Yo! I was just looking for some scythe gameplay to pass the time, and found this video. Nice MVPs btw! (Also side note, I think I’ve played with u in a match before, that’s funny haha, nice channel :] ). As a scythe main though, I saw areas where u could improve ur performance as scythe, and I would love to impart some knowledge to u so u can become a better scythe player! - (How to Engage/Utilize Scythe M1 and E) I see you play scythe more as a passive aggressive character, only using your scythe m1 to gain ammunition. Generally I can see a lot with ur playstyle where u often engage with rifle m1 at both far to close ranges, and often go for ammunition targets. Typical scythe mentality, but I feel what’s more effective is being more aggressive as a scythe. Generally her scythe m1 and e are way more effective than u think when dealing with opponents, and can actually do a lot of damage, possibly more than what u could do with the rifle m1 alone (especially due to missing shots and boombox force fields lol), and without needless loss of ammunition! The scythe e is also strong where you should use it to compliment ur aggression with the scythe m1, just constantly mowing down ur target like grass without letting them escape. U can also open an attack with the scythe e, as it’s full attack cycle allows u to get in two good hits easily before anything, if u can pull it off. It’s also advisable to practice getting the right distance and placement to do more damage than u would otherwise with the sweet spot crit hits on ur scythe m1. I generally just recommend u use ur scythe m1 and e more when engaging fights for this one :] - (How to utilize Scythe Q) The scythe q added to the first advice is also very strong alongside it and good to use after the enemy begins doing a lot of damage to you after u start mowing, where u can counter them by getting out of their range and hitting them with a lot of built up ammunition damage that could even act as a finisher to the fight, or a deterrent for them to keep on engaging. Using this ability when necessary or appropriate can actively alter how many times u die or have to retreat fights, and can really change the tides of each skirmish when used correctly. - (Shift Scope with Rifle M1) For the rifle m1, imo it’s a bit weird that you use the shift scope alongside it since I never use it, and cause the low mouse sensitivity when using it is so severe in the case of scythe. It’s actually not hard to hit targets from afar, even with a lack of scope, and actually where using it might degrade ur ability to properly track ur targets as scythe (aka continuously keep their crosshair on them as u both move around). I recommend trying to detach using the shift scope as u might be better off practicing ur far range aiming without the scope, as I found it more effective for dealing more damage overall. But honestly, this is a more opinionated suggestion so u do whatever works better for u out of the two options. - (How to utilize Rifle M1) Another tip for the rifle m1 is using it as a compliment to the mowing attack I mentioned, especially when targets get out ur reach temporarily/are trying to retreat. It is actually a very, very good follow-up for when they are pretty low, as u can mow them down to a point of killing them from range pretty easily, especially when you’ve built up the ammunition for it. It’s also not bad when engaging, but only resort to doing it when ur out of melee range. Otherwise, it’s probably better to start engaging with the scythe e, or a basic scythe m1. - (How to utilize Rifle E) Imo, the rifle e (shotgun) is a bit weird. Id also say the same with the rifle q (sniper), but I’ll get to that later. Once you keep using it, you may start to feel the rifle e and q are worse than just using the rifle m1 alone, especially in terms of just being able to do more damage. Part of this is true, with the shotgun tending to miss a lot of its shot pellets with its wide spread, and the sniper shot often missing and wasting a lot of ammo after the fact, with both having a long cooldown on overall shooting after use. All of this is valid, but for the shotgun’s case, that’s not all that’s to the ability imo. In fact, I think the shotgun's strong knockback is abt its strongest attribute. It can be used to get farther away from opponents and avoid chasing damage, while still retaliating against them with shotgun shells. It can also be used to jump over gaps and high ledges, to duke your opponent or get to cheeky spots, and etc. I feel you should use that to your advantage, and familiarize yourself with where this tech can be properly performed (one example of this is getting from the bottom sections of SFOTH’s center, to the top part of SFOTH’s center where the point is without having to use the ramp. You can bait opponents to chase you down there, then shotgun ur way back up to evade them) - (Rifle E Dmg on Certain Phighters) Extra tip with the rifle e, it is most useful damage wise when used on slow tanks like Katana and Banhammer, where it’s easy to land a real meaty shotgun shot on them, and can often make the difference in skirmishes with these classes who can often cut off ur options towards stopping them. - (How to utilize Rifle Q) For the rifle q (sniper), I’d say generally you don’t need to charge it all the way. It