Glaives are unlike any other weapon ever seen in the Destiny universe, and while one could argue they still need more fine-tuning, they can still be extremely fun (and effective, when used right).
This guide covers all Glaives in Destiny 2 and their best rolls for PvE and PvP.

Top Tier Glaives (Episode 1)
This Tier list features the best Exotic and Legendary Glaives right now:
Item | Weapons | Type | Archetype | Ammo? | Element? | Requirements | In loot pool? | Rank | Source | Available? | Tier rank | Source ❘ DLC | Final Verdict | Released | Perks | Best of? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Unexpected Resurgence | Unexpected Resurgence Glaive | Glaive | Adaptive | Special | Arc | The Final Shape | Yes | S › Best | Trials of Osiris | Best ❘ S Excels in: | Trials of Osiris The Final Shape | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Adaptive PvE God Roll: Subsistence (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Close to Melee (also good: Voltshot) PvP God Roll: Impulse Amplifier + Surrounded (also good: Unstoppable Force) ► Unexpected Resurgence does its best to excel in The Crucible, but as with all other glaives, the main draw to this weapon is in PvE. With solid perks like Close to Melee and even Voltshot, this glaive is relatively unique compared to other options. While it's not worth running for those not into glaives, we'd highly recommend this to anyone trying to dive further into this weapon type. | Season 21 | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Adaptive PvE God Roll: Subsistence (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Close to Melee (also good: Voltshot) PvP God Roll: Impulse Amplifier + Surrounded (also good: Unstoppable Force) | Top-tier | |
Greasy Luck | Greasy Luck Glaive | Glaive | Rapid-Fire | Special | Solar | Lightfall Dungeon Key | Yes | S › Best | Ghost of the Deep Dungeon | Best ❘ S Excels in: | Ghost of the Deep Dungeon Lightfall Dungeon Key | Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvE God Rolls: Replenishing Aegis (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Close to Melee (also good: Incandescent) PvP God Rolls: Impulse Amplifier (also good: Killing Wind) + Unstoppable Force (also good: Collective Action) ► Compared to most of its competition, Greasy Luck is exceptionally well-rounded. With Close to Melee or Incandescent for PvE and Impulse Amplifier and Unstoppable Force for PvP, this weapon's only downside is that glaives are intrinsically weak. | Season 21 | Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvE God Rolls: Replenishing Aegis (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Close to Melee (also good: Incandescent) PvP God Rolls: Impulse Amplifier (also good: Killing Wind) + Unstoppable Force (also good: Collective Action) | Top-tier | |
Albedo Wing | Albedo Wing Glaive | Glaive | Aggressive | Special | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Event: Dawning | Best ❘ S Excels in: | Event: Dawning Free-to-Play | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Aggressive PvE God Rolls: Grave Robber (also good: Beacon Rounds) + Close to Melee (also good: Demolitionist) PvP God Rolls: Beacon Rounds + Close to Melee ► Albedo Wing has a fair bit going for it, especially for a weapon only available for a handful of weeks each year. From new and unique perks such as Beacon Rounds to favorites that have cemented themselves as no-brainers for glaive users (Close to Melee), this is arguably one of the most well-rounded glaives out there. | Season 23 | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Aggressive PvE God Rolls: Grave Robber (also good: Beacon Rounds) + Close to Melee (also good: Demolitionist) PvP God Rolls: Beacon Rounds + Close to Melee | Top-tier | |
Judgment of Kelgorath | Judgment of Kelgorath Glaive | Glaive | Aggressive | Special | Solar | The Witch Queen | Yes | S › Best | Operation: Seraph's Shield | Best ❘ S Excels in: | Operation: Seraph's Shield Witch Queen | Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Aggressive PvE God Rolls: Overflow (also good: Demolitionist) + Close to Melee (also good: Incandescent) ► Because of Close to Melee in the final column, Judgment of Kelgorath immediately cemented a solid fanbase upon release. The considerable negative here is that Demolitionist doesn't proc on glaive melee kills, so this glaive's synergy with builds isn't all that great. | Season 19 | Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Aggressive PvE God Rolls: Overflow (also good: Demolitionist) + Close to Melee (also good: Incandescent) | Top-tier | |
Ecliptic Distaff | Ecliptic Distaff Glaive | Glaive | Adaptive | Special | Void | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Playlist: Pursuit | Strong ❘ A Excels in: | Playlist: Pursuit Free-to-Play | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Adaptive PvE Fixed Roll: Replenishing Aegis + Close to Melee (also good: Destabilizing Rounds) ► Typically, ritual weapons like Ecliptic Distaff release weaker than their randomly-rolled counterparts. Luckily, for this glaive, that isn't the case. Close to Melee makes the weapon feel so much more consistent, while Destabilizing Rounds is the perfect pairing for any Void build. | Season 20 | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Adaptive PvE Fixed Roll: Replenishing Aegis + Close to Melee (also good: Destabilizing Rounds) | Top-tier | |
Forthcoming Deviance | Forthcoming Deviance Glaive | Glaive | Rapid-Fire | Special | Void | The Final Shape | Yes | A › Strong | Salvation's Edge Raid | Strong ❘ A Excels in: | Salvation's Edge Raid The Final Shape | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvE God Roll: Reconstruction or Replenishing Aegis + Chaos Reshaped or Desperate Measures ► While glaives have never really been a meta pick, Forthcoming Deviance is pretty solid for what it is. With perks that are both novel and potent, the weapon is sure to satisfy avid glaive users. | The Final Shape | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvE God Roll: Reconstruction or Replenishing Aegis + Chaos Reshaped or Desperate Measures | Top-tier |

