 12 at requirements
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Lord of Blood's Exultation, Kindred of Rot's Exultation
Pairs With	Drawstring Poison Grease, Drawstring Blood Grease

Notes

"Weapon wielded by young Albinaurics. The blade is said to resemble a partial image of a ripple, and its attack power scales with one's arcane attribute."
