Scythe
Scythe is a ranged Phighter who plays more so as a hybrid between melee and ranged combat, using Switcheroo to alternate between her Scythe and Rifle forms as needed. In Rifle form, Harvest / Let 'Er RipRifle dishes out high and consistent mid-range damage, complemented by Vulture Sweep / BullseyeRifle and Chasing Flourish / Buckshot BlazeRifle for burst damage at both long and close ranges. Scythe's best mobility comes in her Scythe form, using Harvest / Let 'Er Rip and Chasing Flourish / Buckshot Blaze to dance around the enemy while chipping away at them, and Vulture Sweep / Bullseye to hover above danger while bursting them down at range. Her two forms also grant her two unique Phinishers, allowing her to chase down enemies with ease using Stalking Ambush / Final Serenade and quickly handle groups of enemies through Stalking Ambush / Final SerenadeRifle. Nearly all of Scythe's abilities depend on an 'ammo' resource that she must manage wisely to maintain a consistent damage output. This is done through her passive, Eye on the Target, which requires her to swiftly and efficiently eliminate her target to replenish her ammo. Overall, Scythe is an elegant but deadly Phighter, challenging to master but highly rewarding when played well.
