Polearm and Shield Specialization
When wielding a Polearm and Shield, you can equip one additional skill, but the Greatsword has one skill slot disabled.
Momentum Shift
Allows up to 2 dodges while raising the shield during Charged Dash (consumes Dodge Energy). Each dodge executed during this time increases the charge level of Charged Dash by 1.
Shield Wall Slam
Dodging forward while raising the shield during Charged Dash grants Super Armor, increases the dash distance, and deals damage, while also executing enemies affected by Wither.
Rising Morale
Casting a Polearm and Shield skill (when the skill's key effect is triggered) increases the charge level of Charged Dash by 1 for a short duration.
