Ash of War: Glintblade Phalanx Notes & Tips
- This skill does 40 poise damage, 10 for each magical sword.
- Unlike its spell counterpart, this variant of Glintblade Phalanx deals substantial damage to an enemy's stance; assuming all four swords land on the desired target, most enemies' stance can be broken with merely one or two casts.
AnonymousTIL these things last forever, did not disappear after me having went AFK for 4 hours with it casted

Since Glintblade Phalanx has a habit of copying strange effects from weapon buff magic, I decided to try combo-ing Unseen Blade with this. Invisible Glintblades would be cool as heck.
Glintblade Phalanx is unaffected by Unseen Blade
AnonymousAny other way to get this rather through rogier's rapier? I don't want to upgrade my char to +8 weapon levels for pvp.

AnonymousI just go this from Rogier's rapier, but how to use it? I got the swords out, but I can't fire them at anything. Do they have to be attacking you?

Anonymousthe aow seem so pick up status effect if its innate to weapon

AnonymousThis has been key to my crit build, a cold Misricorde, dagger talisman, Alexander’s jar shard, FP and HP with crits demolish anything seen in PVE.

Anonymous2 casts of this will stagger and open a rune bear for a critical
i've been using it to cheese rune bears
powerstancing cold pikes one with glintblade phalanx the other with glintstone pebble and ppl don't expect the damage and poise break
AnonymousDoes the Skill apply frost if set to Cold? Or is it just the sword itself?

Anonymousat 80 INT these are very deadly for the FP cost. big stagger + good damage . tested on the bandit pages near the caria manor boss room and its does a total of 1014 dmg with all 4 blades landing

Anonymousthis along with Pebble (the ash of war pebble) do MASSIVE posture damage if you follow up with the R2, if youre having a trouble breaking a boss's posture, put this or pebble on your weapon and youll be curb stomping them ez.

AnonymousI don't know if it's gonna stay that way but for now this Ash applies the SPELL weapon buff effect like poison, bleed and even the burning of blackflame. Even if you summon the sword prior using the spell.
Order's blade also works with it toward skeletons.
AnonymousIf you think Moonveil is broken in PvE, then this thing is crazy. Probably won't get touched as I can imagine the glintblades are easy to dodge in PvP.

AnonymousDoes the stagger damage scale with dex ? Have it on my keen rapier like in the magis build

AnonymousCosts 10 FP, should scale with your weapon's upgrade level to make it impeccably strong even if you aren't stacking int in the earlier stages of the game. Still though, 10 FP? That's insane for free damage.

You can put this on curved greatswords for some reason. I aint complaining.

AnonymousIs there anyway to get this without getting Rogier's Rapier? The +8 ruins low level matchmaking :(

AnonymousIf you know how lame homing soul mass was in Dark souls 3, then you're about to have massive ptsd because everyone gets homing soul mass here.

AnonymousThis is probably the best stance breaking ash of war after the nerfing of Moonveil. It takes 3 castings to break bosses stance.

AnonymousWorks with bleed, rot, etc. Tested it with blood flame blade and it applied bleed to an enemy in like 2 hits.

AnonymousShoots automatically, has homing, is absolutely ridiculous at stance breaking, does decent damage, and it only costs 10 FP. What the hell?

Anonymousdoes its damage scale only with int? if I chose keen for example, would it still only scale with int for producing more damage or would it only scale with dex then? I guess this question could apply to other arts as well, when choosing scale with int, but the weapon art is physical damage type if that exists as well. In that case I imagine it replies on the total damage number, but in the example with this spell, I am not sure.

AnonymousHow can I get this to grant keen affinity to my rapier? It only has standard and magic

AnonymousDef recommend using this on the Rapier instead of the Misericorde same stat reqs but all around better weapon for only 10 less crit, mix a cerulean dagger and filigreed crest and now your phalanx will only cost 3 fp but youll gain 15 fp on a crit letting you have great fp sustain. Lets me keep blessing boon up at all times and with that same setup id also recommend a weapon with prayerful strike, at 25 faith it was healing me and others for about 365hp at a cost of 15 fp and has crazy amounts of poise and pancakes most things letting you trade pretty safely.

AnonymousIs this still better than Carian Phalanx? If Carian Phalanx is better then i can use a weapon with bloodhound step for better mobility

AnonymousKind of sad that you can't have the Ash of War phalanx and the normal spell phalanx active at the same time. I wanted to run around with 9 swords floating behind my head.

AnonymousI have to wonder how many people cheese bosses with this and call them easy. It's just disrespectful how easily it staggers. Am I the only one who thinks it's unbalanced?

Anonymous
AnonymousPut the glintblade Phalanx on Misericorde. 10 FP to cast that cost stagger for crit hit. With magic aff with int build, the damage is insane.

AnonymousThis thing is broken, OP broken, costs less than the spell version , does immense damage to stance , and the damage is still decent, you can easily keep it on a knife on a unused weapon slot and spam until the target falls

Anonymous"Glintblade Phalanx is gained from the sorcereress teacher after giving her an academy scroll found in a soldier camp to the north, past the gate front."

AnonymousThe ash of war is on the blade you receive. Just go remove it at the blacksmith.

Anonymous
AnonymousFor those still looking for it, after you defeat Godrick go see Rogier in the roundtable, tell him you killed Godrick he'll give you this ash and his rapier.

The answer to corpse piler, transient moonlight and rotten breath. Lets you focus on dodging while punishing their animation.
