Dark Souls III eGuide (Steam) Equipment Melee Weapons

Pikes

Spears taken to the extreme, Pikes have the greatest reach in the game, with suitably increased attribute requirements and weight.

All three have the Charge skill, and all three can be used to poke and stab your enemies from long range. If you really enjoy the keepaway style of play that Spears promote, give Pikes a try once you have the attributes to use them effectively.

This weapon is primarily used in charging attacks, and would require tremendous strength and dexterity to be handled by a mere foot soldier.

Skill: Charge

Hold lance at waist and charge at foe. Use strong attack while charging to extend the length of the charge.
