Glaive melee question for Bungie if possible

Is it counting as a void melee or a kinetic melee when I have offensive bulwark on and am using a glaives melee attack? Because if we’re getting a buff to melee damage while shielded shouldn’t it apply to our glaive melee as well? Secondly is to ask if that damage is considered void melee damage from a weapon shouldn’t it be proccing volatile? I have been trying to test this myself to figure it out but am having issues with my build giving me overshield on kills and it chops through lower level enemies too fast to catch the numbers. Also I am trying to use the same area as my field test zone so I’m not skewing my numbers but with needing such enemy density for testing I also run risk of being focus shot at the same time and dying during testing. With the changes to glaives coming next season I really want to be on top of my game.

  • Afaik glave damage is kinetic. Projectile damage is elemental.

    • The [i]glave melee[/i] counts as [i]Kinetic damage only.[/i] The [b]glave shot itself[/b] is [b]elemental[/b]. Only [u]glave shot multi-kills[/u] give u an Orb of Power (and before you ask, the Kinetic Siphon mod DOESN’T give you Orbs of Power on melee multi-kills). Hope that helps!

I do not believe offensive bulwark works with any glaive melee.

    • Are glaive melee kills refreshing your overshield?
