AC Valhalla: The 13 BEST Spears To Get

AC Valhalla gives the players a choice to equip the spears of their choice, and it doesn’t fall behind in variety. Thus, players planning to mainly use a spear like a Spartan (even though they are Vikings) should learn about some of the best in-game spears they can use against enemies.

Best Spears In AC Valhalla

Here’s a quick glimpse of all the best spears in AC Valhalla, along with their stats and Rarity:

13. Carolingian Pike

The Carolingian Pike is at the bottom of the best spears tier list in AC Valhalla because players can only purchase this spear now from the in-game store using helix credits. Now, it is up to you whether you will buy it or not.

• The Carolingian Pike has a Weight Load of 13 in the Wolf class.
• For the perk, the Pike will temporarily increase your Ability Damage after you have dodged an enemy’s attack.

12. Fyrd Spear

While the Fyrd Spear doesn’t come anywhere close to all the other spears mentioned later on, the only reason it’s mentioned here is that it is a considerably good spear for the mid-game. In order words, it’s the best spear for you during the midgame when all the legendary spears are still unattainable.

• To top it all off, the Fyrd Spear offers a perk that increases the main character’s speed by +10.2 for 2.5 seconds when dodging.
• If you don’t wish to main the Fyrd Spear, it may be a good idea to offhand it so you can take advantage of its perk.
• The Fyrd Spear is attainable after looting a chest in Offchurch’s Crypt, Ledecestrescire.

11. Cadfarch Spear

The Cadfarch Spear in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a ceremonial spear that was used against the Norse army that invaded Wales. Players can obtain this spear by completing the late-game main quest, “Bloody Path to Peace.”

10. Areadbhair

Just like the Bannerman’s Spear, the Areadbhair can also be purchased from Reda’s Shop, and you can also purchase it from the in-game store using helix credits. However, I wouldn’t recommend purchasing it from Helix credits; you should save those credits for items that matter.

• For the perk, it will increase the speed of Eivor after every hit (it can be stacked up to 10 times in AC Valhalla.)

9. Byzantine Spear

Players can acquire the Byzantine Spear in the Wrath of the Druids DLC at Azar’s Trading Store. It is only available once Dublin has reached Reputation Rank 4.

• The Byzantine Spear is one of the lightest spears on this list, so if you wish to keep a lightweight build, it is the ideal spear to use in AC Valhalla.
• You can only take advantage of the weapon’s perk if you have a lightweight build, as it will increase your critical chances based on how light you are.

8. Fafnir Fang

The Fafnir Spear is a little difficult to obtain in the Assassin Creed Valhalla’s early game, as players must defeat Eric Loyalskull in Rygajfylke, Norway. It is a pretty great spear to have in the early game, provided that the players can beat the boss in the early game.

• The spear’s perk will increase your Critical Chances by +3.3,+6.7, and +10% if you are surrounded by 3,4 or 5+ enemies (respectively.)

7. Lugh Spear

According to the descriptions, the Lugh Spear is a legendary spear that was supposedly owned by the Isu Lugh, who would later be remembered as the Irish God of Craftmanship. It fits all the bills for being considered one of the best spears in AC Valhalla, thanks to its perks that allow the weapon to go ablaze after stunning an enemy.

• However, obtaining this weapon can be a bit of a hassle as it can’t be obtained in the early game, and players will need to defeat a boss that is available in the Spear Of Lugh questline.

I recommend pairing the Lugh Spear with another fire-based weapon to deal massive damage.

6. Anentak’s Spear

The Anentaks Spear in AC Valhalla originated from Vinland, and players can purchase it from the Merchant in Vinland.

• If I talk about its perk, this weapon will increase your Heavy Damage by +20 for 2.5 seconds once you have dodged an enemy’s attack.

5. Svipul

While the Svipul can indeed be considered one of the best spears in AC Valhalla, unfortunately, the only way to actually acquire this spear is by purchasing it with Helix Credits. The entire Valkyrie Pack costs about 2000 Helix Credits, so that’s about 20$.

• Regarding Svipul’s perk, the weapon will increase Eivor’s back damage at low health.

4. Striking Bolt

Focusing on its maxed-out stats, the Striking Bolt exists in the Wolf class and offers a 163.7 attack power.

• While the Striking Bolt’s stats are much higher than the Lugh Spear, the Bolt’s perk is pretty disappointing compared to the latter.
• The perk of the Striking Bolt spear increases your chance of getting critical strikes in combat.
• However, your chances of getting critical strikes decrease the longer you stay in combat, encouraging players to end battles as quickly as possible.

Players can either purchase this weapon in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla with Helix Credits or be patient until the child salesman has it for sale in his inventory. While it’s worth recognizing the weapon’s outstanding stats, its perk and method to obtain it greatly hold it down and don’t let it shine as it deserves.

3. Gae Bolg

The Gae Bolg used to be the personal weapon of the Irish Mythological Hero Cu Chulainn until Eivor came along. This spear can not only be considered the most overpowered spear but also one of the best weapons in AC Valhalla overall.

• These stats are further boosted by the high 145.2 Critical Chance while having only a 9.2 weight.
• Aside from offering massive damage, the Gae Bolg has one of the most overpowered perks in-game that shocks your enemies with lightning after three consecutive hits from the spear.
• It also stuns your opponent temporarily, allowing you to do massive damage easily.

The Gae Bolg can be obtained at the end of the Wraths Of The Druids DLC.

2. Gungnir

If I talk about the Gungir’s overpowered stats, it offers 168.7 attack damage and 52 speed. Furthermore, its 200.7 stun damage is nothing to scoff at, and the weapon doesn’t fall behind in critical strikes either, as it offers 146.7 critical chances, all while having 12.2 weight.

• Aside from offering devastation stun damage, the Gungir doesn’t fall behind in any stat.
• The spear’s reach is extended through the aid of a force field, thus granting it the title of a weapon that has never missed its mark.
• Players can obtain the Gungnir in AC Valhalla while exploring the depths of the Goinnhellir.

1. The Spear Of Leonidas

The Spear of Leonidas is easily the best spear in AC Valhalla, with some of the highest stats in-game once it’s fully upgraded.

• Aside from the upgraded stats, the Spear of Leonidas’s perk is one of the best in AC Valhalla, as it increases your weapon’s overall attack, melee damage, ranged damage, and ability damage.
• Furthermore, this perk stays active if you have at least one adrenaline bar filled, so players can utilize it for an extended period.
• To get the Spear of Leonidas, players just need to loot the chests in the camp at Dun Ardtreck.

That wraps up my guide on the best spears in AC Valhalla and how to obtain them. Spears are some of the best weapon types in-game, and many fans have already agreed that dual-wielding spears might be one of the deadliest combinations in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, as suggested by the following Subreddit Post.

In case you were wondering about which are the best weapons in AC Valhalla overall, then there’s a guide for them as well.
