The current model of Halberd is more like a Poleaxe than a Halberd. Mostly, the shape of halberd’s head is a mixture of 3 blades: Front: An Axe. Back/Rear: A Hook and/or Sickle like balde. Top: A Short, Sword like balde. And most importantly, Halberd’s head is a “one piece”, not sparated like a P…

i would call it a poleaxe (pollaxe) too: [image] Is our "halberd" actually a halberd? Or is it a poleaxe? Fatshark Lounge I can’t figure out how should i call the weapon properly (or as close to the truth as possible) and it bothers me. What our “halberd” is closer to: a …

[image] doom_hamster: Although the ingame weapon length is not common for a pollaxe, its longer than usual pollaxe. True.

The Halberd is not really a Halberd, but rather an impractically oversized Pollaxe. The Glaive has got nothing to do with what a Glaive historically was. The hammers in this game couldn’t be wielded even if you had the physiologically impossible strenght to do so, because you’d need to have the same…

Most halberd illusions look pretty close to real life weapons. And thanks to this game, the pollaxes (or halberds close to a pollaxe) became one of my most favored medieval weapon types, further increasing my interest in HEMA. Its in part thanks to the animations and combos, which does make you fee…

Yeah, I do get your points, and I don’t really disagree fundamentally or anything. It irks me a lot that swordtips are just decoration in this game, for example, and I like how some historically accurate influences can really bring character to a weapon (like with the Brettonian Longsword). I was j…

I stumbled upon this question - why The Grail Knight can’t use the halberd? Q: What other weapons can I use for my Grail Knight? A: The Grail Knight can use all of Markus Krubers melee weapons other than the Halberd and the Tuskgor spear, for they are weapons of the Peasantry and unfit for a gall…

To be fair, you could also say that Markus not being from Bretonia makes him extra pedant to the restrictions as to not dishonour himself. Or that it’s just game design and it’s used for creating bigger diversity between careers. Also who knows what drinking from the Grail actually does to the per…

[image] Reorx: he very well could act exactly like a Bretonian because of that. Nah, we’d hear that sweet and crunchy French accent then :rofl: [image] doom_hamster: An axe on a stick is still a melee weapon, the length of the stick wouldn’t matter to Markus at all. Apparently having …

[image] Reorx: To be fair, you could also say that Markus not being from Bretonia makes him extra pedant to the restrictions as to not dishonour himself. possible, if Kruber is trying to earn respect from bretons, but doubt he’ll mind if he’s in Empire with only the U5 gang around. [image…

Don’t be so salty, I just wanted to point out the “difference”.

And, I think this similarity they made is the reason why there is no “Poleaxe”. + Halberd and Poleaxe is different type of a weapon in the lore.
