My experience farming the Phalanx.

1. First encounter, used poison arrows to stay out of range. Totally successful, but slow and I realised later it was a waste of arrows.

2. Next attempts, used the Poison Mist pyromancy. Very successful, but slow.

3. Next attempts, used the Poison Mist pyromancy and Lucerne. Even faster, since the two handed strong attack of the Lucerne hits twice for impressive damage.

4. Next attempts just used the Lucerne. Even faster.

5. Finally tried the Dragon Tooth (mine is currently +5). Absolutely the best choice yet; the two handed strong attack typically hits three enemies at once, commonly hits four, and sometimes hits as many as six. A hit is a guaranteed overkill, with more than 600 HP of damage to each target, for 600 souls each; a total of 8,400 souls per minute.
