Since Preludes 14, Joineries enhance a weapon's Virtue attunement, providing 1 to 3 Virtue Attunement pips depending on the Joinery type.

Since Preludes 14, Runes activate on a Heavy Attack. Smiting enemies banks a charge that you can use to trigger the Rune effect at will.

Totems are passive bonuses applied to weapons. They are obtained by charming or rescuing animals in the world.

Rapiers are a weapon type added in Preludes 14 with their own unique moveset. The signature weapons are Navalha and Espadarte.

Soulframe is a free-to-play (F2P) fantasy action RPG developed by Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe. Set on the isle of Midrath, it focuses on deliberate melee combat, somber exploration, and co-op play during the Preludes pre-alpha on PC.

Preludes is Digital Extremes' name for Soulframe's current pre-alpha phase. It's an early, evolving version of the game that players can experience as it's built openly alongside the community.

Duhk Halic

Q: How many weapons are in Soulframe?

Soulframe Hub covers all Soulframe weapons across 9 types, filterable by Virtue attunement. Updated for Preludes 15.

Q: Can I use any weapon with any Pact?

Yes—you can equip any weapon regardless of Pact, but **Virtue attunement** still governs damage scaling. A Pact only gates your three Arcanic skills; mismatched weapons work, yet they feel weaker until you align Virtue Points with the weapon's Courage, Spirit, or Grace lane.

Q: What is Virtue attunement?

Every weapon is attuned to one or more Virtues. Investing Virtue Points into the matching Virtue increases that weapon's damage output.

Q: How many weapons can I equip at once?

You can equip one primary weapon and one sidearm simultaneously.

Q: Can I upgrade weapons?

Yes. Bring weapon fragments and materials to Tuvalkane in the Nightfold to craft and upgrade weapons. Higher-tier recipes require Bond Level 3.

Q: How do I get weapon fragments?

Fragments drop from enemies, quest rewards, and Siege events. Collect enough fragments, then craft the full weapon at Tuvalkane.

Q: Can I mix weapons of different Virtues?

Yes. You can equip any weapon regardless of Virtue, but mismatched attunement will result in lower damage. Experienced players often swap weapons based on enemy resistances.

Uncommon Ode'n lance (Courage) — highest raw damage non-Rare polearm at 66 ATK
Farm 1 fragment from Discharged Nimrod or Nimrod; forge at Tuvalkane — most fragment-efficient weapon
Wide sweep attacks excel against grouped enemies; pairs with Tethren bruiser builds

Duhk Halic is an Uncommon Ode'n lance requiring Courage, forged from the corrupted remains of Nimrod's arsenal. With 66 base ATK and 46 stagger, it delivers the highest raw damage among non-Rare polearms in Preludes 15. Farm fragments from Discharged Nimrod (normal and Cogah variants) or standard Nimrod encounters — the lance literally drips with the venomous corruption of its original wielder. Forge 1 fragment at Tuvalkane, making this one of the most fragment-efficient weapons to craft. Purchase from Avakot merchant for 220 Dracs as a backup. The lore describes Duhk Halic as an instrument of corruption so potent that even the Nimrod who wields it suffers from its venomous touch — every wound it inflicts spews ichor. Though Weaver magic has temporarily purged the corruption, the lance retains its menacing power. Pairs exceptionally well with Tethren and Ode-Tempest pact builds that capitalize on high stagger for charged attack windows. The wide sweep attacks hit multiple enemies, making it effective against Sinecure patrol groups and Cogah-infected zones.

Forged of fever, wrought of wrath. The Ode'n lance, Duhk Halic. An Ode'n instrument of corruption. Even the Nimrod who wields it suffers from its venomous touch. Whether Omen beast or sacred tree, wherever Duhk Halic finds its mark, a wound spews ichor. Though... your weaver ways seem to have purged this wretched lance of corruption... For now.
