Weapons That Use Polearms

Leveling & Death Penalty

Every Valheim skill ranges from level 0 to 100, and its bonus grows as the level climbs — the +131% damage and knockback, -33% stamina usage above is the full value you reach at level 100. Polearms earns experience at 1.5 per attack when hitting a creature, so it climbs fastest when you use it deliberately.

Dying is the catch: each death drains roughly 5% of your level in every skill, Polearms included, so a hard-won level erodes quickly on a dangerous run. To claw it back without the grind, run raiseskill Polearms 10 — that adds ten levels at once, and you can pass any amount (or a negative number to lower it). Prefer a clean slate? resetskill Polearms wipes the skill back to 0.
