I love doing critical hits with spears and halberds.
That's it, that's the whole post. I don't care if I would do more damage by switching to a dagger, I want to see two feet of wood and steel sticking out of my opponents chest.

Honestly, being impaled by an entire halberd would be more damaging than a small knife.
gets back up "I didn't hear no bell!"
That did always bother me a little bit, that daggers often had super high critical modifiers and damn near nothing else does. What hurts more, a knife in the kidneys, or an 80 pound slab of cast iron slamming your spine in half?
Right? An entire halberd head going through your torso has got to do some serious damage.
I absolutely adore the variety of weapon styles and animations in this series. It is incredibly satisfying to see the unique animations, one-handed, two-handed, or dual-wielding!
I was just playing Elden Ring, and if you critical with a halberd on an enemy shorter than your character (like the Vulgar Militia) then you shish-kebab the bastard into the ground with your polearm. Highly recommend.
colossal swords similarly just fuckin demolish the smaller opponents. It's funny.
Works with swords as well, or at least with new light greatswords from the DLC
I see your halberd and I raise you ds1 scythe backstab
