# Spears
Spears excel at maintaining distance and a strong defense. Their thrusts have enough range to hit enemies before they can retaliate and can be performed safely behind a raised shield. Though predictable and less effective against nimble or shielded opponents, Spears provide a cautious, methodical approach to combat. They are ideal for players who prefer poking enemies from a safe distance and slowly wearing them down. While Spears don’t boast remarkable damage or scaling, their safe moveset can be appealing in both PvE and PvP for defensive strategies.
# Channeler's Trident

### General Information
---
The two-handed strong attack dance can be performed with a broken weapon, but the buff will not work.
Strength is the only minimum stat that must be met to use the buff (11 STR required to two-hand). A character with less than 11 strength will instead perform the "weak" animation when attempting to use the buff.
The dance must be finished for the buff to take effect (signified by an aura spreading out).
A good spot to farm Channelers for this weapon is the second bonfire in The Duke's Archives (called "The Duke's Archives" in the Warp menu) after the path to the Crystal Cave has been opened. From the bonfire, head right to the new passage and climb up the ladder. Near the rotary stairs are two of them.

- W is Physical Damage
- X is Magical Damage
- Y is Fire Damage
- Z is Lightning Damage
Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:
- Normal
- Striking
- Slashing
- Thrusting
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types.
|
**Critical:** | One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes. |
**Durability:** | The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
**Weight:** | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |

- W is the Strength required
- X is the Dexterity required

Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.
Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required.
For example, a character with 18 Strength can wield a Large Club (Requires 26 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands.
(18 x 1.5 = 27)
