Threat Hero Notes
1
Celeste She cannot do anything against you once you are close, only problem will be her stun, so have your aegis ready for that.
1
Ardan Just chew him down, but ignore him until the rest of his team is dead.
1
Phinn If you have a bones or breaking point, he is a great place to build either of those up.
1
Fortress Also a great place to build up your breaking point.
2
Skaarf Skaarf can kite you, but once your afterburn is ready, that's it for him.
2
Ringo Ringo can also kite you, but your burst damage should make quick work of him
2
Taka You are an excellent counter to him. As soon as he goes invisible, either use your Ultimate to reveal or kill him or afterburner in the direction you think he went.
2
Catherine Her stun is annoying, but no great danger. Stop hitting her if her shield is activated, as it will kill you quite quick. A bones is very effective on her.
3
SAW Weapon saw is an easy kill, just afterburn him and he should be dead pretty much instantly.
3
Vox His bounce damage will be annoying, so build some defence, but he is otherwise harmless as you can afterburn him to death.
4
Lyra She should be pretty harmless, just watch out for her B as it prevents you from using your primary engage/retreat: the afterburn.
4
Kestrel Make sure to hit her enough so she can't go invisible and block her stun with the aegis if necessary. Otherwise afterburn her and she should melt like butter.
5
Koshka She herself is no danger for you, just watch out for her stun, as you will usually be focused by the enemy team, so her stun will be devastating for you, so get the reflex block soon.
5
Blackfeather His life steal tends to be very annoying and he can dodge your afterburn. Should he get away, don't run after him too long, he's faster than you. Should it come to a 1v1, you should be fine.
6
Joule Slow and predictable, but can still deal deal quite a bit of damage. Be sure to dodge her stun and lightning bolts, you should have no trouble slashing her to pieces.
7
SAW Crystal Saw is somewhat dangerous for you, as he can run from your splash damage with his roadie run and burst you away and the slow from his B will keep you away from him while dealing damage. When playing against him, engage with your afterburn and make sure that he is in a bad position for his shank.
7
Reim A defensive Reim can do... well, reim things. When playing against him, make sure you're built for longevity. Have a bonesaw, breaking point and aegis and get mobility soon, you should be fine.
7
Rona Rona can be dangerous, especially if she has an atlas pauldron. Stop attacking and dodge when she uses her Ultimate but turn back and destroy her as soon as it runs out.
7
Skye Skye, if she has good positioning, can be quite deadly, be sure to get defend agains her fairly soon and always focus her.
8
  No Threat
9
Krul A defensive Krul build will be very dangerous for you, as he can outlive your first burst of damage and then apply his weakness stacks on you. Make sure to buy a bonesaw when playing against him.
10
Petal Petal, if played well, can absolutely obliterate you if you're not careful. She will kite the hell out of you and once you're up close let her munions explode. When fighting her, either try to stun her into a wall and burst her down real fast or try to focus down her minions before engaging.

Threat Hero Notes
1
Celeste She cannot do anything against you once you are close, only problem will be her stun, so have your aegis ready for that.
1
Ardan Great place to stack your breaking point or heal up a bit, but never focus him until his team is down.
1
Phinn He can stun you a lot, but if he's the first to engage, build a few breaking point stacks on him and obliterate his team afterwards.
1
Fortress His A tends to attract people to you, which comes in very handy when your primary damage is AoE. He also is a great place to build breaking point stacks.
2
Skaarf Skaarf can kite you, but once your afterburn is ready, that's it for him.
2
Catherine Stop attacking her while her shield is on, as it will deal considerable damage to you. Bones is very effective against her, as her primary defence against you is armor, not health.
3
Reim While Reim only gets stronger a little bit during a fight, your damage almost triples in a long fight. Be sure to get shield early and try to dodge his Spires, you should obliterate him.
3
Vox His bounce damage will be annoying, so build some defence, but he is otherwise harmless as you can afterburn him to death.
3
Taka His burst won't kill you, but he's to sneaky to build your stacks on. He is very fragile tho, so try to reveal him once he uses his Kaku with your A or Ultimate.
3
Ringo He can stay out of your range, preventing you from building up stacks, so get your afterburn on him.
4
Lyra She should be pretty harmless, just watch out for her B as it prevents you from using your primary engage/retreat: the afterburn.
4
Krul You and a defensive Krul both have a lot of longevity, but once you broke down his armor and build up your bp stacks you should be fine. Be sure to block is smite or from hells heart with your aegis and use your atlas pauldron.
4
SAW Wp Saw is easily countered with Glaive. Jump onto him and stun him into a wall with your afterburn, then pop the Atlas Cauldron to slow down his attack speed.
4
Joule Her stun is dangerous, so block that with the Aegis but after that you can quickly break down her armor. And remember: dodge the lightning bolts!
5
Koshka She has some burst, but not enough to kill you. She will stun you, so keep your aegis ready for that.
5
Kestrel Make sure to hit her enough so she can't go invisible and block her stun with the aegis if necessary. Otherwise afterburn her and she should melt like butter.
6
Blackfeather Blackfeather, like you, is long living and once he's in a fight, he gets stronger every second, but so do you. If he runs, let him run, as he is most likely faster than you.
6
Rona Rona can be dangerous, especially if she has an atlas pauldron. Stop attacking and dodge when she uses her Ultimate but turn back and destroy her as soon as it runs out.
6
Skye Skye kites really well, so avoid being at the receiving end of her A. Be sure to stun her into a wall and always focus her down first.
7
Krul An aggressive Krul build is dangerous. He will stun you, lunge onto you and try to break you down as quick as possible. Use your aegis to block the stun and pop the Atlas Cauldron right after and he should be harmless for the next 6 seconds, so be quick!
8
SAW Crystal Saw is somewhat dangerous for you, as he can run from your splash damage with his roadie run and burst you away and the slow from his B will keep you away from him while dealing damage. When playing against him, engage with your afterburn and make sure that he is in a bad position for his shank.
9
Petal Petal, if played well, can absolutely obliterate you if you're not careful. She will kite the hell out of you and once you're up close let her munions explode. When fighting her, either try to stun her into a wall and burst her down real fast or try to focus down her minions before engaging.

