why-shouldnt-i but why shouldn't I have two halberd beams? I have a burst laser 2. I have a hacking bay. I can always decide to power up the breach missile if they have 4 shield layers.

The defining moment of FTL for me was hacking the shields then one-shot killing the final boss with double halberds

Posted above but shields aren't immune to beams, the negate 1 beam damage per shield, so a halberd doing 2 damage per room hit can pierce a single shield for half damage.

shrug-outta-hecks Up to you I'm not necessarily the best FTL player.

Shields actually only negate 1 beam damage and the halberd does 2, if they only have one shield bubble you can still halberd through with one, and if your sweep includes the shield room first you could disable the last layer and get 2 dmage on subsequent rooms not to mention the second beam you follow with immediately.
