Early Game Top
By starting with a swift shooter you can easily clear jungle camps. If you start with a weapon blade im not gonna lie its actually a bit faster but having that extra attack speed is definitely worth it because you can add damage later. You will clear very fast so get the big minion and the two guys. If you have a jungler he'll get the other two and big guy. You will most likely be Lv 1 so after you clear walk over to your teamate; he should still be clearing because you will most definitely clear way faster. By walking over to him you'll get some of his Exp and be lv 2 :P.
You should definitely win your trades against anyone else that jungles. They dont expect a Glaive to chip them of there health and will continue to fight you. Spam your second skill when you can and use your first skill to knock them back if they try to run. This situation is 1v1 of course and if its a Catherine try and try to wait for her shield to go off then turn around and attack. getting boots is also a must because it allows you to stick on the enemy who will most likely not have them yet.
Going for a Sorrowblade first is good. You get that super early damage that you will definitely need. Tornado next is a must. That 75 % attack speed is so worth and it gives you crit chance and crit damage that goes with your skills.
I would also not recommend an energy battery because you dont need it. After a fight you can easily clear the camps and get your life back. Your energy can recharge fast enough for you to sustain for a very very very long forever. Always keep some potions on because you'll also need those ticking whenever you have lost some health. Potions are the key too.
By doing this you can easily gank the lane over and over. Try and push the enemy hero to your turret and allies. By securing a kill you and your laner/laners will be definitely ahead.
Mid game or So Top
By this point you should have your Sorrow Blade and Tornado Trigger. This is when you start to really shine and wow your opponents. You can easily burst enemy heroes down especially if they have no defensive items what so ever. Popping out of bushes and knocking and picking off enemy heroes is what you do. Initiating the fight is your job.
Even though your at this point you should definitely still clear camps. It gives you help on your stacks for your ult. (Every auto gains one stack up to a max of 20). The life steal from each stack also helps to sustain.
If your up against a Taka and he has low health and goes invisible, use your ult it'll still affect him and it has a low cooldown; the stacks is the only thing that needs a little time to get back. Your ult also has more range than you think. If the enemy is running and you now your ult can kill him and your second skill can't reach, use your ult. You will also gain an early level advantage by jungling a lot which does surprise people.
Late Game Top
Here you should definitely have at least two towers down. Depending on what happens you could definitely solo 2 enemy heroes. With this build and the way you play Glaive you should totally be at the top and a huge threat. You can literally solo turrets with your critical damage and attack speed making you a backdoor king and someone who can end the game whenever you want.
With Build #1 You get a lot of crit chance and damage
With Build #2 You get more attack speed allowing for more damage output in a shorter time with the added crit chance and bonus.
With Build #3 You get more immediate damage with another Sorrows blade.
Any of these final builds are fine. They all work somewhat the same. Best backdoor NA; you can also jump through walls using your first skill.Its not like Joule though, you can only go through skinnier walls not that are not as tall as the big huge walls dividing the vain crystal. This is a good technique to get away or engage or backdoor.
So this is my shredder Glaive Guide. You will literally destroy enemy heroes with your attack speed and major critical damage. Have fun and Good luck.]
Also dont be afraid to play Glaive. In a Couple of rounds You'll get the hang of him. I was really nervous trying him out to and with this build ive been super successful. :O
