[[File:Sweep.gif|right|frame|The [[Dragon halberd]]'s special attack hitting twice on a [[moss giant]].]]
'''Halberds''' (colloquially '''hallys''') are long two-handed weapons with blades similar to [[axe]]s and handles made up of long poles. While halberds are among the slowest weapons, halberds can hit opponents two squares away, as opposed to the one square away most melee weapons can hit. A player may only wield a dragon halberd once they have completed the [[Regicide]] quest. The other halberds can be worn anytime, so long as you have the right attack level (and with some the right strength level) to wield them. Most halberds may be bought from the [[Quartermaster]] at the [[Tyras Camp]] in [[Isafdar]], while the [[White halberd]] can only be bought from [[Sir Vyvin]] in [[Falador]], or bought from other players.

Halberds can be used in "[[safe spot]]s", or locations where a player can hit a monster and not get hit back, for example across a gate or fence. This is common [[Combat|strategy]] used for cost effective melee training, because if done correctly it requires no food for [[life points|healing]].

If you are planning on killing monsters where there are no rocks or obstacles, it would be a good idea to get a reasonable defence level before hand as the halberd is the one of the slowest weapons and your enemy would have more time to hit more damage. One good safe spot is in the Tzhaar city near the gold and silver ore area.

==Trivia== 
* Despite being called halberds, these lack the defining top spike and back hook of real-life halberds, and are thus more similar to the [[wikipedia:bardiche|bardiche]] or [[wikipedia:Lochaber axe|Lochaber Axe]].
