I don’t know how they’d get that to work. Glaives don’t work with any of the current melee ability charges.
However, Bungie did say that they’re looking at adding Glaive functionality to more melee exotics, so I wouldn’t count it out yet.
Unfortunately Hunters don’t have many melees that deal in uncharged melee damage outside of Sealed Ahamkara Grasps (the first one they did). All the other ones on hunter deal with charged or elemental hits.

Add the text to combination blow "Uncharged melee kills reduce cool down of class ability, charged melee kills refund class ability and increase melee damage". That said Bungle needs to learn to accept they need to find a way to make the glaives work with melee perks in some way. They marketed it as /a glaive/, not Dumbledores stick of pointyness. It's a pole axe / spear, not a magic wand for shooting booboo balls and shielding you from hurty hurts. If Bungie thinks this is what anyone wanted when they used this as a marketing point they are on chems. Really strong ones.

The problem with adding that to combination blow is that It’s run through the melee charge. You could do this and only have the dodge energy and damage increase apply to the Glaive, but you’d need to swap off of it to reset the timer. This could work, but I think Bungie is trying to wait and see how these melee exotics affecting Glaives could play out. We’re slowly cycling in stronger armor. If they add this, it’ll likely be in with flat melee damage scalar exotics like Wormgods Caress. Not saying it wouldn’t be cool, but just wait and see. Bungie doesn’t want Glaives to break the game with melee builds as it’s a straight 1.5x to your melee DPS for free with a Glaive and melee damage builds have a bad habit of breaking the game. On the extent of Glaive identity, this is what they’ve always been marketed as: a combination of ranged and melee with a focus on tanking damage. Being the brawler and holding down a position. The current Glaive kit works very well and outside of needing some tweaks in PvP, is very well balanced. Literally the showcase for glaives has them shooting void blasts at enemies. I don’t your the issue with having it have a 2 faceted weapon identity. It’s fine, but I don’t understand
