==[[Polearms]]==
Polearms are two-handed [[Melee Weapons|weapons]] which have an attack range of 1-2 tiles, making it possible to attack from behind the front-line. Attacking adjacent enemies has -15% chance to hit.
Polearms can be divided into 2 types, depending on the type of damage they inflict: piercing or cutting. Impale and Rupture skill deal piercing damage (skeletons, [[Alp]]s and [[Ifrit]]s are somewhat resistant to it). Strike and Reap deal cutting damage and, thus, possess decapitate properties (useful in fights vs [[Necromancer]]s and during the Undead Scourge crisis).
[[Pollaxe]] has a range of 1, despite being a polearm. It can deal all three damage types: blunt with Smite, piercing with Assault and cutting with Assault second attack on staggered targets.
[[Perks#Tier_4|Polearm Mastery]] perk gives these bonuses:
* The AP cost of all skills is reduced from 6 to 5.
* Polearms no longer have hit chance penalty for hitting targets directly adjacent.
* Polearm skills require 25% less[[File:Fatigue.png|25px|bottom|Fatigue]].
