Since the Spear was added in the Mounts of Mayhem drop, it changed how we use speed and distance in combat. I propose a new heavy polearm called the Halberd, which upgrades the spear into a premier tactical weapon for crowd control and player-versus-player (PvP) fights, featuring a base attack reach of 2 blocks.
Crafting Concept:
Crafted by combining 1 Spear, 1 Axe, 1 Hoe, and 2 Sticks. This recipe perfectly reflects the real-world design of a halberd, which combines a spearhead, an axe blade, and a hook (represented by the hoe).
Crafted by combining 1 Spear, 1 Axe, 1 Hoe, and 2 Sticks. This recipe perfectly reflects the real-world design of a halberd, which combines a spearhead, an axe blade, and a hook (represented by the hoe).
Unique Mechanics & Functionality:
- The Pull Mechanic: Using the hook side of the blade (the hoe part), players can pull enemies or other players closer to them.
- The Dismount Mechanic: Hitting a rider (a player or mob on a horse, boat, minecart, or strider) with a Halberd will immediately pull them off their mount or out of their vehicle.
- Attack Style: It retains the long-reach advantage of the spear but replaces the speed-based charge with slower, heavy sweeping attacks that hit multiple targets.
Exclusive & Mutually Exclusive Enchantments:
- Outreach (I - III): Increases the weapon's reach even further (+0.5 blocks per level), but significantly reduces the attack speed/cooldown recovery. Perfect for defensive players.
- Flurry (I - III): Increases the attack speed considerably, but reduces the weapon's attack reach. Great for fast-paced aggressive combat.
(Note: Outreach and Flurry cannot be combined on the same Halberd).
