A guisarme is a European pole weapon whose head is a large hook.
Description
A crude weapon, a guisarme is composed of a protruding hook at the end of a long shaft. Unlike other polearms that incorporate hooks such as halberds, becs de corbin, and fauchards, the hook on a guisarme is its defining feature and blade. The typical guisarmes of the French Revolution had heads which, aside from the downward-curving hook, was also sharpened so that it may simultaneously serve as a spearpoint. In this way, the guisarmes were adapted to not just slashing but thrusting attacks as well. Nevertheless, they were, alongside voulges, the weakest polearms of Paris during that period.[1]
History
During the French Revolution, guisarmes were prevalent in Paris where they ranked as the most basic of pole weapons obtainable. The Assassin Arno Dorian of the Parisian Brotherhood as a new recruit used it in his training as a beginner's long weapon.[1]

Trivia
- The guisarme, as the weakest long weapon in Assassin's Creed: Unity, serves as the player's default and starting long weapon. One other weapon, the voulge shares its poor stats but is a side-quest reward.
