You mean, aside from the fact that said link mentions:- > ...thus forming an infantry weapon practical both in offensive actions against infantry and as a defensive measure against enemy cavalry.
>..is characterised by long range and powerful force (due to leverage): there are documented instances where a scythe cut through a metal helmet. They could be used, depending on construction and tactics, to make slashing or stabbing attacks, and with their uncommon appearance and considerable strength could have a psychological impact on an unprepared enemy. However, like most pole weapons, their disadvantages were weight (which could quickly exhaust the user) and slow speed.Powerful, effective and ranged, but slow and requires high stamina. Similar weakness to other, just as proven weapons such as lances and spears. --- Action speaks louder than words.

Chaos StrykerPosted 1/6/2013 8:05:17 PM | Gonna go with scythes.
Don't really care how practical they are as a weapon. They look badass and that's all that really matters.
Because, let's be honest, most of your attacking is done with Personas anyways, so if you aren't going to use a weapon it might as well look cool while you hold it!

Powerful, effective and ranged, but slow and requires high stamina. Similar weakness to other, just as proven weapons such as lances and spears. Again, that is a weapon made by reforging the blade of a Scythe into something useful for combat. It's very existence sort of proves the improbability of actual scythes as a weapon. Which I'm betting is what almost everyone here means when they bring up Scythes. Not weaponized variants of a scythe, but big cool looking grim reaper scythes. --- What can change the nature of a man? |
zhaoyun99Posted 1/6/2013 8:44:51 PM | If somebody who went with Scythe like Haseo The Terror of Death or let's see, how about the poster boy Zhao Yun with his Dragon Spear? That would be cool. Or JUST MY MOTHERF****** VECTOR TO MURDER ALL THE PEONS. A CERTAIN SERIAL KILLER ACCELERATOR. HERE I COME.
