The Winged Scythe is a Reaper in Elden Ring. It turns up early in a run, in the Weeping Peninsula.

The Winged Scythe is a sacred scythe shaped like a pair of white wings that deals holy damage; in pagan belief, white-winged maidens are Death's gentle envoys. It sits in a chest in a small room at the end of the underground hall beneath the Tombsward Ruins on the western Weeping Peninsula. It carries the reaper moveset, bleed buildup and partial block bypass, but most of its damage is holy, which also gives it strong holy guarding. Its unique skill, Angel's Wings, leaps and slashes with a light-imbued blade, and players struck by it cannot use the Flask of Crimson Tears for 30 seconds. It is a strong early weapon for a Dexterity and Faith build.

Stats

The Winged Scythe is a strong early weapon for Faith builds, especially Dexterity and Faith hybrids, with 87 physical and 104 holy at +0 plus 55 blood loss buildup. Angel's Wings stops a struck player from drinking Crimson Tears for a while, which gives it real bite in PvP. It upgrades with Somber stones.

Skill

Angel's Wings costs 17 FP. The wielder steps in, wreathes the scythe's wing-blade in white light, and leaps into a rising slash followed by a descending sweep. The wielder has super armor while airborne. Players struck by the white wings are blocked from drinking Flasks of Crimson Tears for a time, which makes it a punishing tool in PvP. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"Jump and imbue the wing-blade of the armament with light, then deliver a slashing attack on the enemy. The white wings impede recovery actions using a flask of tears."

Suggested Build

An early Dexterity and Faith hybrid that fights at reaper range and uses Angel's Wings to close gaps and, in PvP, shut off an opponent's healing.

Stats	Dexterity 60, Faith 45, Vigor 40 then 60, Mind about 29, Endurance about 20, Strength 16
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Sacred Scorpion Charm, Shard of Alexander, Lord of Blood's Exultation
Pairs With	Golden Vow
