Looking at Thrown comparison, you can see that, in the beginning, it was between Glaive and Kestrel, with latter being a bit faster, but Glaive being stronger, which, in the end, was usually better(higher special attacks). Then Glaive Prime was released, and set a benchmark with large speed bonus. However, some time later - Halikar was out, and did pretty much everything Glaive does, but with AoE and status advantage. It's a shame that devs vaulted Glaive not as a cash cow, but as a useless weapon, replacing with fuck knows what.

None of these weapons were crit-viable, which is the modern level of DPS, so now with Orvius and Cerata being out, we can seethat Orvius tried to be a slower hardhitter, with base and special damage.

But Cerata - turned out to be the final evolution of Glaive. Good crit, status, speed, same 35 damage - beating every other Thrown weapon. There is no way that this average "out of nowhere" weapon would get any boost.

Thrown weapons were always shit, outclassed by proper melees, and now, to be frant, VASTLY outclassed by gunblades. But if there is any buff, it's in the newer weapon, like Orvius Prime or some Mutalist Cerata.