becomes too much of an investment in ammunition if u do, especially if u miss. Overall I’d say it just takes some practice to get used to using ur rifle q, and yea it’s just practice lol. U also don’t want to aim where they’re headed, since I find trying to predict where they go often ends up in u missing them. You mainly just want to aim where they are at that moment. Idk how else to explain it better, it just takes practice to hit those sniper shots. Overall this ability can be used whenever, but additionally the stun makes it good for supporting skirmishes ur teammates are participating in by stunning enemies temporarily in a fight. - (How to utilize Rifle Ult) Now we move on to the phinishers. I’ll start with the rifle ult. This one also takes some getting used to, learning the positioning and how to properly trap people in ur field of death. I recommend placing urself in spots u know they will want to go to, such as popping when u know they’re committing to rushing u, or in retreating zones where the opponents will likely fall back to. The latter one is more applicable to using it, but it all comes down to predicting the movements of the enemy. - (Knockback Compliment to Rifle Ult) However, I found the ability that best compliments the rifle ult is actually the knockback from the rifle e. I found popping urself into the air using the rifle e, and activating the ult while ur in midair helps to get a surprise out of ur enemies who won’t expect u to pop ult when ur not even facing them, and helps to make the distance u need to make to get in a good position to ult. Being in the air also helps u take less immediate attention damage during ur vulnerable state in the cutscene. And most importantly, it's very stylish and makes for really cool frag videos lol. I recommend u try doing this style! It’s actually quite fun to do when u get a hang of it. - (How not to utilize Scythe Ult) Lastly, let’s talk about the scythe ult. I found u like to use the rifle ult more than u do the scythe ult and it’s understandable, being able to do a lot more immediate and deadly damage. However, I cannot stress enough how equally strong the scythe ult is to use and u should pop it once in a while! Another thing I must say, *NEVER pop it to escape death.* I saw u did that in the video while the other scythe was chasing u in the roblox museum map, and luckily u were able to get away with a sliver of hp, but more often than not u will fumble the execution, die, and will have wasted ur scythe ult. Please avoid using it like this, as it leads to lost ults more than anything. Another reason why u shouldnt is cause afterwards when u mark for death someone, u will not have enough hp afterwards to properly and confidently follow up on attacking someone/will generally, still be vulnerable after using it. - (How to utilize Scythe Ult) I’d say for the scythe ult, I found myself popping it whenever I respawn. Especially in conquer gamemode matches, one less person on the point means ur losing potential points, and the enemy team gaining more points over u. The time from dying, to respawning, to getting back in the action takes a bit of time, and popping the scythe ult just as u respawn when it’s made available to u makes it so u can get back to point really fast, and if ur lucky get rid of one low hp enemy in the battle, while capping ur ammunition to really fuel urself back into the fight. It’s highly beneficial to save ur ult for ur next life, instead of using it to escape death where it will take longer for u to regain shield and be able to properly get back in. Again, it also basically lets u trade removing players from the action against the enemy team. However, in times where ur not dying at all, using the rifle ult becomes a more likely and useful option atp, however using the scythe ult to catch out a retreating low hp enemy who was trying to push in and is now doing everything they can to save their life, and using it just to guarantee their death is a great use of the ult as well imo :) And that’s all my advice! Hopefully this also helps anyone who looked up scythe videos in hopes of trying to become better at playing scythe. You don’t have to follow all my advice, but it might be worth trying out. Enjoy! :>
interesting tips! this was uploaded when scythe was really new, so I wasn't too experienced. uploaded a new scythe video recently and im curious what your thoughts are
@@lavakitty89 ohh icic, understandable. I’ll comment on the newest upload, what my thoughts and reactions were and whatnot. I also realized I need to do revisions on my tips comment above lol, there’s some new stuff I learned and some things I need to rethink or rephrase on. I actually really wanna do a docs for a whole scythe guide and all that loll, but I’ll make it so it’s easily made to be a comment as well. I’ll edit my tips up there and clean it up, and yea :D Thx for the pin btw, that was unexpected but I appreciate it kek ^^
I find it weird that you don’t really use scythe’s ult more often. I personally find it better overall than rifle’s ult. Especially that you are vulnerable when you miss your rifle ult than with your scythe ult.
Something to keep note: Every Scythe ranged is a projectile. The only "exception" is the Rifle Ult in which it's either AOE hitscan or really really fast projectiles.
