A Guide by Sephiroth012 Top

Note: This build was originally created by player Sephiroth012 in the official Vainglory forums. The author displays as VG COMMUNITY as part of a bulk migration of guides to VaingloryFire. Enjoy!

Intro Top

This time, Glaive is really a beast!! Not even 2 towers can kill this tanky damager (make that 3 if there are minions around)!! I did another solo (kinda) with the Kraken but with the help of a teammate....(he is weak cause he left the game and just came back). I did the tanking and i did not even reach a half of my life to the Kraken!! He does big lifesteals to non-heroes cause of WARHORN's DPS ability, and with the help of SERPENT MASK he is unkillable!!

Proof:



This is really real!! No heals and etc. just me tanking up the Kraken with the help of a life steal!!

STARTING OFF AS A JUNGLER: Top

First, buy the Ironguard Contract to earn gold fast, and to the remaining gold, buy HALCYON potions( you could buy 4 with the remaining gold). Kill the regenerating minions at the jungle first for HP regen, thus, you wont have to waste your HALCYON potion and can use it for emergencies.

FACING ENEMIES IN EARLY GAME! Top

Since you are going for WARHORN i suggest you avoid enemies when you see one. Never fight them alone if you know you are going to lose, get some help from a teammate. But remember: EARLY DEATH is not a problem cause Glaive himself gets stronger in mid-late game. But try not to die too much. And also, avoid SAWs in early game, they can kill you in seconds with that rapid passive of his.

ANOTHER JUNGLER ALLY! Top

Now this is better than you jungling alone in the jungle. Both of you can INVADE the other side of the jungle with a little COOPERATION of course. But if your ally is really that much of a noob, leave her/him be. "Much"noobs comes from anonymous players, it means not all.
You need your ally to follow your signals if, you want COOPERATION. It is dangerous to INVADE the enemies side of the jungle, specially if those enemy lainers stop by and help an ally. So stay close with each other. Keep in touch. (Lol)

MID GAME Top

By mid-game, i think it is 10-15mins, i guess. But, by that time you have to be lvl 8-12 and already have completed WARHORN. Glaive is naturally strong even without items, so its ok to face enemies now. But not all. Just having the Stormguard Banner item will make Glaive rich in no time. This build is for JUNGLER Glaive. You must rush STORMGUARD BANNER in order to kill minions fast and earn money faster, so by that you can now go to the WEAPON build for killing enemies faster.

LATE GAME! Top

Late-game is like when the Kraken shows up, or more. 15-20+mins. This is where Glaive turns into a beast! By the time the Kraken shows up, you must be finish with the second item build, or down to the last purchase. Now you can kill enemies by yourself. This gives you the ability to land massive critical strikes! Which can kill enemies in seconds, but try to avoid GOOD Koshka users, they are very challenging, specially when they caught you with their SS. It deals great dmg to you at first because you have only one offensive item. But if you get the Tornado Trigger, you can kill good Koshka users in just a jippy.

CONDITIONS Top

There are three conditions for Glaive to last long.

No.1- Attack speed
No.2- Life steal
No.3- Tankiness

Complete this three and you can turn things around. But how about attack damage? The Sorrowblade? By having attack speed and life steal, you wont need SORROWBLADE for attack damage. In fact, you are already a DMGR if you complete the three offensive items. You will see once you try this out.

ITEM BUILDS!! Top

Now, i keep mentioning items mysteriously in the guides and tips. Here they are! And dont forget this!! Rush all items, dont go buying Hourglass then buy Swift Shooter, no, definitely no. Rush an item!! Dont go wandering!

You can complete this item in mid-game.

ITEM BUILD no.1- WARHORN!

Buy IRONGUARD>STORMGUARD + HOURGLASS>CHRONOGRAPH= WARHORN

You can complete this in mid-late game.

ITEM BUILD no.2- Tyrant's Monocle!

First, buy the SWIFT SHOOTER>LUCKY STRIKE + WEAPON BLADE>SIX SIN= TYRANT'S MONOCLE

Late game item builds, you can complete this one before the Kraken shows up, or when it shows up, or more. Lol

ITEM BUILD no.3- Tornado Trigger!

Buy the SWIFT SHOOTER>LUCKY STRIKE +SWIFT SHOOTER(again)> BLAZING SALVO= TORNADO TRIGGER

After the Kraken shows up.

ITEM BUILD no.4- Serpent Mask!

Buy the BOOK OF EULOGIST>BARBED NEEDLE + WEAPON BLADE>HEAVY METAL= SERPENT MASK

After the Kraken shows up.

ITEM BUILD no.5- Metal Jacket!

Buy the LIGHT ARMOR>COAT OF PLATES= METAL JACKET

ADD UPs!!

Yay!! You have now completed Glaives beastly form! "Hey! I dont see any boots!" Its your choice if you want to buy boots, or add another offensive item, or another defensive item. Experiment on it! I hope you enjoyed my new and improved guide to Glaive!! See you in game!!
