whats your strat to defeat double spears

[goobyplz]

Personally I use a storm blade greatsword, ring of light halberd or any kind of ranged magic and run away to fight at range proudly. If you're gonna be so cheap as to use double spears, dont cry when I use magic and run. But if anyone has other strats im all ears

Two-handing a GS with over 60 poise and being more aggressive. If they know how to counter the GS then switch to a secondary offensive strat with it. Always practice different ways to use your favorite weapon.

At the end of the day, two-handing a katana and being trickier/spammier also works. Charge R2 to roll catch and running R2 to capitalize on panic. Or, use a shield.

i think the lack of response is indicative of double spears being cheap

If you don't have an additional player there's very little you can do about double spears. Crouch L1 is too strong and has too much range going for it. Add bleed buildup with occult scaling and you can pretty much guarantee a forced stagger every 2 attacks with this. Shield doesn't work because of the bleed procs, no weapon has the range or poise to deal with this problem, you can't poise through it normally.

It's also not a build with any particular weaknesses. You can try crossbow, but he'll just roll through it to poke you again; same goes for spells and incantations.

If I were to think of ashes of war that might help, you'd have to look for those that always fire no matter what your opponent is doing. Storm stomp as well as the stamp ashes of war come to mind. Then see if there's a way to deal with the bleed build up so you can trade a few times. Storm stomp works with dual wielding because the stomp puts the opponent in a stagger allowing you to get a free hit in with both weapons. You can also try barbaric roar (release R2 as you're about to get attacked to gain poise).

in PVP, I always use an Urumi whip no matter the situation. I think it happens to be one of the few weapons that can outrange spears. But it still ain't easy especially vs one of those dual spear users who crouchpoke and wiggle. I just dodge as many of their attacks as as necessary to find the perfect opening to counter attack. Usually 3-4 attacks and they're low on stamina.

i just swap to pikes/nagis myself.

95% of players who spawn into invasions/arena with dual spear are total trash and if youre decent at the game you can outplay the hell out of them with your own set of spears.

The Bloody Helice. I used it to counter BHS before it was nerfed, and it counters dual spears just as easily.

I am, probably, found only one player with two spears during whole this time. It is nothing to worry about)

Curved Great Swords are a great counter. With good spacing you can pretty much keep priority indefinitely. Play aggressive and you will have them panic rolling in no time.

Dual halberds + jump attack talisman go bonking.

Quickstep backstab. Quickstep in general gives thrusting weapons a hard time and if you condition them to keep r1 spamming you just get a free parry unless you have a very bad connection or something.

Extra lag could actually work in favor of whoever's got the better internet, to be clear. While lag is double-sided, one end has more girth

Double spears is easy to defeat. Use a great hammer like the great mace, great axe rusted anchor with spear talisman,great sword ultra great sword,star fist or any axe or regular hammer with barbaric roar,great swords.
