Best Melee Weapon Choices: Cryo War Glaive vs. Ultracite Terror Sword

-

Hey everyone! I’m currently running a Cryo War Glaive build and I’m curious about the best mods for a War Glaive. I’ve done some of my own testing, but I can’t seem to nail down a clear winner. I’m also wondering about the Ultracite Terror Sword—my tests suggest the War Glaive is better, but I could be mistaken. If you’ve used both, which do you think is better? Or is there another two-handed melee weapon that might be better? I’d rather avoid auto weapons since they’re not my style. Any insights would be greatly appreciated; it’s tough to find reliable info on this!

If you’re looking for an underrated two-handed option, I recommend the Crognak Axe. It’s just plain fun to use!

Ah, I remember using it back in the day! I switched to a sledgehammer eventually, but I’ll give the Crognak Axe another shot today. Thanks for the heads up!

I’ve been using a Cryo War Glaive for a while, and I think it’s fantastic as a two-hander. The Z63 might do slightly more damage, but I personally prefer the glaive. With a Cryo build, if I don’t take down an enemy in one hit (which is rare, since I have an instigating build with swing speed), the slow from cryo lets me get another swing in before they can retaliate. Plus, most enemies don’t resist cryo, so it works out well for me!

Looks like we agree on the War Glaive! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Have you tried the Electrified War Glaive? I think it’s got the highest raw damage among glaives, but it could be situational depending on what you’re facing.

Is it really just about the damage, or does it have any unique perks?
