A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range. View Full Legend Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations. Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations. Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second. Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart. Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

Notes

• Many of the attacks do bonus physical damage, i.e.  Impact,  Puncture, and  Slash damage.
  • The last attack of Mercury Vortex does 10% bonus physical damage.
  • The second attack of Ruin (While Moving version) does 25% bonus physical damage.
  • The third attack of Ruin (While Blocking version) does 10% bonus physical damage.
• Allows you to throw the glaive while sliding, even while Aim Gliding

Acquisition

• Leech Ospreys are a relatively uncommon enemy, making this rare mod hard to find.
  • Gleaming Talon was also a reward on a 24-hour alert on Friday, 12 September 2014 as part of the Back To School Special Alert Week.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), Ruin was actually the default combo for Glaive weapons when no stances are equipped.
