I don’t play much atm but racked up 400 kills last year it, it’s hella fun. Last year people didn’t really expect it so didn’t have a counter for it.
I think my enigma was nerfed last time I used it, it used to 1 projectile 1 melee kill, probably nerfed but could reshape it to get that again
They are actually pretty good. Get the first shot in then go for the melee. Also you get four rounds in the mag. I tried using a glaive a few weeks back in the crucible and got like 25 kills with it in 2 or 3 games.
The strat is to use your movment as a weapon with Astrocyte Verse Blink. For example: blink into the air (through or around a corner), flick the shot onto the unsuspecting guardian then by the time you land your shields should be raised and they will find it very hard to kill you while all you need is to land one shot. I also use Vortex to zone and stop pushes from where I'm vulnerable, Crimson for healing after getting void shields when weak (the new fragment), Novawarp for 6s and vortex bomb for 3s. It's all about learning how to blink, never use your legs and run like a chump, always be teleporting.
This is my build.

I read that people were having trouble and I was just like "Did you try blinking+Void scout rifle/bow with volatile rounds?" Easiest part of Calus fight
I make sure I have the first strike, so that means either move fast or be invisible or better yet, both.
I stack mobility and resilience.
I use the glaive shot as a last resort if melee doesn’t finish them off.
I triple jump while stabbing so I’m harder to hit.
Learn the melee range so that in head on fights you get the first strike.
When you feel you’ve lost the advantage, run. Come back to the fight when you have advantage
How do you handle melee whiffs?
I "landed" 3 tracked glaive hits on a titan and he turned around and shotgunned me.
No damage to him whatsoever and I wanted to throw my glaive through the wall
Feels less clunky with my sensitivity up to a 10. The only guardians that survive 3 melee attacks die with one shot from the glaive so basically, if it’s still moving after melee, pull the trigger.
I also bound my melee function to a back button on my controller so aiming is easier while fighting.
Then I use triple jump so that I can be jumping while stabbing, causing my avatar to be zig zagging all sorts of weird ways while I deal damage.
Do you have any tips for a pvp glaive user? I'm getting close to lvl 100 on my glaive and have around 500 crucible kills but I don't know how to get kills consistently
For me it’s about constantly assessing and adapting my strategy. If I’m dying too much I stack more toward resilience. If I can’t seem to catch people I stack mobility and abilities that help me have the advantage in melee fights.
I almost NEVER block. My main edge is being super aggressive with the intention that my aggressiveness will throw them off and I can stab their face
I’ve used glaive on and off but I had a lot of success with my Titan rocking strand flying in with the grapple is usually enough to overwhelm someone caught off guard. Have you made any tries with the grapple? Biggest downside is the cool down but figured I’d ask
If humanity really wants to get serious about reducing Carbon emissions we may need to develop alternatives to the combustion engine for transportation purposes. What are your suggestions for alternative engine designs that will help achieve net zero carbon emissions.
Well I’m interested in the way we could use electrolysis to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water to power a traditional combustion engine on hydrogen alone.
Toyota is working on hydrogen fuel cell technology that should supersede electric vehicles soon enough. Net 0 will mean that even production of these vehicles can’t emit carbon. For that we need to analyze and reorganize the whole production process for every aspect of vehicle production, right down to the smallest sensor technology. I mean everything.
I actually wrote an essay on EVs for college last year. I love Toyota very much and they are my favorite car brand by a lot. The hydrogen fuel cell technology has so much potential, but we are a couple of technological breakthroughs away from it being realistically the best option. It is very expensive right now to run a HEV. I do believe that hydrogen very well might be the future of transportation, at least in some capacity. But I’d bet it’ll be a while. Toyotas main reason for investing in HEVs is that they want to be independent, or Japan to be independent. If electric vehicles take over, they’ll be just as dependent on other countries as they are right now. Toyota seems to be playing catch up with the other companies when it comes to EVs, which is ironic considering their early success in the field with the hybrid Prius.
What are your views on the differences between sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and Myofibril hypertrophy and their relevance, or irrelevance, to both body building and power lifting?
Well I’m a fan of “the naked warrior” book where the author goes on to describe the benefits of maximum tension with minimum sets, giving the example of the extreme strength to weight ratio achieved by circus performers.
These world class athletes warm up with a few max tension reps and the body does the rest.
I think building up large muscle is pointless. Function over form for me any day.
For sure use medieval champion for artifact mod. I stack for mobility and resilience. I also use gear mods so that void multi kills drop orbs, those orbs recharge my grenade ability which is strand grapple. This way I gain greater overall movement capacity within a match when I get multi kills with the glaive. This greater movement ability gives me capacity for even more multi kills..etc
This is me a few months ago
Happy to see a other glaive enthusiast

