{{Navbox Melee Weapons}} ==[[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]]. {| class="article-table" style="font-size:85%;" ! colspan="5" style="font-size:larger; text-align:center;" |Skills |- ! style="text-align:center;" |'''''Icon''''' ! style="text-align:center;" |'''''Name''''' ! style="text-align:center;" |'''''AP''''' ! style="text-align:center;" |'''''Fatigue''''' ! style="text-align:left;" |  '''''Description''''' |- {{:Impale (15 fatigue)}} |- {{:Repel (25 fatigue)}} |- {{:Strike (15 fatigue)}} |- {{:Hook (25 fatigue)}} |- {{:Rupture (12 fatigue)}} |- {{:Reap (30 fatigue)}} |- {{:Assault (15 fatigue)}} |- {{:Smite (15 fatigue)}} |- {{:Split Shield (20 fatigue)}} |} {| class="article-table sortable" style="text-align:center;" width="100%" ! style="text-align:center;" class="unsortable" |Name ! style="text-align:center;" |Worth ! style="text-align:center;" |Damage ! style="text-align:center;" |Ignores Armor ! style="text-align:center;" |Vs.
