Mage damage dealers should purchase Divine Glaive during the mid-to-late game when frontliners, tanks, or fighters begin stacking heavy Magic Defense items. This item solves the issue of severe magic resistance on high-defense targets by providing a baseline +40% Magic Penetration alongside additional scaling penetration that increases with the target's Magic Defense up to an extra 20%. It is strongest against durable compositions, ensuring your magic abilities pierce through high defensive stat investments.

Builds

Heroes who build this

Cecilion
In late-game scenarios, enemy frontliners stack heavy Magic Defense items to survive Cecilion's scaling burst. Divine Glaive counters this directly through its passive Spellbreaker, which scales extra Magic Penetration against foes with high Magic Defense. Equipped with this item, Cecilion's late-game Bat Impact casts can pierce through thick tanks, ensuring his high Max Mana scaling from Overflowing continues to melt entire enemy teams during late-game Lord contests.
Chang'e
When enemies stack magic resistance late in the game, the Spellbreaker passive grants scaling magic penetration based on enemy defense. This ensures Meteor Shower and Crescent Moon enhanced basic attacks continue slicing through heavy defensive builds during crucial late-game pushes around the Lord.
Eudora
Essential in the late game when opponents build Magic Defense items to survive her initial burst. Divine Glaive scales its penetration based on the enemy's total defense, ensuring Thunder's Wrath and Forked Lightning bypass heavy resistance. Finishing this item keeps her combo lethal against tanks and fighters during critical late-game clashes over the Lord.
Gusion
Late in the game, opponents often stack magic defense items to survive Gusion's burst. Divine Glaive counters this by converting the target's magic defense into additional magic penetration. When Gusion dives a marked target with Sword Spike and recalls ten daggers using Incandescence, Divine Glaive ensures that his magic damage pierces straight through heavy defensive stats, preventing tanks and bruisers from walling off his burst combinations.
Harley
Divine Glaive is Harley's primary response to enemies building high Magic Defense items in the late game. Its passive Spellbreaker grants scaling Magic Penetration based on the target's Magic Defense. When combined with the flat defense shred from Magic Master and Genius Wand, Divine Glaive ensures Harley can still melt tanky targets and frontliners with Deadly Magic even when they attempt to counter his magic damage.
Kagura
As enemies build magic defense to survive Kagura's burst, Divine Glaive breaks through their protection. Its Spellbreaker passive grants extra magic penetration proportional to the target's magic defense, ensuring her Yin Yang Overturn retains its lethal potential late game. This item guarantees that tanky frontliners attempting to block Seimei Umbrella Open still take crippling damage during high-stakes teamfights around the Lord.
Luo Yi
As opponents purchase magic defense items to counter Luo Yi's burst, Divine Glaive scales her magic penetration based on the enemy's total magic resistance. This ensures her Duality reactions continue to shred durable frontline heroes during late-game Lord fights. With this item, casting Dispersion into clustered enemies forces even tanks to take devastating damage from Yin-Yang Reactions.
Lylia
Divine Glaive provides the Spellbreaker passive, gaining extra Magic Penetration against targets stacking Magic Defense. In the late game when opponents purchase magic resistance items, this enables Shadow Energy detonations to punch through tough frontline defenses. It ensures Lylia remains a major damage threat, capable of turning around late-game fights before retreating to safety with Black Shoes.
Nana
As enemy heroes build magic defense in the late game, Divine Glaive ensures Nana maintains her lethal damage output. Its Spellbreaker passive grants extra magic penetration based on the target's magic defense. When Nana hits magic-resistant enemies with Molina Smooch, this penetration allows Molina Blitz to punch straight through their armor during critical late-game contests around the Lord.
Natan
Divine Glaive ensures Natan can melt resilient enemies late in the game. Its Spellbreaker passive grants extra Magic Penetration based on the target's Magic Defense. This prevents tanky opponents from mitigating Natan's output, allowing his returning basic attacks and the replicated spells of his Reverse-Clone from Entropy? to slice through heavy frontline defenses during high-stakes clashes around the Lord.
Novaria
As enemies build magic defense in the late game to survive her artillery, Divine Glaive ensures her damage remains deadly. Its passive grants percentage-based magic penetration that scales higher against high magic defense targets. Combined with the enlarged hitboxes applied by Astral Echo, Novaria can pierce through bulky frontline tanks and deal devastating percentage-HP damage with both Astral Meteor and Star Shatter from complete safety.
Odette
As enemies stack magic defense late in the game, Divine Glaive ensures Odette's Swan Song and Lakeshore Ambience bounces maintain high damage. Its passive grants bonus magic penetration scaled against enemy magic defense, allowing her to easily slice through enemy tanks attempting to block her channel. Completing this item guarantees her late-game teamfight presence remains lethal regardless of defensive builds.
