Scythe

The scythe is a melee weapon in Three Ways of War.

The scythe in a nutshell is basically a power-up. It has unexpected attacks, so anyone who hasn't fought against a scythe will be surprised by its shockwave and throw. Its primary weakness compared to other melee weapons is its low primary attack rate and its lack of a blocking ability. Although 70 damage and seeing a glowing scythe flying by is a very odd thing to see for opponents, veteran players will immediately recognize the scythe and its painful throwing weakness; the scythe will only start to return once it hits something it can't go through or it has traveled 100 meters. The scythe's throw is a terrible opening attack, and was created with the intention of either slamming players who are against a wall or killing low health players attempting to escape. But players new to using the weapon will usually throw the scythe and never see it again because they've had veterans run at them and shell their face with a shotgun.