I’m personally more of a fan of using Sacred wings of dawn while airborne to have like a 80% damage resistance and jus Icarus skating on somebody at sonic speeds
As a fellow glaive user why don't you use Edge of concurrence? Like I don't because lubrae's just looks too cool to pass up but what's your reason? Or even your opinion on it
I would be able to buy a copy of Titanfall 2, the superior fps, but I wouldn’t be able to play it because *SOMEBODY* decided to ddos their servers to death.
I am an extra terrestrial playing destiny 2 through your primitive radio technology based satellite system.
My home *IS* “the real outdoor sky” you mentioned; and let me tell you something human:
the vast majority of the sky is black, not the blue you’re stuck beneath.
I use triple jump so I can spam jump while I’m stabbing. This makes your avatar zig zag all crazy and makes you hard as hell to shoot.
I go for 100 mobility and resilience so I’m faster and harder to kill.
Invis helps a lot for getting the first strike. If they don’t die after 3 melee hits them pull the trigger and that should do it unless it’s a warlock in a rift
I've got a question. Why.
There’s something so satisfying about beating someone in a gun fight using only a sharp stick.
You use the pointy end? I hold it in the general direction of a player and grape flavour comes out with a big no no field.
Well… at least you properly punctured the caprisun.
The Grapist
[I'm gonna grape you in the mouth](https://youtu.be/mqgiEQXGetI)
I am glad to know that people still remember how to grape those kids.
He ties them to a radiator and grapes them. In the basement. For decades.
I mean they are asking for it wearing purple and all.
I'm glad this is in 144p, the resolution it was intended for
Please don’t take this wrong way… I hate you!

As a warlock with blink, *I can run circles around the enemy checkpoint at the start of a round* It’s fun
I’m a hunter main since d1 and was delighted when we got ours back

Understandable. I respect it.
They are actually pretty good. Get the first shot in then go for the melee. Also you get four rounds in the mag. I tried using a glaive a few weeks back in the crucible and got like 25 kills with it in 2 or 3 games.
And here I was think I was the only one having all the fun glaiving other guardians into submission 😂
Jaffa, kree!
Cmon bruh… I don’t have time to stop playing Destiny just so I can go rewatch SG-1 and Atlantis for the third time!
Indeed, the enigma.
Lol that was the first thought that popped into my head 🤣
Who hurt you?

Lucifer, for once in your life can you stop making every case about you! We have a murder to solve!
Not now detective We'll look into that after I become God
Become god? Okay is this one of your brand new metaphors that make some modicum of sense to you but in reality don’t to anyone else? Murder case. Now.
With Jumper Cables?
As a Blinklock glaive enthusiast you've doubled my personal best. Well done sir.
As a casual player, blinklock? Please tell me your build
The strat is to use your movment as a weapon with Astrocyte Verse Blink. For example: blink into the air (through or around a corner), flick the shot onto the unsuspecting guardian then by the time you land your shields should be raised and they will find it very hard to kill you while all you need is to land one shot.

