Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single target DPS calculations. Note that hits marked as "Slam Attacks" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in avg dmg multi/s calculations. Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second.

Notes

• Many of the attacks do bonus physical damage, i.e.  Impact,  Puncture, and  Slash damage.
  • The last attack of Mercury Vortex does 10% bonus physical damage.
  • The second attack of Ruin (While Moving version) does 25% bonus physical damage.
  • The third attack of Ruin (While Blocking version) does 10% bonus physical damage.
• Allows you to throw the glaive while sliding, even while Aim Gliding

Acquisition

• Leech Ospreys are a relatively uncommon enemy, making this rare mod hard to find.
  • Gleaming Talon was also a reward on a 24-hour alert on Friday, 12 September 2014 as part of the Back To School Special Alert Week.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), Ruin was actually the default combo for Glaive weapons when no stances are equipped.
