Scythe

<tabber> |-|Normal=

The Scythe is a weapon in Kaiju Paradise. It has a long handle with a large, curved, sharp point at the top.

Properties

"it large and sharp!! cut cut!!"

The Scythe has an unique ability in which it blocks grabs from Gootraxians at the cost of durability. Upon hitting a Gootraxian with the Scythe, they will ragdoll and get flung in the direction you hit them, knocking the Gootraxian away from you.

It has the longest range out of any melee weapon in the game, however, this comes at the cost of a longer cooldown. Therefore, it's generally advised to utilize it offensively to clear larger swathes of Gootraxians, or to use it more defensively by relying on the ragdoll and longer range to keep Gootraxians at bay while the cooldown expires. Alternatively, it could be primarily used for its grab blocking properties only, relying more on secondary weapons to deal damage.

The Scythe cannot be stolen by Slime Pups. Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The scythe broke into a million pieces." If a Gootraxian tries to grab you, text at the bottom of the screen for the Gootraxian will say: "Seems like they counter your attack with their scythe.."

As of V3.1, the Scythe currently has 14 skins.

Obtainment

The Scythe cannot be obtained from Abble's Shop. However, they may be found scattered around the facility in four specific spawn locations, which can be found in the Weapons page. Like all other common items, these spawn every 180 seconds (3 minutes). |-|Golden=

The Golden Scythe is a goldified weapon. It has the scythe's appearance, but golden with a soft glow and sparkles.

Properties

Compared to a normal Scythe, the Golden Scythe is far more durable, capable of blocking up to 8 grabs instead of 6. It offers no improvement to its damage, but that doesn't make it any less well equipped for dealing with grab-happy Gootraxians.

Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The golden scythe broke into a million pieces."

Obtainment

The Golden Scythe can be obtained by killing a Golden Slime variant or obtained by the randomly dropped gold weapon. </tabber>

Tips

Please note that most things listed in this section are not objective, and are not the "Correct" way to use them. This section is used to give advice to players who want to learn how to use their tools more efficiently.

• Overall, a Scythe best supports survivability more than other benefits gained.
• The Scythe is ideal for more defensive or supportive play, given its downsides at the cost of its other abilities.
  • Due to its long cooldown and moderate damage output in comparison to other weapons, a Scythe generally falls flat when it comes to dealing damage with consistency. These features, however, should not overshadow its auxiliary compatibility to be used in conjunction with other weapons due to its stun duration.
• Its ability to block a Gootraxian's Grab will retain any moment a Scythe is being held, including while in the midst of being swung.
  • While its blocking animation will play if a Gootraxian uses Grab on the Scythe during its swinging animation, this will not cancel out the swing itself and will allow its wielder to still use the weapon.
• Despite one of its main attributes being its ability to block Grab, it is much better off to avoid being grabbed as a whole than to use its durability to deflect them. A Scythe may only block up to six (eight if Golden) instances of them, without counting individual use on other targets.

Trivia

• Prior to its obtainment rework, the Scythe was previously purchasable from Abble's Shop for 14 .
• The Scythe's knockback can be used to push Gootraxians into the laser gates at spawn, instantly killing them.
