Alright, my sweet summer children. It's time to get down and dirty with Lubrae's. You think this glaive is an offensive weapon? You think this is a tool for destruction? Think again. On the contrary, this is easily one of the highest survability weapons in the game - and it's legendary! Frankly, it's insane. But fine, let's talk about what you're probably looking at first.

Like me, you probably thought this glaive was going to be an offensive powerhouse. Graverobber + Swashbuckler? Why yes, it does work the way you think - glaive melee kills reload your mag and give you x5 Swash. Stab a red-bar, reload, and get 33% extra damage? Yeah. What about Vorpal? Flat 15% against majors and up. Easy damage boost. Heck - even surrounded works. 30% damage to ranged attacks when surrounded by enemies; Surrounded Spec brings it to 40% AND gives you a lingering 1.5s! Graverobber + Surrounded? Get me in there! If you get any of these rolls - celebrate and be happy.

Sadly, however, as of the time of this writing, glaive melee does not gain any benefit from damage boosting perks. While I've heard second hand reports that Bungie is looking into glaive melee perks, I have been unable to find any official confirmation of what that means. Will glaives be getting melee damage boosts? Will they be getting melee utility perks? Right now, only Bungie knows. If they do tweak glaives, I'll update my review - but Lubrae's already gets 5 stars.

See, glaive's aren't offensive weapons. They're weaker than shotguns, with difficult projectile lead time, slower rate of fire, and positively tragic range fall-off values. If you want a melee, high damage weapon, use a sword. Glaives, on the other hand, are defensive weapons. Enter, Lubrae's Ruin - specifically Immovable Object. While blocking (you must have some block energy) and standing still, any shots you fire that hit enemies grant increased block energy. Here's some napkin math:

This was tested by filling the Block Meter, blocking, and then firing 6 shots at Carl (The Nessus Cabal Colossus) while blocking to maintain block duration for as long as possible.
Lubrae's full block duration (55 Block Duration): 7.75 seconds of continuous blocking, no shots fired
68 Block Duration: 8.25~s
6 shots while blocking (55 Block) : 16~s
6 Shots (68 Block): 16.5~ s
6 Shots + Immovable: 21.5s
6 Shots + Enhanced Immovable: 22.5s
7 Shots + Enh I.O.: 24.5~s

While facing your enemy and blocking, incoming damage is reduced by an INSANE amount. Damage intake while blocking seemed variable, sometimes I would block and nothing would get by, sometimes chip damage would sneak in (still at 80% hp after 24s blocking). Either way, the total damage you take while blocking is reduced by upwards of 95% damage reduction AT LEAST.

So yes, Immovable Object is pretty nice. It seems that, despite the perk description, Enhanced Immovable Object has little benefit compared to the base version of the perk, especially factoring in the cost (12 Drowned Alloy per enhanced perk - oof). Seems you get the most benefit out of Immovable Object + Extended Mag + Backup Mag for 7 straight shots.


Tl;dr:
During Season of Suppressing Glaive: go wild with Graverobber + Swash / any damage perk. It's TONS of fun on Stylish Executioner Hunter for Perma-invis chains. Master Lost Sectors feel more Batman: Arkham Knight, or Assassin's Creed; it's wildly fun. Unstoppable Glaive pairs EXCELLENTLY with Vorpal - free damage boost to champs when stunning. Swap Mag is like built-in Quick Access Sling, and makes glaives easier to use.

But after Season of Suppressing Glaive, and in Master Raids + GM Nightfalls: Immovable Object (Just the base perk is fine unless you're swimming in mats) + Unstoppable Force. Extended Mag + Backup Mag for 7 Shots in the magazine, and Auxiliary Reserves for Shield Duration. Shield Duration Masterwork, and you're set! This pairs well with Glaive Holster on your legs to keep your ammo topped up, as Extended Mag destroys reload speed like Rhulk destroys Guardians. Similarly Unflinching Glaive might help you keep your reticle consistent when tanking Shriekers, Ogres, and Colossi.

Glaive Fun Facts!
All glaives seem to have a flat "Block Gauge" that fills in 6 shots, regardless of glaive type and RPM. Tested with Enigma, Lubrae, Concurrence, and Action. Still farming for Intent, :-(.
The glaive projectile can multi-hit enemies. Similarly, the projectile can "ghost" through enemies, hitting them, but not doing damage or giving block energy.
Learning Immovable Object has made me better at using Glaives the way Bungie intended. I might unironically try another Lubrae with Tilting at Windmills now that I know how strong blocking is. Spicy opinion of the day: Immovable Object should have been the default perk on Enigma to teach Guardians about the intended way to use Glaives.
Don't Glaive in PvP, this isn't Elden Ring

03/22/2022 Update, Hotfix 4.0.0.4: "All Glaives now reach full charge after four successful projectile hits instead of six."

