Ash of War: Glintblade Phalanx

Glintblade Phalanx summons an arc of magic glintblades above your head that fly at enemies on their own. Follow up with a strong attack and the skill turns into a lunging thrust. It grants the Magic affinity, so it suits Intelligence builds that still want to fight up close.

It fits swords as well as polearms that can thrust, apart from colossal weapons.

Where to find it

It comes fitted on Rogier’s Rapier +7. Sorcerer Rogier at the Roundtable Hold gives you the rapier if you tell him that you have defeated Godrick the Grafted, and you can also loot it from his body at the end of his questline. Once you have it, Smithing Master Hewg can duplicate it for Lost Ashes of War.

Item description & lore

The enchanted knights who served the Carian royal family fought with this technique.

Notes & tips

  • Cast the blades, then close in. They will fire at enemies by themselves while you attack.
  • Chain into the strong attack for the lunging thrust.
