The Obsidian Lamina is a Reaper in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Shadow of the Erdtree. It is found around Enir-Ilim in the expansion, which opens only once Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood are beaten.

Why Players Pick It

Highest innate bleed in the class at 68, joint-lightest at 7.5, with C Dex / D Arc and 294 physical at max standard. It shares the regular Scythe's double-slash R2, so it inherits the double-application heavy. The problem is timing: it comes at the end of Sir Ansbach's questline in Enir-Ilim after Promised Consort Radahn, which is the last thing in the DLC, it is a New Game+ weapon in practice.

Upgrades

It takes Somber Smithing Stones rather than the common kind, one per level up to +10, and it keeps its own skill for good: no Ash of War will replace it and no affinity will re-cut its scaling.

Skill

Dynastic Sickleplay costs 7 / 9 / 9 FP. A finessed evasive skill that creates space to maneuver. Inputs dictate direction of the backstep. Follow up with strong attack to perform an advancing upward slash. Press strong attack again to bring the weapon back down. It belongs to this weapon alone: no Ash of War will move it onto anything else, and nothing will replace it here.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at E, Dex at C and Arc at D, so Dex is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 12, Dex 25 and Arc 17 before you can lift it. Because the skill is its own, the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round. It also causes blood loss buildup (68) on its own, with no infusion needed.

Notes

Signature weapon of the Pureblood Knight Ansbach. A viciously keen and slender scythe made for combat. The obsidian edge relies not upon trickery to fulfil its violent purpose: through skill alone the wielder can rip and rend through foes, sowing blossoms of red upon the battlefield.
