The Swift Spear is a Spear in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

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

Why Players Pick It

Lightest weapon in the class at 3.0 and, per, the only spear with a unique quick moveset not shared by any other. Reaches S Dex scaling at max Keen. Caveat from the same page: Patch 1.14 made it slower to cancel out of one-handed normal attacks. On the road southeast from Castle Front in Gravesite Plain.

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 Dex at D, so Dex is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 10 and Dex 26 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

A metal-bodied spear of extremely lightweight make, being the result of a sophisticated molding technique. Capable of swift consecutive attacks.
