Spellblade is a quality build that utilizes Claymore and Glintblade Phalanx Ashes of War. Primarily scales with strength and intelligence and heavily relies on periodic stance-breaking and critical hits. Rendering enemies unable to retaliate.
Spellblade build is an aggressive build that relies on a Claymore to deal major damage to its enemy. Follow up with Academy Glintstone Staff that further boosts overall damage by buffing Claymore with Scholar Armament. Glintblade Phalanx on the other hand is a great addition to the Spellblade's repertoire as it further enhances the stance-breaking capabilities of the build.
The way how this build behaves is you will constantly use the R2 charge attacks of your Claymore buffed with Scholar Armament. With Claymore's incredibly long reach and powerful thrust attack, fights with regular enemies or even boss fights can be trivialized due to the Spellblade's immense stance damage. On top of that, Glintblade Phalanx adds more value to this build by providing bonus range damage and a unique follow-up thrust attack that can be done in a quick manner. However, the main takeaway is the additional stance damage that it can provide thus it will work wonders with Claymore. Expect stun locks and frequent critical strikes, especially for bosses that lead to immense damage per second. Timing plays a huge part as well when casting the Glintblade Phalanx at the right moment. Basically, the positioning of the bosses and enemies is always one of the factors to consider if you will use the follow-up attack or your R2 charge attacks.
This build explores the following talismans, the Axe Talisman and Shard of Alexander for further damage increase overall, especially for charge attacks. Assassin Cerulean Dagger works wonders as well since you will be refunding the FP used from Glintblade Phalanx every time you land a critical strike. Lastly, armed with Spear Talismans for a further boost of your Guard Counters since you can guard by using the Claymore.
On the other hand, since this build involves Academy Glintstone Staff and having 50 intelligence, you do have options to add more spells but we suggest keeping it to a minimum so you can maximize the original build setup of the Spellblade.
