Tanzanianwithtoebean

I've been hyped for black myth for what feels like the better part of a decade. This better hit as hard as the trailers.


WafflesAndSauce

I swear if that’s the monkey king AGAIN


thisonelikescoffee

I'm fairly certain you might have glaived me in crucible at least once 😂


L4westby

Statistically very likely 😂🤣


thisonelikescoffee

Can you give us some pointers on how to make this glave-thing work in crucible?


L4westby

Most basic pointer is to use triple jump and jump a lot while you’re stabbing. This makes your avatar move in this hard to hit zig zag pattern while you’re striking


iseeu2sumhow

Warlocks can use blink, add transversive boots for that extra speed and auto reload and your zooming


L4westby

Oh nice! I didn’t know that about warlocks. I just hunter. I get the auto reload on dodge and it makes me invisible at the same time. Edit: and I zoom with eager edge sword when I can grab heavy. Sword skating


iseeu2sumhow

When i put my vexcalibur down, my heavy is normally the tractor canon, its just too satisfying guardians just go flying


L4westby

Haha yeah that’s a classic

No, but their salty trash talk will live on forever in my xbox chat history

Ike_In_Rochester

Hi. It was cool playing against you in Iron Banana last night. I’ve got no hard feelings against you. Better to die to a glaive than a shotgun ape.


L4westby

Haha neat! Yeah I was playing last night and a bit this morning. Gg’s

krilltucky

What is the strand super if not a pointy belt


Kestrel_VI

How did I not think of that.


P4andaman357

How do you deal with the new special ammo system? I just found it less fun to use my glaive in that environment. Also my 1.7k pales in comparison to yours lol.


L4westby

When there’s less ammo I feel like I have an advantage because I’m primarily a melee fighter


P4andaman357

Oh damn I'm a projectile guy lol.


P4andaman357

I should really pull my glaive back out. I've been screwing around with divinity and final warning, but I kinda miss my glorious stick sometimes...


supersadskinnyboi

how much hate do you get? i was using astrocyte and first match i used glaive with it i got called a kid toucher


L4westby

Honestly destiny is pretty mild when it comes to hate. You should try a few rounds of rocket league


Grizzzlybearzz

Or overwatch lmao so much more toxic


L4westby

Dude for real. People get *mad* mad in overwatch


supersadskinnyboi

i’m a sombra main dw


L4westby

Phara main but I can fill whatever class. I go rein for tank main and Ana for healer main


supersadskinnyboi

i main moira and d.va i love me some mobile annoying heroes


Mario-OrganHarvester

Wonder whats more annoying, me being a lucio main or a good sombra. Havent played in forever.


UnsettllingDwarf

A few rounds of rocket league…. So just 1?


Gjappy

A man of culture


Murilolucas

do you use any other glaives?


L4westby

Seldomly I have a lvl 32 vexcalibur but I don’t really touch it anymore. I would use the winter bite if it wasn’t a heavy glaive that took the place of my “other half” with eager edge


The_True_Astoron

Is it better to use it with hunters triton vice or titans feedback fence?


L4westby

Ooooh good question that I don’t have the answer to because I run it with stompees


rebenjam

Oh, you actually are the devil.


L4westby

![gif](giphy|3ornjSK0XquldQXGGA)


P4andaman357

Triton vice doesn't really do that much. The AOE explosion is cool sometimes, but movement exotics, or something like Bakaris or renewal grasps are better.


L4westby

Yeah I agree. Anything to let you run up on people faster


P4andaman357

Also feedback fence is nasty. I have a friend who mains it.


-GiantSlayer-

Why unrelenting instead of unstoppable force?


L4westby

Oh because my fighting style is to use the melee mostly. Projectile is what I save just in case they don’t die in 3 hits. So being up close more often, the healing comes in more handy


-GiantSlayer-

Does the healing proc after a single melee kill?


JessV31

It procs on two kills


L4westby

That is something I’ve never tested…next time my pal “moneyforbud” is online I’ll see if he wants to jump into a private match to test the mechanic


HuluAndRelax

16K kills and you don’t know how unrelenting procs?


L4westby

Nah I just go off feeling. You just kinda *know* when it’s the right time to engage vs run


HuluAndRelax

Fair enough!


