![]() ![]() Skilled mowers using long-bladed scythes honed very sharp were used to maintain short lawn grass until the invention of the lawnmower. A long, thin blade 90 to 100 centimetres (35 to 39 in) is most efficient for mowing grass or wheat, while a shorter, more robust scythe 60 to 70 centimetres (24 to 28 in) is more appropriate for clearing weeds, cutting reed or sedge and can be used with the blade under water for clearing ditches and waterways. Scythes are designed for different tasks. Mowing grass is easier when it is damp, and so hay-making historically began at dawn and often stopped early, the heat of the day being spent raking and carting the hay cut on previous days or peening the blades. Mowing may be done by a team of mowers, usually starting at the edges of a meadow then proceeding clockwise and finishing in the middle. Each strip of ground mown by a scythe is called a swathe (pronounced / s w eɪ ð/ rhymes with "bathe") or swath ( / s w ɒ θ/ rhymes with "cloth"). ![]() The mower moves along the mowing-edge with the uncut grass to the right and the cut grass laid in a neat row to the left, on the previously mown land. Men working in a field near Fort Frances, between 19 Scythes almost always have the blade projecting from the left side of the snaith when in use, with the edge towards the mower left-handed scythes are made but cannot be used together with right-handed scythes as the left-handed mower would be mowing in the opposite direction and could not mow in a team. A curved, steel blade between 60 and 90 centimetres (24 and 35 in) long is mounted at the lower end at 90°, or less, to the snaith. The handles are usually adjustable to suit the user. The snaith has either one or two short handles at right angles to it, usually one near the upper end and always another roughly in the middle. Simple snaiths are straight with offset handles, others have an "S" curve or are steam bent in three dimensions to place the handles in an ergonomic configuration but close to the shaft. However their R2's are decent at catching players that roll into you since they are slow so use those defensively.A modern scythe of a pattern common in parts of EuropeĪ scythe consists of a shaft about 170 centimetres (67 in) long called a snaith, snath, snathe or sned, traditionally made of wood but now sometimes metal. As for the running attacks they go far and are probably going to be the 2nd most used attack since again their neutral R1's and R2's are just really slow. Their Jump heavies have good range around you so jumping to the left or right of people when using them can catch them while staying relatively out of their weapons range. So when two handed or one handed your crouch/roll lights are your best friend they hit fast, very fast so while fighting spam that crouch attack you can even roll catch with them like with colossal swords but you have to take a step forward immediately after you land the 1st hit a lot of the time. ![]() First these weapons are better two handed their power stance moveset isn't great for being aggressive and often you get hit out of power stance attacks since they don't hit at the same time, the jump attack is one of the best in the game however so if you want to build around that it's not a horrible idea. For anyone who wants to use scythes in pvp these weapons R1's and R2's are kinda slow but it doesn't care about poise unless they are past 125 poise which is rather rare.
