{{PAGENAME}} is a ranged Phighter who uses her unique trait of both melee and ranged capabilities to weave in and out of the battlefield. When playing as {{PAGENAME}}, it is important to keep track of your ammo, a limited resource that most of your abilities consume, and make decisions and change playstyles based on how much ammo you can afford to use and how much you'll need to keep. {{PAGENAME}}'sThe best strategy to keep ammo up is to play aggressively, always keeping track of your target to eliminate them and cycle through targets faster to gain more and more ammo. AlthoughDespite it is effective to play aggressivelythis, {{PAGENAME}} must also know when to disengage from a fight as her below average health pool of 150 hitpoints can only sustain her for so long. ScytheHarvest form'sand M1 andChasing EFlourish still grant ammo on non-target enemies, giving {{PAGENAME}} an option to fall back on. Despite having melee capabilities. {{PAGENAME}} cannot sustain a frontline as well as actual melee Phighters, {{PAGENAME}} works best with frontliners ([[Sword]], [[Ban Hammer]], [[Boombox]], etc.) to draw attention away from {{PAGENAME}} and let her get damage in with less risk of being a main target.
 
{{PAGENAME}}'s role in the battlefield is similar toas a "jack of all trades", similar to [[Sword]].

Positioning correctly is very important with {{PAGENAME}}, as it allows her to get in and out of fights easier, get a better line of sight tofor anranged enemy's backlineattacks, and lets enemies get into range of her melee attacks quickly. Being caught in a bad spot could lead you to wasting movement abilities and ammo as Flat-hat and Chasing Flourish have long cooldowns. Despite having melee capabilities. {{PAGENAME}} cannot hold a frontline as well as actual melee Phighters, {{PAGENAME}} works best with frontliners ([[Sword]], [[Ban Hammer]], [[Boombox]], etc.) to draw attention away from her and let her get damage in with less risk. Try to position yourself at a flanking angle to not let yourself be the main focus. Staying near map terrain is useful if you ever need to escape or jukekite an enemy.▼
Attempt to use your Phinishers often, as the relatively low cost of 125 Phinisher points along with gaining bonus points by killing your target lets {{PAGENAME}} provide as much impact as possible over and over again.

===Ability usage===
Line 178 ⟶ 174:
** The target can be seen through walls, use this to your advantage for surprise attacks.
** Be careful to not focus solely your target. If at sufficient enough ammo or in an unfavorable position to kill your target, focus on other enemies as well.
** Know how aggressive you can afford to be based on your ammo and who your target is. For instance, if you know a fight with an enemy will leave your ammo reserves low, try taking the next fight more safely. If your target is in a fight with you and your team, you can use more abilities as your target can replenish that ammo.
* {{Abilitylink|ScytheSecondary}}
** Constantly switch between forms to maximize {{PAGENAME}}'s kit and be as versatile as possible.
Line 185 ⟶ 182:
** Distance yourself from the enemy to make use of Harvest's % of current health tip damage. Use its quick and hard to predict movement to juke enemies and around terrain.
** Use Harvest as your main ammo source when running low, as it costs no ammo to use and provides consistent ammo gain even on unmarked enemies.
** {{PAGENAME}}'s movementMovement with Harvest has a few unique interactions:
*** Walking into a wall while attacking with Harvest causes {{PAGENAME}} to cling to it and fall much slower. Use this to stall if needed.
*** Walking backwards into a wall while looking down will instead cause her to climb up.
*** Using Harvest when walking into a steep slope launches {{PAGENAME}} upwards.
* {{Abilitylink|ScytheQ}}
Line 198 ⟶ 196:
** Can be used for crowd control by dashing into enemies multiple times and using its spin on groups of enemies.
** The dash and spin grant more ammo compared to Scythe form's other abilities, use for a quick burst of ammo if needed.
** Canceling Chasing Flourish's spin with {{Abilitylink|ScythePrimary}} can bedouble usedthe fordistance extremelyof fasta horizontalsingle movementdash, althoughthough sacrificingit itssacrifices the spin damage and a bit ofextra height.
* {{Abilitylink|ScythePhinisher}}
** Use Stalking Ambush on enemies at half health or lower to confirm the kill and significantly boost your ammo, or to place your target on more high-priority enemies: frontliners such as [[Ban Hammer]], [[Katana]], and support Phighters such as [[Medkit]].
Line 226 ⟶ 224:
===Counterplay against {{PAGENAME}}===
* Very vulnerable while in Gun form with much slower movement. A {{PAGENAME}} switching to Gun form gives you a window to attack.
* {{PAGENAME}}'s damage output is significantly reduced if she runs out of ammo, making her more vulnerable to being focusedtargeted andwith rushedless downways to counter it or escape.
* {{Abilitylink|ScytheQ}} and {{Abilitylink|ScytheE}} have relatively long cooldowns, if you know {{PAGENAME}} has these abilities on cooldown, try to rush her down.
* Being able to juke around terrain using {{Abilitylink|ScythePrimary}} is one of the strongest parts of her kit, leading {{PAGENAME}} into an open area gives her less options for dodging attacks.
* If you are a {{PAGENAME}}'s chosen target, attempt to avoid or kill her as much as possible to reduce her ammo gain. Try to avoid getting isolated and stick with your team.
** Being a marked target could be used to lure her away, such as from the [[Conquer]] point objective or away from her own team.
** If a {{PAGENAME}} might target you with {{Abilitylink|ScythePhinisher}}, try to lure her into an unfavorable position, likesuch as into the middle of your team or near damaging map hazards.