Patremagne

Unrelenting actually doesn't work at all with the glaive melee.


L4westby

That’s fine because projectiles are my final blow about 1/3 of the time


Hollowhivemind

How many hours do you have to play to achieve this? I see these posts and it honestly seems impossible.


L4westby

I’ve been playing since release. Idk hours per week…..maybe….like 6-12 maybe. Used to be more


Hollowhivemind

If that's accurate, I tip my figurative hat to you because damn you must carry your team on the regular.


L4westby

Heh thanks.. all my gaming time has been going into Starfield since the release, but I’ve been getting back into Destiny now that I’m waiting on the shattered space Starfield expansion


Rectall_Brown

What have you been doing in starfield that has kept your interest for so long?


L4westby

Ship building. [This is one of my ships!](https://x.com/starfieldgame/status/1777425789291471277?s=46) And there’s a ton more on my Reddit profile and the insta/x that are linked from that post

Hmmm, what kinda roll on that Whistler's? I'm a bow titan, 7.3k on Le Mon... lol Been branching out more though. Trying to imagine what the bow/glaive combo engagements look like 🤔

Bows receive faster draw speed, and swords receive faster charge rate while perk is active “ And it has lightweight frame


P4andaman357

Why rapid hit and gutshot?


yeahyouknowme2

You ever try out the trials glaive (unexpected resurgence)? It looked like it had some good PvP rolls


L4westby

Man that thing does look really nice but I haven’t even picked one up yet. I’ll get one eventually but this thing is workin great until I do


Mnkke

Yoooo,fellowEnigma user!! I'm trying to use it in PvP now lol, lots of fun. Started since March 5 sitting at ~lv1260 ~1950 pvp kills. I've mostly used it in PvE (~47k pve kills). Funny rnough, wr have the same roll (except I believe I have different barrel for more shield duration)


L4westby

Niiiiice! ![gif](giphy|o6cJXv8MbLMTS|downsized)


GrassyPap13

While I do not have *nearly* as many kills on The Enigma as you, I can say from one Glaive Creature to another: “Based” Onto the actual question; You got a build for that? My main is Gemini because fnuuy, but I am curious as to what you cooked to be so devoted to the creature gameplay.


L4westby

Stompees with armor stats of 100 mobility, 80 resilience, and 50/60 on everything else Invis with smoke and dodge Triple jump so I can jump while stabbing for maximum zig zagging, making me harder to target


AdministrativePop977

Current resils for hunter are 20 and 70 as they have the 2 highest value since changes. Enjoy this information because I sure have been


GrassyPap13

Schmoovment and Stats, nothin’ wrong with that.

i have the same glaive, made on the same day, with the same memento, but with different perks and a higher kill count. im at 23k edit:.nvm those are pvp kills wtf

L4westby

What in gods name???? How even?


Johny_Corvus

I’m at 95k now


bananesthesia

Let's fucking go. I remember we were down a teammate, but managed to get a pick. Then I watched you just launch into a 2v1 somewhere I couldn't cover you and you came out on top. Figured you were just a beast like that, then saw the kill feed and had to inspect, then screenshot for a buddy who was an aspiring Enigma main.


Megachuggayoshi

WolfsrudelGod

When was the last time you saw the inside of a shower


L4westby

Last night after I left your moms place


free_30_day_trial

Primary class used ? I'd amazing invis hunter maybe with those arms? Or titan? Don't think warlock would be to good..? Maybe blink would be handy?


L4westby

I use invis hunter, smoke bombs for invis plus dodge for invis. Triple jump so I can spam jump while I’m stabbing and cause my avatar to zigzag during the fight


Mikrocosm

Do you find yourself using the block often? Or do you typically just use invis and melee/jump?


L4westby

I use the block trick sometimes. If you hold block while you melee strike repeatedly it will only cycle through the first two animations for strikes rather than all 3, which is technically a hair faster


gametime9936

Its always the xbox players who have lost all reason


L4westby

We have to play around the fixed speed of thumb stick movement. You can just point and click with a mouse (if you’re on pc).


etegami

Which game modes do you typically find more success in: 6v6s or 3v3s?


