Glaive guide. This hero can deal enormous damage, and his critical strikes deal AOE damage in front of him. You can play Glaive in the jungle or on the lane. Well-farmed Glaive deals huge damage, and it's hard to kill him on the lane due to his
Afterburn ability.

Afterburn The most important thing in playing Glaive is using his ability –
Afterburn. It is used in 3 cases:1. To move the enemy into dangerous position 2. To deal damage 3. To escape from a dangerous position Try not to waste Afterburn, if you see that the enemy can easily avoid it. For example,
 Vox can do
 Sonic Zoom and
 Petal –
 Trampoline!. Of course,
Afterburn can be blocked by a
 Reflex Block, so you've to use it as suddenly as possible. The whole Glaive gameplay is built around this ability, to master it means to master Glaive as a hero. You should overdrive
Afterburn ASAP, because on 5 lvl its cooldown time is only 12 sec, and you can use it twice in one fight. |

Twisted Stroke This ability deals one out-of-turn critical strike. I usually upgrade it last, but on 12 lvl overdrive it for more damage, critical chance and less cooldown. |
|
|
Bloodsong This ability deals massive damage to all enemies in a 5-meter circle around Glaive. Damage depends on the amount of stacks (check them in the bottom left corner), which are gained by basic attacking any enemies. Ultimate without stacks deals tiny damage, so always keep stacks fully charged before using the ultimate. What's more, charged stacks give Glaive lifesteal from basic attacks, which helps a lot, in addition to his big health. |
Sorrowblade. Some players buy
Tension Bow, but in 1.14 such itembuild isn't as powerful, because you've to buy
Breaking Point later, and BP stacks very slowly now. Sorrowblade you have to look at your enemies and try to predict the length of teamfights. If the enemies are bulky, with a lot of health and defense (e.g.
Krul,
Blackfeather, another
Glaive), take
Breaking Point, it deals lots of damage in long teamfights. After BP you can buy
Tyrant's Monocle for more damage, or, if enemies buy
Metal Jackets, a
Bonesaw to shred their armor. Sorrowblade I take
Tyrant's Monocle and
Tornado Trigger. These both items give more critical strikes and more critical damage, TT also increases attack speed dramatically. With such itembuild Glaive instantly destroys enemies, who forget about defense. Metal Jacket or
Atlas Pauldron, if enemies attack you with crystal –
Aegis or
Fountain of Renewal. In the late game you can take 2 defensive items, don't neglect it. Also
Travel Boots are very useful for Glaive.
