A full Glaive melee combo can trigger a Volatile chain reaction, clearing entire control points. And remember that the seasonal mods for Glaives, Hold the Line and No Bell, are active in the crucible. Glaive kills heal you. Rapid Glaive melee kills generate ammo. Blocking damage grants an 85% melee buff that stacks with Close to Melee. If you’re prismatic, you can ditch the Glaive and just use a powered melee, or combine Phoenix dive with weaver’s call/hellion.

Also, a reminder that Glaives were heavily reworked this season, with the biggest changes pertaining to their projectiles. Your shots will now home in on enemies, meaning that Range is no longer the stat that you want to max. Too much Range can cause the homing to overcompensate, especially if you’re leading your shots. Keep your range around 60-70, and put the rest of your stats into shield duration and handling. Swap mag is also a good choice over accurized rounds.
