The Grave Scythe stands out for its superior strength scaling, making it ideal for two-handed builds to maximize damage and enhance death resistance.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the capabilities and attributes of different scythes in the game. The Halo Scythe offers high attack ratings with solid physical and holy damage, and its Ash of War can prevent enemies from healing in PvP, but it has a long animation time and short reach. Conversely, the Wing Scythe has a unique R2 attack that hits enemies twice when charged and scales well with dexterity, though it has the lowest damage among the scythes. The Wing Scythe is flexible due to its light weight and customizable Ash of War, making it suitable for dual-wield builds with a focus on dexterity. The speaker notes that while both scythes are versatile, there are better options for specific builds, especially in Faith and dual-wielding scenarios.

The weapon’s flexibility is emphasized, allowing modifications to its Ash of War, with suggested changes including black flame tornado or flaming strike. The speaker advises leveraging the weapon’s heavy damage potential and possibly incorporating blood loss effects for additional damage.
