Scythe

The Scythe is a sinister and stylish weapon in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless. Often associated with Grim Reapers or characters like Maka Albarn from Soul Eater, the Scythe offers a unique moveset distinct from swords and fists.

It is favored by players who enjoy wide Area of Effect (AoE) attacks and a dark aesthetic.

Moveset & Abilities

The Scythe excels at crowd control. Unlike a sword that slashes in a line, the Scythe sweeps in circles.

  1. Soul Reaping: A 360-degree spin attack. The user spins the scythe around their body, damaging everyone in melee range.
    • Tactical Tip: This is the best move for farming dense groups of enemies like the Marines or Nomu.
  2. Death’s Pull: Hooks an enemy and pulls them closer to you (or pulls you to them). Great for catching runners in PvP.
  3. Grim Slash: A charged vertical chop that deals heavy damage and may inflict a “Fear” or “Slow” debuff.

How to Obtain

  1. Halloween Events: The Scythe is a staple of Halloween updates. It is often the main reward for collecting “Candy” or “Souls.”
  2. Boss Drop: Can drop from the Reaper Boss or Death entity in the Underworld dimension.
  3. Crafting: Some versions require combining a “Rusty Scythe” with “Soul Orbs.”

Synergy

  • Reaper Class: The Scythe is the signature weapon for the Reaper class. Equipping it while using the Reaper class often unlocks hidden passives or boosts damage.
  • Dark Specials: Pairs perfectly with Dark or Shadow magic for a complete edgy build.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Is the Scythe better than a Sword?

For farming multiple enemies? Yes. The circular hitbox is superior to the linear hitbox of most swords. For single-target boss damage? No, weapons like Yoru or Dragon Slayer usually have higher single-target DPS.

Can I fly with it?

Some legendary variants of the Scythe allow for a “gliding” mechanic or have a move that propels you into the air, but the basic version does not grant flight.

Does it scale with Sword stat?

Yes, despite being a polearm, it typically scales off your Sword stat.
