Spear is the Spearman branch's thrusting counterpart to the swinging polearm: a 2-handed long weapon used for straight-line stabbing attacks. Like polearms, spears are always 2-handed (no 1-handed variant), scale damage with STR, and unlock Spearman-specific skills that require the wielded weapon to be a spear or polearm.

The defining difference between spear and polearm is the attack animation and the corresponding skill set: spears thrust forward, while polearms swing in an arc. Some Spearman skills come in matched spear and polearm forms: the Booster, Final Attack, and Mastery skills each key off the equipped weapon. Both weapons share the same Spearman stat scaling.

What a spear does

• Straight-line melee. Spear attacks thrust forward from the character, reaching enemies directly ahead.
• Scales damage on STR. Same warrior damage formula as the other warrior weapons.
• Spearman weapon skills. The spear Booster, Final Attack, and Mastery skills require a spear or polearm to be equipped; other weapon types cannot benefit from them.
• Slow attack speed. Spears sit on the slow end of the speed scale, paired with their higher base attack.

Used by

All three warrior sub-jobs can equip spears, but only the Spearman branch's Spear Mastery skill applies the per-type mastery bonus. A Warrior who wields spears without taking Spearman at second job foregoes both the mastery damage-range tightening and the spear-specific active skills.

Spear vs polearm

Mechanically the two weapons are nearly interchangeable. The decision is mostly aesthetic, plus a small skill-by-skill numerical drift between the spear and polearm variants of each Spearman active that experienced players sometimes account for. For most players, the right choice is whichever weapon has the better specific example available at their current level.
