Morden can* turn into the raw element of Death and people are worried about weapons being effective.
*If he could be bothered
we need scythe simply for drip
People assume it will be used for grim reaper cosplay as if I donât want to match my clanâs plantationâs aesthetic.
Whats the discourse with a sycthe-type polearm weapon?
Nothing is hurting by it getting added, just model it or retexture and already existing model and add already existing moves like flying slash, flash strike, and that one downward slash move rayman showcased with his greatsword
Simply because scythes donât work as weapons, so itâd be about as practical as using any farming tool as a weapon. Which isnât the worst thing, but still significantly worse than a real weapon.
AO has weapon aura to make a weapon do magic, but it doesnât seem to apply to non-weaponry such as shovels.
Yet that doesnât matter?
You can turn swords into ranged weapons and blow giant gusts of air from a stick. Weapon practicality is non existent in arcane odyssey, if you havenât noticed, then idk maybe read more fantasy or play more fantasy related games. Also, scythes are in arcane reborn and work perfectly, take down notes and inspiration.
no no no, i already mentioned that.
was that not puppy keeper? and if you did then why are you arguing against scythes?
A really good example of scythe use is mordex from brawhalla
i said it here.
Iâm saying that a scythe is not a weapon, and logically shouldnât work, for the same reason that a shovel doesnât work. Though if it was specifically good for grabs, then I guess itâd make sense, come to think of it.
pretty sure weapon aura in real world arcane can be applied to anything that can work as one, which a scythe can and the aura only acts as a buffer
I mean if youâre really adamant on bringing your foes closer to you, while also slicing them a bit, then yes, a scythe would be very very practical.
Sure the scythe was not a weapon historically irl nor is it practical, but itâs still a fairly common weapon in fiction. Off the top of my head I can name like 5 scythe weapon users with 0 effort, which is more than I can do for most weapons in AO. The common connotation of scythes in media is that they can be used in weapons, so i doubt anybody would be confused or concerned about the practicality of them if they ever got added.
I always saw them used as of more of a symbol related to reaping or harvesting, and if used as a weapon, only to amplify the reaping connotation, like with the Grim Reaper, where itâs used to harvest a soul and bring them to the afterlife.
If some Genshin Impact character or whatever uses a scythe as a straight up weapon just to be cool, Iâm not chilling with it.
I think a scythe could make a cool spirit weapon, actually. Since itâs all about attributed meaning rather than actual usage.
For move ideas, watch this video and skip to these times

Grab move: 1:28
Then watch this:

Scythe throw and grab: 0:03
Then in this image the scythe can have an arial X slash move:
And the last and 4th move could just be whirlwind
1st move - x slash
2nd move - grab
3rd move - whirlwind
4th move - throw and grab
Canât a new weapon type get its own skills? I mean thereâs no weapon type in the game where you can say âclose enoughâ about a scythe, itâd just have to be a new type.
