💡 How to Use
The Scythe is a premier scaling attack that should be prioritized early in a run to maximize its permanent damage growth. It functions as a late-game win condition by providing massive single-target burst that can bypass high enemy defenses or trigger execution thresholds.
⚡ Synergies
card
Reaper Form
Reaper Form applies Doom equal to the damage dealt by attacks. As The Scythe's damage scales to massive levels, it allows you to apply enough Doom to instantly execute bosses or high-HP elites.
card
Transfigure
This card adds the Replay keyword to a card in hand, allowing it to be played twice. Using this on The Scythe doubles the permanent damage increase gained during that combat, accelerating its scaling significantly.
relic
Throwing Axe
This relic causes the first card played in combat to be played an extra time. By playing The Scythe first, you ensure it gains two stacks of permanent damage every single encounter for no additional energy.
relic
Pen Nib
This relic doubles the damage of every 10th attack played. Since The Scythe eventually reaches very high base damage values, timing the double damage proc can result in one-shotting most non-boss enemies.
