Halberds (colloquially hallys) are long two-handed slashing weapons with blades similar to axes 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. This makes them capable of utilising safe spots. The area of effect abilities hurricane, quake and meteor strike also gain additional range when using halberds.
In addition to requiring a certain Attack level, some halberds have quest requirements as follows:
- White halberd - Wanted!
- Dragon halberd - Regicide
- Crystal halberd - Roving Elves
- Attuned crystal halberd - Plague's End
All metal halberds up to dragon may be bought from the Quartermaster at the Tyras Camp in Isafdar, except for the white halberd which can be bought from Sir Vyvin in Falador. It is not possible to make standard bronze to rune halberds using the Smithing skill; however, crystal and attuned crystal halberds can be made from harmonic dust after the completion of Plague's End.
Whilst not actually called halberds, the noxious scythe, Ivandis flail, Thalassia's revenge, Dragon Rider lance and Masuta's warspear have the same attack range as halberds and can be considered as such.

Trivia[]
- Despite being called halberds, some of them lack the defining top spike and back hook of real-life halberds, and are thus more similar to the bardiche or Lochaber axe.