Best D2 Glaives Today
Ready to dig deeper into the absolute best glaives in Destiny 2 right now? These are the cream of the crop, our favorites (for PvE and PvP):
5. Forthcoming Deviance
Excels in PvE
Coming from a raid and DLC with an otherwise solid set of weapons, you’d expect Forthcoming Deviance to be the best glaive to date. Sadly, this isn’t the case.
With a variety of both build-centric and inherently powerful perks in both columns, Forthcoming Deviance has no issue appealing to a large PvE crowd. Even so, many of these perks are available on other glaives as well, not to mention that Void-centric perks tend to be weaker than their Arc and Solar counterparts (compare Destabilizing Rounds with Incandescent or Voltshot, for instance).
Overall, Forthcoming Deviance is a solid option, especially if you’re looking for something with Void synergy. However, unlike some of the higher-ranked options on this list, the weapon is unlikely to convert any players to avid glaive users anytime soon. These are the top Forthcoming Deviance God Rolls:
- PvE God roll: Reconstruction or Replenishing Aegis + Chaos Reshaped or Desperate Measures
How to get it: Forthcoming Deviance can be acquired from the Salvation’s Edge Raid.

4. Judgment of Kelgorath
Excels in PvE
Judgment of Kelgorath was arguably the first glaive to cause waves—albeit small ones—throughout the entire community upon release.
Because it primarily excels in PvE, Kelgorath’s best final column perks are Incandescent and Close to Melee. Incandescent provides obvious synergy with Solar subclasses, while Close to Melee is the glaive perk to look out for overall.
Comparatively, Judgment of Kelgorath’s first column of main perks is lacking. Demolitionist seems like an outstanding choice at first, but it sadly doesn’t proc on glaive melee final blows. Beyond that, Overflow will be your best choice, but that isn’t saying much. As a whole, this perk pool is vastly outclassed by ones of newer picks like Unexpected Resurgence and Greasy Luck.
When it comes down to it, Judgment of Kelgorath is a good pick for those wanting to run a glaive. Some people swear that it’s the best glaive to date. However, when taking a greater look into what each option has to offer, some objectively better picks are available.
- PvE God roll: Overflow (also good: Demolitionist) + Close to Melee (also good: Incandescent)
How to get it: Judgment of Kelgorath can be acquired from the Operation: Seraph’s Shield Exotic Mission.

3. Greasy Luck
Excels in PvE and PvP
Greasy Luck was incredibly overlooked upon the release of Ghosts of the Deep, likely because glaives have a poor reputation in the community. However, Greasy Luck is one of the best glaives we’ve seen thus far and can excel just about anywhere.
Replenishing Aegis, Lead from Gold, and Impulse Amplifier are all top-tier picks for PvE in the first column. In the second, the typical Incandescent and Close to Melee choices will serve you well. You can feel the final column perks working in moment-to-moment gameplay, and they’re supported perfectly by the more neutral picks of the previous column.
In PvP, Impulse Amplifier is the strongest perk in the first column, making aiming projectiles significantly easier. Unstoppable Force and Collective Action are our picks in the second column, but they don’t do much here. We’d typically recommend choosing a different weapon type for PvP if this is the best glaive you can get.
To those who have given it a try, Greasy Luck has revealed just how much potential glaives have. While they’re unlikely to be Meta in the foreseeable future, running some of the better ones—such as Greasy Luck—every once in a while can be fun. These are the top Greasy Luck God Rolls:
- PvE God roll: Replenishing Aegis (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Close to Melee (also good: Incandescent)
- PvP God roll: Impulse Amplifier (also good: Killing Wind) + Unstoppable Force (also good: Collective Action)
How to get it: Greasy Luck can be acquired from the Ghost of the Deep Dungeon.

