Glaive
The glaive is a Two-Handed weapon added by Spartan Weaponry, with stronger variants included by Spartan Fire. It has a mediocre DPS, only being higher than the Greatsword. It makes up for this deficit with both the Reach I and Sweep II traits, making it uniquely powerful at keeping groups of enemies at bay. Being two-handed, the player cannot hold an item in the off hand lest they suffer from mining fatigue III and a 25% damage penalty (unless they are a titan, in which case the debuffs are nullified).
Due to its low single-target DPS, the glaive is not generally recommended as a primary weapon, as it is more suited as a crowd-control tool. It is important to note that the sweep effect occurs around the target instead of the player. This means that the player can hit closely grouped enemies at the maximum range of the weapon.
Crafting
All glaives require a Pole and 3 pieces of the desired material, with one place horizontally adjacent to the pole and two in the spaces above it. Spartan Fire weapons require a Witherbone Pole instead of a basic Pole, with the exception of steel.
