Scythe
Scythe is a ranged Phighter. She was released on 24 February 2024 with V0.8.0 and the Dove vs. Crow Phestival.
Overview
Scythe is a ranged Phighter that specializes in both ranged and close-quarters combat. She plays more as a hybrid between a melee and ranged class, switching between them with her Scythe and Gun forms.
Her Gun form allows for a consistent mid-range damage output with Let 'Er Rip as well as high burst damage potential with Bull's-eye and Bullet Blaze. Her Scythe form boasts her best mobilty options with Flat-hat and Chasing Flourish, along with Harvest's unpredictable movement. Her Scythe abilities deal greater damage based on the enemy's current hitpoints, providing an advantage against enemies at higher health. Her two unique Phinishers allow Scythe to have both large crowd control capabilities and single-target kill confirmation. Switcheroo has an extremely short cooldown, allowing Scythe to switch between these forms constantly and be incredibly versatile.
Her passive, Eye on the Target, gives Scythe a limited 'ammo' resource she must use wisely to keep a consistent damage output, the random target it also gives means Scythe must be ready for a matchup against any Phighter.
Abilities
Scythe has two different forms which give different sets of abilities: Scythe form and Gun form. These forms can be switched around by using Switcheroo.

Ability usage
- Eye on the Target
- Any damage to your target will activate the bonus damage and ammo, Let 'Er Rip can be used to damage them as soon as possible and begin snowballing on ammo. Staying low means a large part of Scythe's kit is unusable.
- The target can be seen through walls, use this to your advantage for surprise attacks.
- Despite these, be careful to not tunnel vision on your target. Your abilities can be used on non-target enemies with sufficient enough ammo.
