				Elfriede's Stance								-(-/18)

A great scythe wielded by Sister Elfriede, with a curved blade thinly coated by Painted World frost that easily breaks the guard of shields.

In the painting, the scythe is a symbol of a long-lost home, possibly explaining Elfriede's preference for it.

Skill: Elfriede's Stance

Conjure a magic bladed support scythe into the left hand while the great scythe remains in the right, a stance derived from Elfriede's former swordmanship. Use normal attack to leap forward and swing twice, or strong attack to coat the earth with running frost.

Notes and Tips

• Cannot be Infused or Buffed.
• Upgrades with Titanite Scales.
• Has a unique, 3 cycle, light attack moveset that no other Reaper has when two-handed.
• Has 643 splitAR at 40/40 DEX/INT. The main scythe the player uses only deals the physical portion. The magic damage only comes from the Weapon Art.
• The smaller scythe is put on the back of character when the skill isn't used.
• On stairs in close quarters, the scythe swings low and sometimes misses the enemy.
• This is the only Scythe that has innate Frostbite effect.
• The larger scythe can be parried during the weapon art, the smaller scythe cannot.
• Has innate shield pierce: 40% on all attacksand all hits from the weapon art including the magic damage from the smaller scythe but not the ice/magic explosion.
• Has a "sweet spot" like all scythes, but functions differently. If the player hits with the shaft of the weapon, there is no effect on their damage. However, if the player hits with the blade, they deal 15% more damage.
