    • Aerial Slash cannot be cancelled by the wielder once used, rendering them immobile as they fall to the ground.
  • The 1st and 2nd combo hits can be repeated after a brief delay, or chained with a strong attack, if timed correctly.
  • Try using the SP+ skill to enhance the scythe's devastating combo ability.
  • Expert scythe users can juggle opponents by chaining uppercuts together in quick succession using an advanced melee cancel trick. Consumes a lot of SP
    • This technique propels the wielder high into the air, and can be used to scale high terrain.
