Smarag's Glintstone Breath Lore

Smarag's Glintstone Breath Effects

Smarag's Glintstone Breath is a stronger version of Glintstone Breath. It allows the caster to transform into Smarag and spew powerful magic breaths at enemies. The breaths deal magic damage upon hit, making it one of the only magic-based damage attacks that scales with Faith.

How to Get Smarag's Glintstone Breath

Obtained by Exchanging Dragon Hearts

Smarag's Glintstone Breath can be obtained by exchanging 2 Dragon Heart at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion.

How to Use Smarag's Glintstone Breath

Magic Damage for Faith Builds

Smarag's Glintstone Breath is often utilized when dealing with enemies that have a weakness to magic attacks. For pure Faith builds that have no points in Intelligence, Smarag's Glintstone Breath is a great magic damage alternative against bosses weak to it like Magma Wyrm Makar (and its variants).

However, do note that like many of the dragon breath incantations, Smarag's Glintstone Breath also has relatively low poise while casting. This makes you highly susceptible to basic interruptions, especially when only equipped with light armor.

Can be Used in Mid-Air

Unlike the basic Glintstone Breath, Smarag's can be cast mid-jump or while falling. Players can jump off an elevated ledge and cast this in mid-air to zone out pursuing enemies. During PvP, the jump mechanic could be a good mix-up if your caster build faces a melee invader.

To cast a charged breath in mid-air, you will need to either equip a Seal in your right hand or two-hand your seal. If you only have a seal in your off-hand, only one breath will be cast before falling to the ground.

Lastly, casting Smarag's Glintstone Breath before hitting the ground will not save you from fall lethal damage. Any fall that would normally kill or damage you will still proceed after you finish the casting animation.

Damage is Boosted by the Dragon Communion Seal

Players can boost the damage of Smarag's Glintstone Breath by equipping the Dragon Communion Seal. Since the best Faith-scaling seal is the Erdtree Seal, wield the Dragon Communion Seal in your off-hand while casting with your primary seal to boost the damage of Smarag's Glintstone Breath, significantly.

Since the seal's buff effect is passive, it is not necessary to upgrade your Dragon Communion Seal unless you will be using it as your primary casting seal.