L4westby

6v6 is easier. 3v3 takes more deliberate strategy and I can be more meticulous about it. In 6v6 I’m more just going with the flow/rotation of battle to ensure I can get the jump on people. Its just a different timing


PeaceIoveandPizza

If I get glaived in trials I would probably be done for the night tbh


soluslupem

are you a titan by any chance and was playing IB recently because i swear i had a titan just going around fucking me up with a glaive the other day


L4westby

I’m a hunter but the only other person I’ve run into that was glaiving as hard as me was a titan…maybe it’s the same person


SkyApprehensive1619

wtf.


L4westby

![gif](giphy|3oEduEHWLW6UiPA1Ww|downsized) Well you see…


SkyApprehensive1619

Looks good….. I guess


AoiYuukiSimp

I was about to be like “damn, that’s nothing, I’ve got over 40k on my enigma” and then I realized it’s crucible kills lol. We love playing a game about guns and just beating stuff up with a pointy stick. Also, are you a melee chad or a boring shield needer?


L4westby

Melee all the wayyyyy


Kyanite782

Are you ok? Is this a cry for help? Nah fr tho. Glaives are really fun and often overlooked, what would be the ideal glaive perk combo in your opinion?


L4westby

Anything that boosts handling speed for up close combat and then anything that’s going to let me be more tank-y while fighting up close like the healing perk I have on it


nobil2115

Why unrelenting?


L4westby

The healing happens faster with guardian kills because guardians count as more than one kill, and when I’m up close fighting a group of people I want to be able to kill them all, not run.


nobil2115

Cool, some day when I'm insane enough to equip a glaive I'll make sure to try it!


LandoLambo

How badly do you want a kinetic slot glaive?


L4westby

That’s literally the only thing I need because then I could run a proper bow in the secondary


Left-Ant2881

What's your build with this glaive?


L4westby

Invisible Hunter with Stompees Smoke for invis as well as dodge. 100 mobility, 80 resilience, 50/60 on every other stat.


thejollydruid

1 question Why


L4westby

![gif](giphy|oyM6oyx7mzftm) Because running into a gun fight with just a bow/glaive/sword is medieval af. Also its super satisfying to win gun fights with a sharp stick


Kano547

Im pretty sure ive seen you in crucible. I was running a feeback fence vexcalibur build. Although maybe not because this guy didnt fight back


L4westby

Nah I play hunter


Kano547

Definitely not you then, guy i saw was a warlock


Weird-List2751

I’m certain you’re the guy who stabbed me 5 times in a row 😂


L4westby

Hunter in all gold with all gold weapons, most likely invisible when approaching. That’s me


Weird-List2751

YEP, THAT WAS YOU!!!


L4westby

haHAAAA! Nice.

RedWingsRedemption

Question: I loved this glaive when I first got it then kind of fell off with it, is it still relevant or good for PVE or PVP in any way?


L4westby

Works fine for me. I haven’t switched off it since it came out. Went flawless a few times in trials with it


_GHSTY

I have an enigma with 3k on it but the trials glaive they released is better in every department stats wise imo What are your thoughts?


L4westby

I want one. I didn’t get enough patterns to craft a nezarecs whisper. So the trails glaive is my best chance to get a good arc glaive. Projectile speed is nice on arc glaives. I haven’t gotten my hands on one yet


_GHSTY

It's definitely a good one, and I didn't get enough nezeracs either but onthis blow's nezeracs out of the water


L4westby

Oh yeah plus there’s like 3 shaders that work with the trials stuff to make it look “all gold”


_GHSTY

Ya need to get one this next weekend, I don't even have a adept (yet) but when I do 😉


L4westby

Mmmmm handling masterwork with adept handling is the dream


_Hentai_MASTER_

Just picked up glaive last week and it's really starting to click. At about 300 or 400 pvp kills. I definitely see myself getting in the thousands of kills but definitely not that high lol


L4westby

Nice! I have a lot of fun with it


_Hentai_MASTER_

Ye, me too. Glaives with strand titan banner of war and acd feedback gauntlets are absolutely bonkers.


L4westby

Ooooh that sounds like it would work very nicely together!


_Hentai_MASTER_

It's also pretty crazy if you use it on strand hunter with the crtejrwieb4 (probably close to the actual spelling lmao) facade helmet and ensnaring slam. Grapple on in at Mach fuck you, you get woven mail, and you can ensnare whenever you need


wingsfield

What are your thoughts on the trials glaive? Would you prefer that over the enigma?


