Hallow Scythe
Hallow Scythe is a Mythical sword built for high burst damage and combo-heavy PvP. It stands out through its unique scaling mechanic, where some of its damage increases based on the target’s current health, allowing it to hit especially hard against healthier opponents and making it strong for opening engagements.
In PvP, the sword is valued for its strong combo potential and ability to punish mistakes with heavy damage. It performs best in aggressive setups where players can quickly convert a landed hit into extended pressure or burst.
The sword is also well known for a niche but dangerous combo involving Portal. In the Second Sea, players can use Portal’s World Warp to teleport opponents near lava, then follow up with Death Cyclone to drag them through it, causing rapid health loss. While situational, this interaction made Hallow Scythe especially notorious in PvP.
