Crystal halberd is an item topic that Gnomonkey covers in 2 videos between 2021-01-29 and 2025-05-07. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Contents

Methods

  • Gnomonkey tries to end each phase with a Crystal halberd spec, then puts on the Ring of suffering and goes back to work.1

Stats and numbers

  • The Crystal halberd special attack is the highest possible damage of any single spec but can be inaccurate compared to Dragon claws, and is very slow at seven ticks.2
  • You cannot main-hand the Crystal halberd because it has a seven-tick attack speed, and anything other than the Noxious halberd is not good for melee here.3

Tips

  • Halberd specs are typically used right before a boss transitions to an invulnerability phase or when it would outright kill the boss, so that the seven-tick cooldown is avoided completely.2
  • If you do not have a Crystal halberd, use a Dragon halberd, which Zulrah drops, but he recommends buying a Crystal halberd before doing Zulrah if possible.4

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey calls the Crystal halberd the new best spec weapon at Zulrah, with potential to hit up to 100 total across its two hits (50/50) and no tick loss if used right as she goes underwater.5
