Weapon overview
Duhk Halic
Polearms · Courage · Uncommon
Duhk Halic is an Uncommon Ode'n lance requiring Courage, forged from the corrupted remains of Nimrod's arsenal. With 66 base ATK and 46 stagger, it delivers the highest raw damage among non-Rare polearms in Preludes 15. Farm fragments from Discharged Nimrod (normal and Cogah variants) or standard Nimrod encounters — the lance literally drips with the venomous corruption of its original wielder. Forge 1 fragment at Tuvalkane, making this one of the most fragment-efficient weapons to craft. Purchase from Avakot merchant for 220 Dracs as a backup. The lore describes Duhk Halic as an instrument of corruption so potent that even the Nimrod who wields it suffers from its venomous touch — every wound it inflicts spews ichor. Though Weaver magic has temporarily purged the corruption, the lance retains its menacing power. Pairs exceptionally well with Tethren and Ode-Tempest pact builds that capitalize on high stagger for charged attack windows. The wide sweep attacks hit multiple enemies, making it effective against Sinecure patrol groups and Cogah-infected zones.
Vasp-IV is a Common Ode'n Sinecure halberd (polearm) requiring 13 Courage, serving as the workhorse Courage polearm for early-to-mid game Tethren builds. With 65 base ATK and 46 stagger, it delivers exceptional damage for a Common-tier weapon — matching Uncommon polearms in raw output. Farm fragments from a wide enemy drop table: Gruulseeker Selvins (the named farm target) and Bisulcam are primary sources on Sinecure patrol lines. Additional fragment sources include Fore-Feller Hewyl (normal and Cogah), Gruul Seeker Sontaro (normal and Cogah), Nimrod, Ode'n Bisulcam, Sinecure Officer, and Sinecure-errant Gawth (normal and Cogah). Container drops from Polearm Racks. Forge 1 fragment at Tuvalkane — the lowest fragment requirement of any weapon, making Vasp-IV extremely accessible. Purchase from Avakot for 150 Dracs. Vasp-IV shares identical enemy drop tables with Sollos-I (broadsword) and Rivt-II (splitsword), enabling efficient multi-weapon farming on Sinecure routes. The lore describes it as a deadly Ode'n Halberd lost to the Sinecure ranks — the blade is slightly rusted from humid Alcan air, yet no less sharp nor acutely balanced than the night of its extraction from Ode'n mould. Effective for budget Courage builds and early Halberd skill progression before upgrading to Duhk Halic (66 ATK) or Rook (65 ATK, Spirit).
