NotesEdit

• While many of Gleaming Talon's combos involve it throwing the weapon at hand, Channeling while the weapon is in mid-air will not activate the airburst function of said weapons.
• The second hit of Mercury Vortex, which is a ranged throw of the weapon, has 100% chance to inflict Impact proc.
• Falling Star's AOE explosion can no longer be done without Power Throw.

TipsEdit

• The last spinning hit of Silver Reach can be swept to cover an arc by moving the camera, making the disc sweep horizontally before it detonates to deal knockback.
• Mercury Vortex can be easily executed by holding down the   key and pressing the E  button in sequence.
• Using Power Throw with Quick Return will increase the AOE explosion by 100%.

Acquisition Edit

• 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.

TriviaEdit

• Ruin is actually the default combo for Glaive weapons when no stances are equipped.
