From the Start Top

As soon as the game loads you snach up the sprinting boots and go straight for the opponents jungle and target the two neutral characters closest to the Jungke Shop. Then back to the two on your side. (Attack the smaller one first allowing Glaive to land a hit, then use your "Twisted Stoke" ability. It will only take Glaive one other hit to take him out.) This bold initial attack will give you the boost you need to stay ahead in the game. Afterwards the jungleing is all up to you, you can double-team the opponents jungle from the beginning, shutting them out and maintaining control from the start or just stay out of singht in yours but always make sure your getting EXP. That's what makes you character stronger compared to the opposing, trust me it makes the difference.

Keep Going Top

Sometimes this build has a slow apart. It will have a slow start if you are just getting pounded. Let's face it we've all had that game where either your team sucks or the other team is just too good and you're not getting enough money to really move on. Well this build really kicks in if you keep going. If you are persistent in the end no matter how much better yoe opposition has been, the Golden Glaive Build will come out dealing the dammage.

And never surrender, even if the game seems like you can't keep going because like previously stated this build gets better.

Final Build Options for the Golden Glaive Build Top

One very unique aspect about this build, the Golden Glaive build, is the fact that the final build has an open slot for your personal preferences. It can be used for powerful upgrades or even consumables. The open slot is great for the situational game changes. Personally the "Serpent Mask" or the "Tyrant's monocle" work best but if I'm correct the aftershock would be even better. I haven't been able to try it myself but comment on wich ones worked best for You.

I didn't include the "Frostburn" because... Because it is an extra expense that's not exactly necessary. I found that there are other big key skills that would make better use of the gold. Of course near the end of the game when you have all that extra money it's definitely worth it but not any time sooner.

Comment what do you think? Suggestions?

Tactics Top

Golden Glaive is meant to start in the forest but about mid game start popping out on the Lane because he has a huge intimidation factor on all the opposing sniper-class opponents on the lane. It will definitely make them second guess an attack. Keep an eye upon the mini map and watch for little clusters of minions on the Lane, if not too far out of your way go to the cluster and use your "Bloodsong" ability and your sure to make bank in that manner. This Glaive also has speed to him, he's really good for backup, also good for a quick in-n-out mine steal. Glaive's ability can be used on the Lane to quickly get on the other side of an enemy and push them into an aly turret to help you take them up out.

TRY IT OUT!! IT WORKS!! Top
