*When infused: 161 physical dmg/161 elemental dmg and B scaling with chosen element. Dex scaling changes to A.
Partizan is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
A spear with a broad blade. The blade is widened and given extra weight to allow for slashing.
The broader attacks of the partizan, however, make it less effective in narrow spaces.
Acquired From
- Sold by Weaponsmith Ornifex for 3000 souls.
- A +6 version is found on a corpse in Brume Tower at the bottom of the collapsing floors area, with a Smelter Knight at the end.
Hints and Tips:
- A quick forward roll into R2 combo is a great way to close a gap; use this against casters or unguarded foes at a distance..
- Highly recommended to use it with a Stone Ring so you can stun most people on first R1.

The higher the player's [Str, Dex, Mag, Fire, Light] stat, the higher the [Attack Bonus: Stat] is (found on the player status screen). The higher the scaling letter, the higher the percent multiplier applied to the [Attack: Stat].
This resulting bonus damage is added to the base physical damage of the weapon and is shown in the equipment screen in blue numbers as a "+ X".
Durability: The weapon's HP, when the durability hits 0, the effectiveness of its attacks become weakened to the point of almost uselessness. When an items durability is low, a message will come up saying "Weapon At Risk!" at this point the weapon does not perform at it's best.
Weight: How much the item weights when equipped.
Stability: How well the player keeps stance after being hit
Attack Type: Defines what kind of swing set the weapon has.

Hits like a freight train. Amazing moveset. Longer than the Suez canal. Makes me disappointed in the partizan in the other games even though it's still a good weapon in DS3 and Elden Ring.

This is the only weapon in the game that deals strike damage and has S rank dex scaling. It has fantastic range and because of its sweeping attacks, it doesn’t suffer as much against groups of enemies as other spears do. This is a really good weapon if you rush it, but it takes some time to get it.

The partizan is great in both the first and second games (never played the third), mostly because of its versatile moveset. R1 to thrust and R2 to sweep, and its the same if you're one-handing or two-handing. Also, the secondary hit from an R2 R2 combo is deceptively quick.

Frustratingly difficult to get this weapon. I loved it in DS3 and it was available so early in that game. Here it's roadblock after roadblock. I fought my way through Shaded Woods and then the Ruins and used a branch on the Lion dude for the Fang key, finally made it to Ornifex only to find she won't sell me anything until Brightstone Cove, which I can't get to apparently until I kill the Rat Patrol, which is thus far the hardest boss in the game for my dex build. I'm sure I'll kill the *****er eventually and get my gd weapon, but for now I just needed to vent.

The damage of secondary attack (RT) is insane against armored and stone mobs, about twice more than thrust due to strike dmg type. At 50 dex its AR is 4 only points less than winged spear (both at +10). On Winged only rolling attack allows strike move but its not as powerful as sweeping RT of Partizan.

Much better for a dark infusion than the Silverback Spear. Plus, you get A scaling in dexterity.

how good is this s scaling? is the transition to A when infusing a great cost ?
I knew the Partizan Enjoyers swear by this weapon, so i figured I'd give it a try, and I was not disappointed.
