Metal Jacket. Also, Tornado Trigger increases the chance for you to exploit Glaive's
Hunt the Weak, which allows you to do AoE damage along with increased damage with critical hits.
Glaive will find this section helpful. I will be going over how his abilities should be used and when you should use them so that your team can have the upper hand in any teamfight. Hunt the Weak: Afterburn: This ability rockets you forward in any direction you choose, damaging enemies along the way. Your next attack launches your enemy in the direction of your strike and stuns them. This allows you to put enemies in tactically bad positions and is especially useful for isolating threats (like
Catherine) your team to needs lock down. It is useful for:
Taka as soon as he disappears with
Kaku. The damage done with the dash forwards will reveal him once more. Twisted Stroke: This guarantees a critical strike that does significantly more damage. It is essentially a more powerful basic attack that can be used at anytime during a fight. This is especially helpful with
Krulas you can do more damage before he has time to use
Dead Man's Rush. It is useful for: Bloodsong: Glaive's ultimate makes him arguably the best tank in the game. You gain 1% lifesteal every time you use a basic attack and every time you get hit with a basic attack. This stacks up to 20 times for a total of 20% lifesteal. This in itself makes you incredibly hard to take down in a teamfight with the help of
Hunt the Weak as it allows you to damage multiple heroes at once. For example, if you hit someone with 150 damage, you will gain 30 health. I recommend gaining all 20 stacks in the jungle or on minions since you want to engage a hero with as many advantages as possible. The stacks also increase the power of the ultimate itself, which swings your axe in a circle around you. However, try to refrain from using this in teamfights as the passive is very beneficial to you and using it resets all the stacks to zero, leaving you at square one. There are very specific situations when you should use it, such as: Afterburn available. Taka as soon as he disappears, since the radius of the circle that Bloodsong damages around you is 4 meters.
Ironguard Contract: Grants a boost of 20 gold every time you are hit 5 times by monsters or minions. Also grants a 30% share of gold of any kill made by a teammate while you are around. This allows you to make the biggest profit possible from farming the lane and jungle.
Halcyon Potion: Allows for sustained farming so you don't have to teleport back home every time you have low health.
Sorrowblade can be achieved through
Heavy Steel or
Six Sins. However, if you buy both items, they will later combine to form Sorrowblade. Through this method you can save gold for getting Tier 3 items by buying the items that are in its upgrade tree. This also effectively boosts your Weapon Power in the time your are waiting to get Sorrowblade. Ironguard Contract
Weapon Blade(2x): Later upgraded to Heavy Steel and Six Sins, both of which count towards Sorrowblade
Swift Shooter(2x): Later upgraded to Blazing Salvo and Lucky Strike, both of which count towards Tornado Trigger
Coat of Plates to counter you. This will be a problem until you complete
Bonesaw. However, you can still gank laners pretty well and will most likely help out a lot in a team fight because of your high base health. Ironguard Contract Heavy Steel Six Sins
Lucky Strike: With this bought, you will be doing critical hits, which means you can take advantage of
Hunt the Weak now. This makes farming the lane more viable for you.
Blazing Salvo
Ironguard Contract Sorrowblade: Combines
Heavy Steel and
Six Sins in your inventory with added Weapon Power
Tornado Trigger: Although
Tyrant's Monocle grants a greater chance for critical hits, the 70% increase in attack speed gives you more chances to critical hit, and therefore, use
Hunt the Weak. It also lets you do deal damage at a very fast rate. (BUILD FIRST)
Piercing Spear: Saves up for Bonesaw and gains armor piercing Blazing Salvo: Saves up for Bonesaw
Dragonheart: Makes sure that you have more health than almost anyone in the match, ensuring that you will last a long time in teamfights.
Catherine. Twisted Stroke. The active, which gives you and your allies a burst of speed similar to
Sprint Boots, is useful for quickly disengaging from a losing fight, or quickly ganking the enemy team. Sorrowblade Tornado Trigger Bonesaw: The armor shred this provides is absolutely devastating to enemies. By reducing the armor of the target you AND your allies will do increased damage to them. Also the added boost to attack speed ensures that their armor will be torn to shreds in no time, leaving them vulnerable to being locked down by your team. This is particularly useful for taking Kraken and destroying Turrets because of the armor shred.
Crucible: The boost to health makes you insanely hard to take down, especially with 20 stacks of
Bloodsong. The active can protect your team from the damage and effects of
Blast Tremor,
Verse of Judgement, and
Dragon Breath. With proper timing, this can save your team from a tremendous amount of damage. (Replace with
Aegis or
Atlas Pauldron if you are up against heavy Crystal or Weapon Damage)
Flare Gun: As respawn timers get longer, it is essential that your team is aware of where enemy heroes are so you don't walk right into an ambush. Pop a flare occasionally to keep an eye on what the enemy is up to. The last thing you need is to get aced.
Bonesaw and
Afterburn to immediately soften up and lock down high threat targets for your team to demolish. Twisted Stroke in the late game so your minions can push up and you can start attacking turrets. The more you push lane, the better. Afterburn out of there and get to somewhere safe. Start farming again if you can.
Koshka, let them take most of the jungle. Your
Ironguard Contract allows you to be flexible with farming. Having a high level assassin can be incredibly useful early in the game.
Afterburn to quickly isolate and eliminate threats and keep your finger over Warhorn and whatever defensive active you have to ensure your team's safety.VaingloryFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level.
