Unlike many other secondary hand special attacks, this one does not continuously consume stamina or have a smoothly looping attack animation it is a simple thrust and toss tactic that is as quick and efficient as the rest of a Spear's moveset.

When the attack input is pressed, Eivor will lunge forward and stick the head of the Spear into a target's torso (if one is within reach) and will pause for a moment while the prey struggles in pain. Placing a Spear in the secondary hand is a great option for almost any weapon type in the main hand, as the special attack of a Spear gives the player what is essentially a long-range melee grab attack. This maneuver can cover a huge area thanks to a Spear's reach and grants Eivor the capacity to become a deadly whirlwind of wood and steel. One of the best special attacks that can benefit from a Spear in the main hand is that of a secondary hand Dane Axe, which can unleash a continuously spinning strike. Though, unfortunately, the heavy attack combo sees no change in animation or damage from the addition of any secondary hand weapon.
The best choice for this tactic would be to pair a Spear with a Great Sword or a Dane Axe. The secondary hand weapon will almost always be shorter than the main hand Spear (unless it is another Spear, but more on that later), so players should equip another long weapon in order for the final hit of the light combo's chain can land that juicy double-hit with both weapons easier.
During the 4th strike of this chain, the horizontal sweep, the offhand weapon gains an attack animation as well, which makes this final blow more like 2 hits instead of 1, meaning that the light attack combo now has a max hit potential of 5 strikes. With the inclusion of a secondary hand weapon, a Spear's moveset does not change nearly as much like many other weapons, though its light attack combo still benefits.