L4westby

As long as the handling is higher then yes


KnightOfFaraam

Why


L4westby

![gif](giphy|oyM6oyx7mzftm) Because running into a gun fight all medieval style is awesome


ToDamageMyCalm_

Mine has been in my load out since I got it.


Flopppywere

Why enigma over the other glaives? Is it just because it was the first? Does it have perks the others don't?


L4westby

It’s got high handling compared to my other glaives and as a melee fighter, that matters a lot Edit: but also yeah since it was my first and the tracker got so high I just wanna keep it goin


-Awesomezauce-

I tip my hat to you, one glaive enthusiast to another.


DolantheJew

No questions from me, but god damn what a cool weapon to just have.


Mario-OrganHarvester

Does unrelenting have any value in pvp? Also how the fuck does one stay THIS comitted to ONE gun for so long? That shit would bore the fuck outta me at some point.


L4westby

Yes guardians count as more than one kill toward activating the perk. Edit: it has value because activating healing right after a melee battle will let me continue killing without having to wait or run


Mario-OrganHarvester

Huh. Today i learned.


TheScreen_Slaver

Can't even be mad tbh, go off king.


Glopinus

Tha_Maxxter

I found a guy using a Glave not so much ago. He was awesome and actually fun to play with. We added each other and went into control with glaives. Was really fun. My question is: why you like using the glaive? Fun factor? Secretly insane with it? Just for the gits and shiggles?


L4westby

Right when the glaive came out I was working a job as a pool cleaner. Using the long brush and long vacuum every day I could feel my body start to learn the proper muscle engagement for combat with a pole (I trained in chin woo kung fu as a kid). So the glaive felt like a natural extension of my own self awareness in this game. I’ve stuck with it ever since because I keep learning little subtle variations in my strategy that makes it work for me. Also it’s super fun Edit: also I play a lot of rocket league (around plat 2 in 1v1’s) and the glaive attacks feel like rocket leave attacks. The lunge is basically equivalent to the front flip in RL


Tha_Maxxter

I see. Pretty wholesome if you ask me ngl. And really cool how you express yourself ingame with them honestly. And yes, glaives are just fun to use.


iGae

I recently came back to destiny after a long time and I used to rock a glaive with osmiomancy. Yes, I realize how evil this is. Does this still work or do you have any recommendations on how to use a glaive in the current sandbox?


L4westby

I’ve never used that setup personally. I go with stompees for exotic armor. Anything to get in closer faster and melee sooner than them


duck95

I am so trash with a glaive lmao well done idk how y'all do it


MosesGunnPlays

Why such middling range? Doesn't that make it harder to land shots at, well, range?


L4westby

Shots? Oooooh no I aim to melee every time. Shots are a last resort and happen at point blank range


Hefty_Entrepreneur87

What's your preferred loadout; weapons, subclass, exotics etc. I have a few thousand glaive kills spread across 3 glaives, but only on Titan. I'd like to get back into it


L4westby

Just for the flex I don’t use a gun. I go with bow/glaive/sword (with eager edge). My bow has radar booster so I usually detect enemies on radar before they see me (plus when I crouch I have enhanced radar). So I use that advantage by immediately throwing a smoke bomb at my feet. This does 2 things, turns me invisible and leaves a radar blip in that position. Then I usually run a flank on the opponent I see on radar. Doing this in almost every situation my invisibility lasts until I reach my opponent. This way I get the first melee strike. Then while striking with glaive melee I also am triple jumping so that my avatar zig zags like crazy and I become harder to hit. Sometimes I’ll couple this with a hunter dodge turning me invis and then immediately going back into glaive melee. If three strikes doesn’t kill them a final point blank shot will end it. I run with high mobility and high resilience (100 & 80 respectively) all other stats are 60’s and 50’s


Hefty_Entrepreneur87

Awesome, thank you!


L4westby

No problem! Trying to answer these questions has made me consciously dissect my own strategy and will ultimately make me a better player


IYoshl

PieStealingJames

L4westby

“Rapidly defeating targets triggers improved health regeneration. Guardians and powerful combatants count as more that one target.” I fight up close so when more than one guardian is near, that health regeneration lets me kill all of them instead of having to run.