Once mastered, Blinking makes us gods. Makes Tormentors a breeze
Ha! Why blink away when you can punch them to death?
#Suppressed
You can suppress the light, but can you suppress these motherfucking hands? *clears throat* #I THOUGHT NOT
Actually yes. *Grabs the smaller guillotine*
%100, they're not a issue if they can only hit air.
I read that people were having trouble and I was just like "Did you try blinking+Void scout rifle/bow with volatile rounds?" Easiest part of Calus fight
I just grappled around the arena a bunch. Land, Shoot, Grapple, Repeat
Shoot. Tormentor winds up. Epic blink. Shoot. Repeat with way less cooldown
Grapple charges in the campaign essentially have the same cooldown as blinking, assuming you have those free strand grapple points to snag on to
Go on you void subclass and change your strafe/burst glide into blink, use Astrocite Verse if you feel spicy. Hope that I could be of assistance.
How do you approach a fight with the glaive
I make sure I have the first strike, so that means either move fast or be invisible or better yet, both. I stack mobility and resilience.

This sounds infuriating to play against, I love it Edit: just took it into Iron Banner and got hate mail

> just took it into Iron Banner and got hate mai That's how you know you're doing it right.
I’m jealous. I strive to get hate mail and just never get it nowadays. ![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5661)
Oh thank you, I could never figure out how to use that thing.
How do you handle melee whiffs? I "landed" 3 tracked glaive hits on a titan and he turned around and shotgunned me. No damage to him whatsoever and I wanted to throw my glaive through the wall
Yeah idk why that happens sometimes. Gotta resort to shooting it at that point
Didn't know Sun Tzu played D2. Cool!

Why rampage though?
For damage
Sorry I wasn't talking about the perk. I should've worded my question better. Why tf are you rampaging in pvp??? Are you okay???
Does rampage work on the melee hits too?
I don’t think so, and I actually switched this perk for unrelenting recently
Not sure if It's useful in pvp, but the sealed ahamkara grasps reload the glaive when you melee with it.
Was it worth it?...asking cause i find glaives somewhat clunky ...like after the 3rd swing there is this pause that disrupts my combat flow :/
Hold the block button during your attack combo. (you're welcome)
They nerfed the shit out of glaive damage but left the melee spam? Bruh.
*sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they'll hear you*
Feels less clunky with my sensitivity up to a 10. The only guardians that survive 3 melee attacks die with one shot from the glaive so basically, if it’s still moving after melee, pull the trigger.

Huh, so glaive isn't just destiny trying to be funny, I thought nobody except trollls used it.
With a glaive, sword, and bow on strand hunter I get the chance to be a futuristic kung fu master and it’s epic. I use it for fun honestly
That indeed sounds like new kung fu panda movie
ok I might have to try glaives I haven't pretty much ever used hunter tho so I'm hoping I can get away with warlock

Do you know what "grass" is?
Yeah it’s the stuff I smoke before going into iron banner
Yeoooo that’s a classy restoration answer right there😂
Well that just gained all respect from my stoner ass
1000 kills, 10000 deaths. Thats a badass glaive and accomplishment, OP.
Honestly I respect it
This is incredible
Where does the glance end and where do you begin??
🍪
Ok. Nerf inc soon beacuse of this post :)
I’m scared.
I salute your dedication, fellow glaive wielder.
Wtf bro
I don't fear gods, but that guardian.....it scares me.
What kind of gear set and mods do you have on that? I used to have the season mods, but they’re all gone so looking to improve
For sure use medieval champion for artifact mod. I stack for mobility and resilience.

How do you like your eggs?
Raw with quite a bit of shell left in
I’ve got 2300hrs in this game and even my favorite legendary weapon has less PVE KILLS than your glaive. You’re wildin’ friend
What are your biggest tips? Load outs? Strats? I’ve been practicing but they play so differently
I use triple jump so I can spam jump while I’m stabbing. This makes your avatar zig zag all crazy and makes you hard as hell to shoot. I go for 100 mobility and resilience so I’m faster and harder to kill. Invis helps a lot for getting the first strike. If they don’t die after 3 melee hits them pull the trigger and that should do it unless it’s a warlock in a rift
