Blitz has no AoE(Area of Effect/splash damage), but how Blitz scales against Glaives is still quite complicated. Each lighting shot from the Blitz only hits 1 target.

It just takes 3 Glaives to defeat a single Blitz if the Glaives are in range of the Blitz.

However, if the Blitz can 1v1 the Glaives, it takes something like 8 Glaives to kill a blitz.

Yet again, since the Blitz has longer range than the Glaive, it can also be able to kill the Glaive before it enters range.

Glaives are faster than Blitzes but if the Blitzes can kill the Glaives before they can fire back, Blitzes can kill infinite amount of Glaives with no losses.

I'm not sure which scenario is the most realistic or important when you want to decide the match-up between Glaive and Blitz in an actual game between players.

Kodachi has a more favorable match-up against Glaives than Blitz does.

If 3 Glaives can get in range of a single Kodachi and they are all spread out enough to avoid the splash damage, they will get a costeffective trade, only losing 1 Glaive in the process.

However, while it might be feasible to chase a Blitz and get in range and kill the Blitz costeffectively, chasing a Kodachi with Glaives is basically suicide and it is basically impossible to make a costeffective trade against a retreating Kodachi unless you can surround it first.

Now, if the objective is just to protect a target against a single kodachi, 3 Glaives can do that, because the Kodachi will lose if it just drives straight into the Glaives.

I'm
not
sure
if
all
those
scenarios
can
be
rolled
into
a
single
number,
a
single
ratio.
