NezuHimeSama Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I still see people recommending glaive for self damage, but I haven't been able to make it work since the animation updates, excluding some very rare freak accidents.

0 Epsik-kun Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 You throw the glave and explode it as soon as it leaves your hands. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Egg_Chen Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Throw it at the floor, works for me. Edited January 31, 2016 by Egg_Chen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Proxykon Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I modded my glaive with "Quick Return" and "Whirlwind" to return it quickly after just throwing it directly at the ground you are standing. It's working pretty good with Trinity and the Mod "Quick Thinking". This is the way you can easily achieve 99% dmg resistance blessings with her.

0 NezuHimeSama Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) How do you "explode" glaive? I never needed to do anything before, it just did it on it's own when it hit the ground at my feet. Now, it just bounces off the ground, doing all of jack and S#&$. Edit: triggering explosion seems to work when it wants to rather than when it's supposed to. Looks like having melee held still when you press channeling is why? Ugh, finnicky inputs yay. Never needed to do this before. Used to aim down with quick melee and it worked 95% of the time. Edited January 31, 2016 by NezuHimeSama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never needed to do anything before, it just did it on it's own when it hit the ground at my feet. Now, it just bounces off the ground, doing all of jack and S#&$. Ah, you're probably looking for "Power Throw". Put power throw and quick return in, so your glaive explodes on the first impact and comes back.

0 NezuHimeSama Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks, it seems to be working now. Never needed quick return before, though. Not sure why it's needed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RandOm3 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This method of self damage is pretty useful if you need to squeeze some energy out when your Warframe has the Rage mod. Better than the others (grenade launchers except the Tonkor), given some limiting as to how much damage you deal to self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Hortonman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks, it seems to be working now. Never needed quick return before, though. Not sure why it's needed now. The power throw explosion happens on the final impact before returning to you. Quick return ensures that it blows up right at your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
