7
 Krul His stun can be unleashed at any moment, and the Krul might use an Atlas' Pauldron(Cauldron??) to counter you so its best to have 20 bloodsong stacks and keep an eye on the score board.
7
 SAW a sensible saw may use the Roadie Run to shank you from out of nowhere or whilst escaping. Keep the Afterburn for that moment unless he is a WP saw or is unloading Mad Cannon rounds.
8
 Koshka She's still squishy as ever but her stun can direct enemy fire to you, more so if you have the all-crits. Counters : Quick reflexes+Reflex Block<
9
   No Threat
10
 Adagio A genuinely bad idea to pick a fight against, especially if the enemy Adagio has a BP or is able to kite you with Agent of Wrath. Counters : Adagio is distracted or you're ambushing him.
10
 Catherine Basically any class with a strong stun is able to bring you down but more so with Catherine's Silence and stun with a relatively low cooldown time. And he StormGuard renders your cleave doing more harm than good. DO NOT ENGAGE UNLESS HER ENERGY BAR IS EMPTY.

Why all cleave? Top

Well it's quite simple.
The Dev team at S.E.M.C included the 'Hunt The Weak' heroic perk and design Glaive for a simple reason : Becoming a Cleaving(Critical Swing) power house with the afterburn able to push away or pull in weaker foes to be smitten upon. Hence, 'Hunt the WEAK'.

Why sacrifice the potential for a powerful tank for just cleaving? Top

Again, it's simple since Glaive is the tankiest Hero with a staggering 2000HP without any HP boosts, and Glaive has the Bloodsong that can really heal a ton especially with the stacks healing 1% of damage dealt(I'm not really sure how the Lifesteal work for this Ulti, don't sue me.), making you incredibly hard to take down when you're taking down multiple enemies with a single swing. Even then, a Afterburn through a wall will put a considerably large distance for you to get to the safety of an Allied Turret. Besides, it's fun seeing the enemy underestimate you for your lack of HP boost only to get melted to death in a 1v1.
