Scythe

Scythes are special weapons introduced by the Harken Scythe mod. They are decent in power and slightly more expensive than swords. Scythes have a power attack (Hold M2/right click) that is quite potent when charged. Executing a power attack effectively multiplies all damage dealt by 2 and strikes all mobs near the primary target. When a supported mob is killed with a power attack, a soul is spawned. Souls are useful in crafting Livingmetal and Soulweave. Souls may be trapped inside an Essence Keeper or an Essence Vessel.

There are multiple tiers of scythes: Wooden, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Biomass and Livingmetal. Wooden/golden scythes strike for 3 damage, stone for 4, iron/livingmetal/biomass for 5, and diamond for 6. All scythes deal double damage upon a power attack.

They are crafted as a row, of your choice material, on the top 3 squares, with 2 sticks stemming downwards diagonally.

Note: it is very difficult to acquire the ingots for a Livingmetal scythe without first harvesting souls with other tier scythes.