2. Albedo Wing
Excels in PvE and PvP
In what is likely a surprise to everyone, Albedo Wing is one of the best weapons in the game as a result of its diverse and unique perk selections.
Grave Robber and Close to Melee both steal the show here. While they aren’t necessarily anything new, there’s no doubt that both of these perks elevate any weapon they’re featured on to the next level.
Also worth mentioning are Demolitionist and Beacon Rounds. While both aren’t better than the potent perks we brought up earlier, they’re unique and powerful enough to warrant use in special cases (namely PvP, at least for Beacon Rounds).
Overall, Albedo Wing is a generally solid option that excels in all the ways you’d expect it to. The only thing it lacks is the top-tier buildcrafting synergy we’ve come to expect from meta weapons—and there’s one more glaive that has just that. These are the top Albedo Wing God Rolls:
- PvE God roll: Grave Robber (also good: Beacon Rounds) + Close to Melee (also good: Demolitionist)
- PvP God roll: Beacon Rounds + Close to Melee
How to get it: Albedo Wing can only be acquired during the Dawning event, Destiny 2’s Winter event.

1. Unexpected Resurgence
Excels in PvE and PvP
While most Trials of Osiris players were disappointed to see a glaive enter the loot pool, what came out of it is arguably the best glaive to date.
The existence of Close to Melee in Unexpected Resurgence’s perk pool already makes it viable in PvE. While you still won’t see anyone doing crazy damage to a boss with this weapon, it’s a relatively powerful pick for low to mid-tier enemies and combat encounters. Unexpected Resurgence also has a wide variety of other top-tier perks for PvE (Subsistence, Voltshot, etc.), so this glaive is nearly guaranteed to have something for everyone.
Being a Trials Glaive, it makes sense that Unexpected Resurgence is also pretty powerful in The Crucible. Impulse Amplifier, Unstoppable Force, and Surrounded are all outstanding picks, collectively making Unexpected Resurgence the best glaive in PvP by a wide margin.
While Unexpected Resurgence’s strengths won’t create a glaive meta on their own, they are enough to make this a solid weapon for all areas of the game. If you love how glaives feel, this is the best one you can use right now.
- PvE God roll: Subsistence (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Close to Melee (also good: Voltshot)
- PvP God roll: Impulse Amplifier + Surrounded (also good: Unstoppable Force)
How to get it: Unexpected Resurgence is a Trials of Osiris Weapon that can be acquired from Trials completions, Engrams, and/or rank-ups.

