Glaive

The Glaive is exactly what a wise blacksmith would invent by putting a sword on the end of a staff: a heavy polearm with long reach and real stopping power. Its three-swing combo lands 28 damage per hit for 66 total, backed by a massive 1,000 knockback that sends enemies flying.

In testing it measured around 295 damage per second with jump-cancelling and Lightning Surge, placing it in C tier. Its notable quirk is a damage bonus against full-health enemies — useful for opening engagements, though testers noted the bonus rarely swings a fight on its own. With 3.5 blocks of reach and heavy weight, it plays as a deliberate, spacing-focused weapon for Tank archetypes rather than a frantic one.

The Glaive drops in Frozen Highlands, Howling Woods, and Ravines. If you find yourself wanting the same polearm fantasy with more flair, watch for its unique variant, the Golden Glaive.

Build-wise, the Glaive suits players who like to control distance and open on fresh targets before switching tools. Through enchanting, on-hit and opening-strike effects fit its rhythm. For a heavier-hitting unique staff with elemental tricks, the Elemental Staff is the natural step up.
