Halberd is a Polearm Weapon in Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake. Polearms are capable of mowing down multiple targets with a single blow but require high Strength and Dexterity in order to be used. The Polearm is effective from mid to long-range and can execute sweeping and thrusting attacks.
A standard pole weapon. It's nature is similar to that of an axe but with higher versatility. Pole weapons can mow down many targets in a single blow but are difficult to handle and require both strength and dexterity to use.

AnonymousShould I use a Blessed Halberd or the Blessed Mirdan Hammer for my Strength/Faith build?

Blessed upgrade is amazing in this weapon. It is hard to get the materials, but totally worth it.

Is it worth using this all the way? Upgrading to +5 crushing for STR build.

Fixed all the upgrade paths saying 'Halverd', you're welcome. ~Razruer

This is definitely the best starting weapon (omitting catalysts and talismans), upgrade for a Mirdan Hammer in 2-1 or 5-2 and you are set for the game
- Anonymous
Also theres a bunch of typos that spell the weapon as Halverd instead of Halberd

The best move set in all the souls games. I hate that they changed it from Dark Souls 1 and onwards.
Every souls game we get this unapologetically string bad azz so early and it can always face roll the whole game, never understood.
