https://overframe.gg/build/248896/glaive-prime/not-everything-needs-to-be-level-cap/

Before we start. First, this is NOT A HEAVY BUILD. Second, I strictly play the [Glaive] as a throw weapon. Third, the damage from this is from the explosion of [Volatile Quick Return]. Fourth, I play this with gladiator [Helios] (swap [Spoiled Strike] or Body Count for Gladiator's Might, if needed). Lastly, this is meant to be played in dual wield mode alongside a status-applying secondary.

So, here is my Ultimate Glaive setup that I made/use. This is a VERY strong build. In the simulacrum, I was able to hit a high of 32 million damage and a consistent 10+ million (with Warframe setup). Naturally, that won't be the exact same numbers you will be pulling mid-mission. However, that does not make this build/weapon any less powerful. This is THE strongest weapon I have ever tested in the simulacrum.

Let me go over why I chose the mods that I did:

CONDITION OVERLOAD was chosen 'cause this is played with a status-applying secondary. The best secondary for this is [Kuva Nukor] which applies three statuses with ease across multiple enemies. On top of that, if the explosion of the [Glaive] does not kill enemies (which it will), then it will 100% proc two extra statuses. Bringing the total of just those two build-based weapons to +600% damage. This does not include any extra status from frame abilities or other sources. Which also increase that number.

[Blood Rush] is chosen because of the critical chance bonus with the combo multiplier. Simple enough. Again, this is a combo build.

AMALGAM ORGAN SHATTER was chosen because we need critical damage AND the Glaive throw speed is affected by heavy attack wind-up. The quicker we can throw out the [Glaive] the better.

[Spoiled Strike] was chose because of the +100% damage (amazing) AND the [Glaive] throw speed is NOT affected by attack speed.

CORROSIVE DAMAGE SETUP was chosen because when it comes to weapons that you want to one-hit-kill, corrosive is usually the best option for this. Also, we're pairing this weapon with viral stacks from our secondary (more on that below). Before you ask, yes, I did try both viral and corrosive on both weapons. This is the best output.

[Body Count] was chosen because, as a throwing weapon, it can be a little difficult to keep up combo. Especially if you miss your throw. Why not [Drifting Contact]? Because, we don't need extra status on the [Glaive] itself. If you are running Naramon, swap this for [Primed Pressure Point].

[Volatile Quick Return]... you know why.

So, for secondary setup, the absolute best weapon for this is [Kuva Nukor]. If you do not have one then other good options are Nukor, Zakti Prime, basically anything that has high status that you can apply quickly AND that you can one-hand (so no [Pox]). You basically want to build them to apply statuses as fast as possible. So, multishot, firerate, +100% status, etc. With just a second of holding my Kuva Nukor, enemies get a full 10 stacks of viral (which is +325% extra health damage). This is MUCH better/stronger than having corrosive applied.

Pro Tip: You can now queue up [Glaive] throws! This is a very good thing to learn to do. However, if you're not careful, it can mess up your combo. Basically, if you hold E while it's still flying through the air, it will go ahead and queue your next throw. The best time to hold E is once you see the [Glaive]'s explosion OR the [Glaive] is on its way back to you. Pressing E before this will detonate it (i.e., heavy attack) causing you to lose your combo multiplier.

Common questions:

What can I swap for my riven mod? [Spoiled Strike] or [Body Count] (if using Naramon)

Why not [Killing Blow]? Does not affect explosion damage

Why not [Power Throw]? Does not affect explosion damage

Why not Gladiator's Might? This is actually a good choice! Swap out [Spoiled Strike] or [Body Count] for it (depending on your setup). The reason I do not have it is because I use [Helios Prime] with the gladiator set.

Can I use [Organ Shatter] instead? Yes, you can. However, the throw will not be as quick. You would have diminishing returns.

Any other questions I will be happy to answer!