Glaives and the PvP Meta: TTK
We covered which specific Glaives are considered top-tier (and should be farmed) and which can be safely ignored. But how do they compare, in general, to other Special weapons in PvP?
Weapon Type | Rank | Tier | Trend | Role ❘ Current State | Category |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Shotguns | S › Best | Best ❘ S | - | ► With the introduction of fixed (and consistent) pellet spread patterns per archetype and the reversal of some widely disliked nerfs, Shotguns are finally back. With consistent changes in the right direction, Shotguns are once more a staple pick among many PvP players. ► Best Archetype: Precision (65 RPM) - Example: Matador 64 | PVP Specials |
Fusion Rifles | S › Best | Best ❘ S | - | ► Fusion Rifles have been at the top of the meta for a while now, and it doesn't seem to be changing. Fusions can cover the close to medium ranges excellently, and a good Fusion Rifle player can be incredibly frustrating to play against, no matter the range of the engagement. ► Best Archetype: Precision (780ms Charge Time) - Example: Main Ingredient | PVP Specials |
Sniper Rifles | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A | ► Sniper Rifles are still remarkably powerful, but due to certain flinch changes, they've become slightly harder to use. All this, as well as how strong certain Shotguns are, it's natural for Snipers to fall down a tier, but they are still strong, especially in Trials of Osiris. ► Best Archetype: Adaptive (90 RPM)- Example: Beloved | PVP Specials | |
Linear Fusion Rifles | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A | - | ► The special ammo Linear Fusion category of weapon is rather barren, but the two weapons that occupy it, Arbalest and Lorentz Driver, are both forces to be reckoned with. While they have received some deserved nerfs throughout Seasons 17-19, they remain a solid choice for many players wanting a long range option. | PVP Specials |
Trace Rifles | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► Trace Rifles are quite a niche pick and will fall short as a competitive option in most players' hands. Even once you learn to master Trace Rifles, you'll be better off with a Special weapon that can provide a one-hit-kill t rather than one that can be out-dueled by a Primary weapon. ► All Archetypes are 1000 RPM - Best Option: Coldheart | PVP Specials |
Glaives | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► With their buffs in Season 19 and the hit registration improvements they've seen, Glaives can be quite annoying to play against. That said, they are outclassed by other mid/long range options and can't compete at close range due to their lackluster melee. ► Best Archetype: Adaptive (55 RPM)- Example: The Enigma | PVP Specials |
Grenade Launchers | C › Weak | Weak ❘ C | - | ► Grenade Launchers are annoying to play against, and that's about it. They can be used in a hot-swap loadout, but you'll be better served by a Bow like Le Monarque. Grenade launchers can put pressure on your enemies, but they can't bring the heat like some other Special Weapons can. ► Best Archetype: Lightweight - Example: Truthteller | PVP Specials |
Remember that when it comes to PvP, TTK is perhaps the most important factor. As you know, the lower the TTK, the faster you can kill your opponent. We have aTTK guide/chart that includes TTK figures, but that mostly applies to Primary weapons, not Specials.
For PvP, you want a Special weapon that can consistently get you a one-hit kill. Glaives are certainly a niche choice, mainlybecause shotguns, the most-used Special weapons for PvP, received several nerfs last year. Still, if you lean into the right playstyle, Glaives can be fun and lethal.
Glaives and the PvE Meta: DPS
How do Glaives compare to other Special weapons in PvE?
Weapon Type | Rank | Tier | Trend | Role ❘ Current State | Category |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fusion Rifles | S › Best | Best ❘ S | ►Fusion Rifles are brilliant right now. Outside of Sniper Rifles, Fusion Rifles are the traditional 'backup damage' weapons due to options like Scatter Signal or Cartesian Coordinate. On top of this, you can use Fusions like Riptide for some utility instead, or even Merciless as a unique burst DPS option. ► Best Archetype: Rapid-Fire (500ms Charge Time) - Example: Scatter Signal | PVE Specials | |
Sniper Rifles | S › Best | Best ❘ S | ► Sniper Rifles have continued to grow into a strong Special Weapon subtype. With options like The Supremacy, Ikelos Sniper Rifle, and Still Hunt, it's very common for Sniper Rifles to be included in DPS rotations. ► Best Archetype: Rapid-Fire (140 RPM) - Example: Supremacy | PVE Specials | |
Shotguns | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A | ► Shotguns are pretty decent right now. Slug Shotguns aren't as strong as they once were, and Shotguns have mostly been demoted to being a funnel for One-Two Punch Melee builds. However, they are definitely still capable, and can be used in a general loadout. ► Best Archetype: Lightweight (90 RPM) - Example: Wastelander M5 | PVE Specials | |
Grenade Launchers | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A | ► Grenade Launchers are brilliant right now. They are versatile and are arguably the best pick in almost all areas. GLs have excellent ad control through Blinding Grenades or Wave Frame GLs like Forbearance, and they also have good boss damage in certain hot-swap builds due to Spike Grenades. Simply put, having a strong arsenal of Grenade Launchers is something you should definitely try to do as a player looking to get into high-level content. ► Best Archetype: Wave-Frame - Example: Forbearance | PVE Specials | |
Trace Rifles | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► With the nerfs to the double-special ammo economy, Trace Rifles have been knocked down a notch. Using a Primary weapon is just more efficient these days. However, they remain solid utility weapons and a go-to if players still want to run double-special lodouts. They also have a couple of solid Exotic options too, making them a decent pick right now. | PVE Specials |
Glaives | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► Glaives require a bit of getting used to, but when you do, they can grant you crazy levels of damage resistance. However, they are quite a risky pick, especially if you haven't learned how to master them first. Glaives are also one-dimensional. There is basically no reason to use their melee attack, which is unfortunate as that is probably the most fun part of the Glaives. ► Best Archetype: Adaptive (55 RPM) - Example: The Enigma | PVE Specials |
Linear Fusion Rifles | C › Weak | Weak ❘ C | - | ► Linear Fusion Rifles are difficult to rank as there are only two of them. While Arbalest is definitely a powerful weapon, it is by no means a must-pick anymore. And Lorentz Driver isn't exactly a serious contender for PvE. Overall, this archetype is quite weak, especially now that Arbalest isn't the top-pick it used to be. | PVE Specials |
Remember that DPS is one of the most important factors concerning PvE. As you know, the higher the DPS, the more damage you can deal to a Boss or Major. This D2 DPS chart includes the DPS numbers for every weapon in Destiny 2.
When it comes to actual DPS numbers, Glaives are average:
- | Weapon Type | Archetype | Sustained DPS | Mag DPS | Total Damage | Specs | --- | Best in Class | Change? | Ammo |
