Rainbow Piercer
In-game tooltip, and it corrects the stance: this is a Polearm & Shield skill, not the Greatsword one this record had. Raise your shield and charge forward, followed by a violent spear thrust. Holding the skill prolongs the forward charge, during which turning capacity is significantly reduced. Possesses a Block property while the shield is raised. Successful hits charge your weapon with Judgment energy.