Basic Wp Glaive play style Top

Be aggressive, like really aggressive, but don't get caught up on anything. Try to be in the middle of team fights, as you deal a lot of AoE damage. When engaging, try to pick out the most fragile member of the enemy team with your afterburn, unless there is a specific threat to you, a Skye for example.

Longevity Wp Glaive play style Top

Be even more aggressive than with the basic build and don't be afraid of taking on tanky, damage dealing heroes, such as Reim, Rona, Krul or Ozo, as you depend on tanky enemies to build up your stacks. Try to build up breaking point stacks before the beginning of a fight, for example, when the enemy roamer checks your brush or wants to put a mine there, try to put as many hits on him as possible, without bringing yourself into danger, so that when the team fight starts, you already have a few stacks.

Basic Cp Glaive play style Top

Your primary damage will be your A, so use it wisely. Try to jump through as many enemies as you can and stun away the most dangerous/hardest to kill of the enemy team. Every enemy you jump across will receive between 400 and 650 crystal damage. Try fighting above and below the tri-brushes, as the enemy team will be very concentrated together there and will usually be standing in a line, perfect for your afterburn. Try to have as many stacks as possible on your Ultimate, as the full number of stacks (20) will deal IMMENSE damage in the thousands! Try to use your ultimate to hit more than one person at a time, as it deals full damage to everyone in a 5.4 meter radius.

How to use your A (Afterburn) Top

This is your primary engage, so DON'T F*** IT UP!!! Make sure that your team is there to back you up, as almost always the afterburn will put you in an unfortunate position. Try to stun your target into a wall or in the direction of your team/tower and if necessary use your boots to do so, as a failed afterburn often results in a failed team fight. DO NOT use this ability for leveling EVER, because you will need it in the next team fight and it costs quite a bit of energy.

(A nifty little trick): Try timing your B and the next basic attack after your afterburn simultaneously for DOUBLE DAMAGE!

How to use your B (Twisted Stroke) Top

This one is fairly simple. This is basically a critical strike. Use it primarily in the double minion camps, to surprise enemies with a burst of damage or to get that tiny bit of extra range to finish off a fleeing enemy, as Glaive's critical strikes cleave in a 3,4-meter cone in front of him.

How to use your Ultimate (Bloodsong) Top

This 5,4-meter AoE damage is useful for catching fleeing enemies if your afterburn is still on cooldown. Note that it also gives you life steal per stack, up to a max of 20 stacks, which roughly translates into 19% weapon life steal at max stacks. This makes it reasonable not to use this at the beginning of a fight as that life steal can come in pretty handy. The damage dealt by this ability also increases the more stacks you have, so it makes sense to use it with as many stacks as possible. Stacks are added by basic attacking.

About the Basic Wp Glaive item choice... Top

If for whatever reason you are building an extremely offensive build: Sorrowblade, Tornado Trigger, Tyrants Monocle, Breaking Point, Bonesaw and Boots.

If your enemies/enemy is building a lot of Cp: Sorrowblade, Tornado Trigger, Tyrants Monocle, Breaking Point/Bonesaw (Depending on if they have armor), Aegis and Boots.

If your enemies/enemy is building a lot of Wp: Sorrowblade, Tornado Trigger, Tyrants Monocle, Breaking Point/Bonesaw (Depending on if they have armor), Metal Jacket/Atlas Pauldron (Ap if enemy has lots of attack speed) and Boots.

If your enemy/enemies are building Wp and Cp: Sorrowblade, Tornado Trigger, Tyrants Monocle, Metal Jacket/Atlas Pauldron (Ap if enemy has lots of attack speed), Aegis and Boots.

If your enemy/enemies are building Wp, Cp and a lot of armor: Sorrowblade, Tornado Trigger, Bonesaw, Metal Jacket/Atlas Pauldron (Ap if enemy has lots of attack speed), Aegis and Boots

You will usually be using the last one of these, simply because it only occurs very rarely, that people don't build defense against you.
