The Ash of War: Glintblade Phalanx is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Magic affinity and the Glintblade Phalanx skill.
Glintblade Phalanx raises the weapon to form an arch of four magic glintblades over the wielder, which fire at enemies automatically once they come into range. A strong attack input follows up with a lunging thrust that covers a fair distance and can be aimed in any direction. The glintblades deal magic damage that scales with Intelligence, while the thrust uses the weapon's own attack power. It suits spellblades and Dexterity or Intelligence hybrids who want extra stance damage and pressure from afar.
Stats
It grants the Magic affinity and a Whetblade can switch it to Standard, Heavy, Keen, Quality or Cold. The skill costs 10 FP. It fits Dagger, Throwing Blade, Straight Sword, Light Greatsword, Greatsword, Thrusting Sword, Heavy Thrusting Sword, Curved Sword, Curved Greatsword, Katana, Great Katana, Twinblade, Spear, Great Spear and Halberd.

Skill
Summon the glintblades before closing in, then press the attack while they home in on the target. The lunging thrust is a strong gap closer, but it can be parried, and the glintblades themselves can be reflected. A new cast replaces any glintblades that are still hovering.
