This special attack costs 50% of the player’s special attack energy. When activated, it can hit up to three targets within a 3×3 area, making it incredibly effective in multi-combat scenarios.

Usage in PvM

In PvM encounters, the Corrupted Scythe of Vitur shines due to its high damage output and area-of-effect special attack. It is particularly useful in boss fights where multiple enemies may be present. For example:

Theatre of Blood: The scythe is favored for its ability to quickly eliminate minions while dealing substantial damage to bosses.

Slayer Tasks: Players often use the scythe for efficient killing of larger groups of monsters.

Comparison with Other Weapons

When compared to other top-tier melee weapons, the Corrupted Scythe of Vitur stands out significantly:

Scythe of Vitur: The original version lacks the special attack potency and damage output of its corrupted form.
Bludgeon: While the Bludgeon offers strong single-target damage, it lacks the area-of-effect capabilities of the Corrupted Scythe.
Abbysal Tentacle: Although the Abyssal Tentacle boasts a fast attack speed, it falls short in overall damage and versatility.

In many scenarios, the Corrupted Scythe of Vitur exceeds the performance of these alternatives, particularly in multi-target situations.

Amulet: Amulet of Torture for a significant strength boost.
Rings: Ring of Suffering or Berserker Ring for added damage potential.

Combining these items with the scythe can yield exceptional results in both PvM and PvP scenarios.
