Not only did glaives get buffed, but the perks rolling here can turn it into a kill-chaining machine that puts other glaives to shame.

How good is Refusal of the Call

Refusal of the Call is arguably the best glaive we’ve seen thanks to the Discord and Sword Logic combo. Discord refunds Special ammo on kills while active, which pairs excellent with Sword Logic’s escalating damage buff. Even if you’re not able to reach the max stacks, killing an elite gives you a solid 25% damage buff which can be refreshed on any kill!

In PvP, the real star of the show is Disruption Break, allowing you to follow up a hit with a single melee to land the kill. Perfect if you like to engage fast and aggressively. Refusal of the Call is A-Tier for PvE and B-tier for PvP.

Best alternatives:

	Rake Angle	Glaive	Special	Stasis	Nightfall: The Ordeals
	Nezarec's Whisper	Glaive	Special	Arc	Presage
	The Enigma	Glaive	Special	Void	Throne World

Refusal of the Call Perks & God Rolls

The Refusal of the Call Strand Glaive can roll with the following perks:

• Perk 1: Impulse Amplifier, Slice, Tilting at Windmills, Envious Assassin, Replenishing Aegis, Discord, Auto-Loading Holster.
• Perk 2: Melee Momentum, Vorpal Weapon, Unstoppable Force, Sword Logic, Close to Melee, Disruption Break, Beacon Rounds.
• Origin Trait: Willing Vessel, Runneth Over.

Refusal of the Call PvE god rolls

As the goal is to swap to Refusal after landing a kill with a different weapon, boosting our handling is top priority. Tempered Truss Rod, Swap Mag, and a handling masterwork should do you just fine.

Discord has barely any contenders in its slot. While Envious Assassin and Replenishing Aegis are nice, Discord refunds the ammo from thin air, instead of pulling from reserves. Slice is the only other worthwhile perk as it can make those close-up encounters less stressful. As for Perk 2, Sword Logic just pairs so well with Discord that other options seem lackluster. However, Close to Melee is a solid alternative as it too can take advantage of Discord’s ammo refund.

Refusal of the Call PvP god rolls

Contrasting our PvE roll, we’re going to focus solely on range for PvP. Ballistic Tuning, Accurized Rounds, and a range masterwork will give it a solid bump and will make our perk 1 choice even stronger.

Speaking of, Impulse Amplifier is that perk. Tacking on the 35% bonus gives Refusal a whopping 175 m/s projectile velocity! And while it might seem like an odd choice, Disruption Break for Perk 2 is actually a very solid pick. As the glaive melee is coded as a Kinetic attack, it will benefit from the 50% damage debuff, allowing for a shot-melee kill at all resilience tiers!
