Elden Ring Glintblade Phalanx Guide, Notes & Tips
- This is an Ash of War Skill, associated with the Ash of War: Glintblade Phalanx.
- FP Cost: 10 on use, 4 on follow up.
- This totals to a 14 FP cost.
- Deals 5x4 stance damage, and an additional 12-22 from the follow-up attack depending on weapon type
- This Skill not Chargeable
- This Skill's second attack can be Parried (the Glinstone projectile can be Parried with Carian Retaliation)
- This Skill's first attack can be Parried if performed with no Focus.
- Upon activation, the user raises their armament (weapon) to the air, creating an arch of homing glintblades that hovers over their head.
- Inputting the strong attack button will make the user perform a thrust that covers a fair amount of distance in a single direction.
- The follow up thrust can be aimed to lunge in any direction.
- This attack also deals Stance damage according to the weapon type used:
- 12 for Daggers
- 16 for Thrusting Swords
- 20 for Straight Swords, Curved Swords, Katanas, Twinblades, Spears, and Halberds.
- 22 for Greatswords, Curved Greatswords, Heavy Thrusting Swords, and Great Spears.
- This attack also deals Stance damage according to the weapon type used:
- Because stance-breaking enemies becomes easier, it presents the opportunity to deal Criticals more often.
- A great talisman to offset the FP cost is the Assassin's Cerulean Dagger.
- If used without FP:
- Does not create glintstone blades.
- Follow up thrust deals less damage.
- Glintblades summoned deal 100% Magic Damage, and scale with Intelligence regardless of the Infusion used (even Heavy or Keen). The follow up attack deals damage based on Attack Rating and the damage type matches the same as the weapon, including ratio of damage types.
AnonymousUnderrated in both PvP and PvE. You can use it in PvP to rush an opponent and fish for roll-catches, and the stance damage in PvE is less than Square Off or Lion’s Claw but can be used to prevent stance regeneration.

I could be wrong, but after some testing, I think the carian glintblade staff actually lowers the glinblades damage instead of raising it. +8 rogiers rapier, all 4 of the glintblades did 164 against the soldiers of godrick near church of elleh without the staff in offhand, did 160 damage with the staff in offhand. Might need more testing to confirm

I'm just going to put this out here, because people need to understand that putting this on a katana means you can deal 60 stance damage. That's enough to break plenty of bosses' stances in one hit, and nearly all of them in two. Not to mention it looks kind of funny to wave the nagakiba over your head.

You know, if you have a tanky mimic tear, this can be a pretty good skill to spam. Keeps most bosses stunlocked and allows the mimic tear to self heal with either raw meat dumplings or prayerful strike great stars.

Damage type on the thrust forward? And how does it scale
Does affinity chosen affect the damage of the Phalanx, or only weapon upgrade and intelligence? (if weapon upg and int is the same, does keen or heavy affinity will have the phalanx do same damage as magic affinity?)

Glintblade Phalanx has always been a great AoW, being a strict upgrade over the spell version in usefulness thanks to the high stagger.
However, today 1.0.8 nerfed Flame of the Redmanes to 10 stagger damage, making this even better as its now a potential replacement for those who were using FotR for a stagger build. It only requires a little more effort, namely beating Godrick as opposed to rushing Caelid, but it's arguably an easier task for those not willing to deal with Caelids brand of nonsense.

Does the Beastman Curved Sword has slightly higher follow-up stance damage comparing with other curved swords? Given it has different jumping attack move and stance damage. Thank you.

Does this carry the cold/frostbite ability granted by the affinity?
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

Why not fuse all these pages with their respective AoW pages? I don!t see the point in having 2 different pages for basically the same.

Anybody know if this scales with the Weapon Damage itself or just the magic damage? Or even just int? Curious how I can align my stats.

The projectiles stay indefinitely (until they find a target) even when you unequip the weapon used to summon them. (Might seem obvious but I thought it was interesting)
