Kestrel has quite low damage, even for a Glaive. its usefulness comes from ragdolling on throw and its large slam attack knockdown, but you mostly need to pair it with other weapons to do the killing.

Glaive Prime does a lot more damage and is faster if you use it for regular melee attacks, overall a more versatile weapon imo. For the lack of a syndicate augment: Just actively equip a primary/secondary weapon with a syndicate effect and use quick melee th throw, that's also faster as you won't do that useless single swing before actually throwing the Glaive.

I always use Quick Return + Power Throw on Glaives, Rebound is very unreliable imo (often hits nothing after the initial target) and takes a long time until you can throw again.
