"Deserters deserve only death, Summoner! Thanos knows of your betrayal, and I will be the one to bring him your bones!"
—Corvus Glaive[src]

Corvus Glaive is a Cosmic Champion. Being a Cosmic Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Tech Champions, but is weak to Mystic Champions.

Bio[]

Corvus Glaive is Thanos’ right-hand man and the sly, cunning lieutenant of his army. The only thing deadlier than this master strategist’s tactical mind is the halberd he yields to swiftly slice through his enemies.

Signature Ability[]

Glaive of Immortality - Passive

  • As long as Glaive's Immunity is active, Corvus Glaive cannot die. Instead of dying, 4 Glaive charges are removed. If Corvus performed a Well Timed Block against that attack, 2 Glaive charges are removed instead.
  • If Corvus is able to spend all of his Glaive charges in less than 30 seconds since they were first activated, the cooldown to get them back is reduced by X%.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Iceman, Morningstar
    • Corvus Glaive does not take damage from Coldsnap and Bleed when Glaive’s Immunity is active making him a natural counter to Iceman’s Coldsnap at the start of the fight and Morningstar’s Bleed when taking hits.

Weaknesses[]

  • Scarlet Witch (Classic), Groot
    • Champions who have abilities that activate when they take a Critical Hit will be one of Corvus Glaive’s weaknesses since he always inflicts Critical Hits with his Glaive attacks as long as he has Glaive charges.
  • Ebony Maw, Mister Sinister
    • Corvus won't be able to deal damage against Maw if his glaive is active, as Maw makes all guaranteed crits miss.
    • Sinister regens from critical strikes meaning Corvus won't do much damage.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Glass Cannon, Recoil, Double Edge
    • Corvus Glaive has really high damage output at the start of the fight, making him one of the best Champions in the game if you want to finish short to medium fights very fast. Pairing him up with those Masteries will enhance his ability to deal massive burst damage at the start of the fight.
    • Corvus Glaive does not take damage from Bleed effects as long as Glaive’s Immunity is active, getting the benefits of Double Edge but not taking Bleed Damage.
  • Willpower, Recovery
    • Corvus Glaive does not take damage from Bleed, Shock and Coldsnap, but the Debuff will still be active on him, enabling Willpower to recover Health. Recovery will increase the amount of Health regenerated by Willpower.
  • Courage
    • Corvus Glaive’s Signature Ability, Glaive of Immortality, allows him to stay at 1% health and not die while he still has his Glaive charges. Courage at max level will grant him 20% increase Attack Rating when he is below 50% Health.