Bungie has just pushed glaives even DEEPER into defensive territory, further cementing their status as defensive weapons. This hotfix has increased the amount of block energy gained per glaive projectile hit, while keeping total block energy and Block Duration stats unchanged. That means more blocking uptime for less investment. Obviously, this is a simple buff to exotic glaives, but a HUGE buff to Lubrae's. Frankly, this is getting towards overpowered territory, as it's easier to block, walk out of cover towards a revive, stop a moment to proc Immovable, fire one shot, then stagger step, keeping constant block uptime in high level content.

Previous Block Uptime was:
7 Shots + Enhanced Immovable Object + Shield Duration of 68: ~24.5s of continuous blocking.
Current Block Uptime with new hotfix
7 Shots + Enhanced Immovable Object + Shield Duration of 68: ~32s of continuous blocking.

32 seconds. That's only 3 seconds shy of Rhulk's entire damage phase (35s), twice as long as Rhulk's Last Stand (15s). And we just got that for free.

Glaives are defensive weapons. Lubrae's is the all-time champion of defense with Immovable Object. It's a legendary. Five stars. Bungie could have made melee damage work with damage perks, but instead they made blocking easier. After listening to the cries of the community to buff underpowered glaives - Bungie made them stronger defensive weapons. I don't know what could be more clear: Glaives are for defense.

Of course, I'm still going to hold on to my Graverobber + Swashbuckler, but any Master and GM content will be Immovable Object all the way.

This changed the way I play with glaves for the better. I use it for absolute defense when rezzing, like a turrent. Mine rolled with immovable object and swashbuckler so it works really well for the playstyle. Get melee kill, stare down ogre while blocking/shooting, repeat. It takes the agro away from my teammates while I only take minor damage. Thanks for the review.

honestly for high level content i'd reccomend immovable object+unstoppable force to become the wombo combo shield man, able to hold that shield for really long, with all other shield perks but for most other things? by far, the best roll for me personally HAS to be grave robber swash. it just has way too much synergy within itself. really solid, for me at least it's better than enigma by a longshot. i am however slightly dissapointed it's not the raid exotic. as it's the boss' weapon for crying out loud. for pve this thing is a 9/10. you have to be slightly insane to use it in pvp.

Was very excited to get one with Surrounded only to find out it doesn’t work with the melee damage from the glaive. Which likely means Swashbuckler doesn’t work either. If they ever update the glaive melee to work with these perks, this will be fantastic. As of now though, it’s just a pretty good glaive.

Overall a solid choice for PvE. There are some unique options that you can really utilize here to give you an edge when compared to our other glaive options. Grave Robber and Unstoppable Force pair incredibly well here. Need to push up and get a revive in a spot that is being pounded by the enemy? Throw up the glaive shield and start firing to get more shield energy and 30% more projectile damage from blocking damage. Enemy pushes up and your low on ammo? Melee with the glavie, get an instant mag refill with grave robber and keep going. The offensive and defensive plays you can make in PvE are pretty wild. Pair the glaive shield with tier 10 resilience (40% damage reduction as of season 17) and you are almost unkillable in even Legend or Master tier content. Out of all the glaives, this is the one to aim for.

Welcome to Prismatic! The Final Shape Season that came out in June 2024! Oh Boy, so many changes came out with new nerfs, but now we have new abilities to provide you with massive buffs. This review focuses on the Crayon Eaters with the exotic armor pants called "The Path of Burning Steps," Burning Maul, with Consecration.

Here it is: Low-Impedance Windings | Swap Mag | Enhanced Immovable Object | Enhanced Bait & Switch, Master Work Handling, MOD: Quick Access Sling, giving you 20% Ready & Stow speed (totality).

Your focus is close combat melee mods on your armor; your other two weapons should also have high handling. And your helmet should have two special ammo finders. It doesn't hurt to have your team invest in special ammo scout on their helmets since this would pair with "The Call" as a double special loadout. "The Call" Loadout pairing: Volatile Launch | High-Explosive Ordinance | Enhanced Lead From Gold | Enhanced One For All. Remember to focus your mod sockets on Melee and hot-swapping weapons for Bait & Switch. Bait & Switch was significantly buffed recently, giving you 30%; shoot the glaive and swipe the glaive; I have my mouse wheel setup with up and down as my melee Glaive attack and number keys up above my "W" as my weapon switching. I suggest putting on Tractor Cannon as your exotic Heavy to give a weakening effect, thus causing more damage with your glaive with Bait and switch. Or go Witherhoard in Kinetic and Linear in the heavy slot (Cataclysmic, [solar], with Bait & Switch). With the new buffs and a little practice, you should be a pro, and in no time, you should be able to solo Master Flawless Lost Sectors.
