F in chat for glaive mains

As someone who loves glaive in real life, this brings me so much pain lol.

[@Winderlin]

Great vid as usual, and I agree. I feel like if they buffed it down like, maybe if they gave it long sword slash damage it would be a good weapon

[@Nuggz1]

That might be enough, the slashes are basically not even worth doing because of the damage but also they are the attack that is most likely to hit people

This weapon really reminds me of the longsword. It has a fun feel but not good for team objective.

[@Winderlin]

@@tgc281 play for fun, not to win. It’s like third person vs first person

Big glaive fan here. Here's some things I like to do for the glaive. I usually go footman with it so i can charge in like a b hole and can ramp up support with med packs. It seems to work best on defense, where you are waiting for backup and holding a choke. I can harass 4+ dudes for a while with the counter slash on them or slash spam and keep distance. Then backup comes and you can switch to kill mode, which is crouched overhead over and over and maybe some stab feints. It feels like a chainsaw it's great. I like to treat it like a knife with longer reach AND it slashes through

[@Antrositic]

Cool video, nugget! Please continue with this type of content, it's fantastic.

[@brollyvalhala]

Great vid. Can you do one on the 1 handed sword?

[@hyp3rhippo]

A loadout I like is dane axe with glaive. The speed and reach of the glaive make it a great follow up to a dane axe throw and the chunk of dmg from the dane throw help with glaive low damage.

[@JWP190]

Just bad. All two of the glaive mains out there might say otherwise, but they're too busy dying to knights that tank 4 hits in a row and then heavy overheads once.

[@DowneastRockstar]

Its so goddamn fast but i feel kinda weak with it vs other weapons

[@williamprice1497]

also i'd be for a cudgel vid

[@Hyperbion7]

Good for learning spacing and movement, and more fun than spear imo. Feels honest, and thus rewarding to top score with it. I wouldnt say its a competitive weapon though

[@TheRopiak]

Great video. Let's hear about the Pole Axe or QS? I am starting to like pole axe thrust moves alot lately

[@Nuggz1]

I was thinking of doing poleaxe next. Another rarely used weapon for sure

[@lethargicmosquito]

@@Nuggz1 poleaxe low key slaps, been using it lately, not the best dmg but ppl are not used to fighting it and the special attack is one of the best in the game!

[@TheRopiak]

@@lethargicmosquito I enjoy in group fights using the thrust to snipe kills from the second line in between teammates

[@lethargicmosquito]

@@TheRopiak aaaah a fellow man of culture, I see! hope to see you in the battlefield brother

[@TheRopiak]

@@lethargicmosquito Ah tip top, see you there brother

[@amanda.7125]

I use it mostly in one on one duals just to wound the enemy then switch to the messer to finish the jobb, the glaive is best in team objectives to keep the enemy at bay and to just roam the battlefield and just wound clumped upp enemies to make it easier for youre teammates to kill them, the glaive is mostly just a fast way to weaken the enemy not for prolonged combat!!🤔😊

[@coolguy9616]

do one for cuddgel

[@Jacobiwankenoby]

Ser sweepz isn't gonna be happy about this one...😄

[@Nuggz1]

I hope he sees I want to hear his defense

[@Jacobiwankenoby]

@@Nuggz1 he likes playing support, so it kind of works towards his play style. He actually might agree with a lot of this video. If I see him on I'll tell him to check the video out

[@NeviusZ]

@@Jacobiwankenobyyeah it takes 1 hour to kill a single knight but DAMN do you feel like a main character 1vXing

[@Keeve5]

Underrated I'd say. It's just the polearm version of the war club and it cleaves. You could also say its a spear with a slash attack. The range is great and the overhead is really fast.

[@rickfakhre2400]

It's more like the pole arm equivalent of the rapier. It's fast but doesn't do much damage.

[@SpiceSwagger]

I call the glaive the toenail and just look straight down spamming overheads so no one can get near me lol

[@Nuggz1]

Damn it really does look like a freshly clipped toe nail

[@Winderlin]

Can you do one on the rapier. War club, and light shield?

[@rockabillly88]

I'm right there with you, 2 of my favorite weapons.

[@Winderlin]

@@rockabillly88 no I hope he does a video about how annoying they are (except for the light shield)

[@Tttt-740]

Lets see Paul Allan's main

@@Nuggz1 Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.

[@rockabillly88]

Do you have a war club review? The glaive sucks.

[@Nuggz1]

Not very far into my weapon reviews yet

[@Witerally_Me]

It really doesn’t make sense to me that the glaive is really fast but also does 0 damage. Then again 1 handed weapons are slow because why not. It doesn’t even make sense from a gameplay perspective.

[@Vlad_-_-_]

When you compare it to all the other options and how you can use those to secure two shot kills, then this weapon looks bad indeed. What is the point of that speed and range when you can't kill things ? And killing things fast ( preferably more than one thing at a time ) is important in TO. Sure, a beast player like you will reck lobbies with it regardless, but its still a poor weapon. As you said, why would you ever pick this over beast weapons like halberd or polehammer ? Or all the other options the raider gets ?

[@Nuggz1]

It can work in an isolated environment like duels but it's just so much work to hit someone 6 or 7 times to kill them in some cases

[@Vlad_-_-_]

@@Nuggz1 Exactly. Especially harder for a weaker player if the enemy only needs like TWO hits to end you.

[@americanviking4601]

Extremely underrated

[@klevinduck]

It can't 2 shot Vanguard with any heavy attack. Bad weapon but flashy and fun weapon haha.

[@applebeeez]

I was gonna riot if you said the glaive is good lol

[@Nuggz1]

Haha gotta throw some positives in there. Problem is that there are better weapons for third partying people and this one can't do anything else

[@MikeP5830]

Its pretty bad

[@sex-indeed]

Smash, next question
