The Partizan is a spear in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- Spear with blade attached to broad point. Long reach, and can be used with shield up. Attacks faster with shield down.
- This weapon can utilize its blade for slicing attacks, and is generally adaptable to many situations, but in cramped quarters, its slices ricochet off walls.
- Skill: Spin Sweep
Sweep foes in a large spinning motion, and utilize momentum to transition into an overhanded strong attack smash.
Availability
Found in the Undead Settlement, on a hanging corpse above the stairs before heading toward the firebomb Peasants.
Characteristics
At first glance, the Partizan seems to be a fairly generic weapon, with its damage and range being unexceptional. However, it has a number of features to make it stand out among spears.
Most notably, its strong attacks are wide sweeps rather than thrusts, making it more effective for crowds or enemies dodging to the side.
Its weapon art is Spin Sweep, an attack normally reserved for halberds. It is able to combo a two-handed strong attack into a full Spin Sweep, dealing high damage.
These features combined with its low stat requirements and ability to be buffed/infused make it a very versatile weapon, not unlike what the Claymore is for greatswords.
