Grave Scythe is a Reaper that scale primary with Strength and Dexterity. It can be infused with Ashes of War, buffed with magic and consumables. What I like about this weapon is that it inflicts bleed buildup and has low stat requirements, making it a strong choice early on.

Combine with Sword Dance ash of war, you Dash forward and unleash a flurry of upward spinning slashes, by pressing the skill button once more time, you can unleash a devastating downward follow-up attack.
