Friedes Scythe worth it?

[IIPanda Man DanII]

Im trading a Frayed Blade for it but.... Tbh man how are scythes?

Its a fun weapon. But has some serious weaknesses. Biggest would be a weird angled hitbox, where some attacks will simply go over enemies attacks when they are standing slightly to the left.

Also the attack power isnt that great.

There are other scyther which are better since they can be buffed.

For PvE its good enough.

Thank you very much for your input! Any Scythes you think are good? I heard Corvian was alright buffed

I've heard good things about it, but... if you're thinking of PvP then Scythes are in general not that great. Its super easy to parry scythes on reaction. However, they do bypass shields which is great against Shield Backstab fishers.

It looks good and is fashionable.

As someone who mains Friede's scythe on one of my charries.. I have never been parried when using it. At least with it's WA (though they try lol). Also the damage is not bad really.. though you need to get dex up for the physical damage. Int for the magic damage and with the 2nd scythe.. though I've taken out ganks with the scythe just fine.

Really fun. xD You can win a lot of invasions (or against invaders) if you learn how to use the scythe well.

Maybe they suck. The WA is very easy to parry lol

when combined with pontiffs right eye, hornet ring, it does great and it interupts a lot of attacks

Perhaps. xD My friede scythe charrie (Named Allegra ) is one of my naughty characters (invade a lot with her) and she hasn't been parried yet though I've watched them sit there and try. Some even spam but like nuup!

One major issue though is working tight corridors. You are limited in some of your swings (unless you like bouncing off walls) but still do able... Friede's scythe is a lot of fun for me. Just gotta learn how to use it xD

Ahh yes we did play together man :D

Tbh im just new to the Dark souls series so i dont know much about leveling, caps, pvp and stuff i just pick whats cool. I am a PvP type of guy so i need to learn

Apparently the weapon is good with a lot of poise cause the WA has hyper armor. It almost got me on a havel cause I was still fairly new to the weapon. Met the guy again and he got me on a 2v1 :P I wonder how it would be with snap freeze in a tight area.

My 2-cents: It's the best scythe. But scythes aren't that great. For a new player, I'd probably go with a straight sword or greatsword to start. Once you have some "gud" under your belt, a scythe would make for a fun challenge run. Same thing for whips.

Right, I killed the last person using the corvian scythe, which people say is better, pretty quick.
