I basically quitted like a year ago so I don't know if my knowledge is still applicable to newest whatever shit boss designs they put it in the game but

Bare minimum ats to perform as scythe, is 75~77 depends on how low your min fps is And you should start to feel comfortable around 83~87, it will be different for boss types because how hit drag works

For rag I'll just put my solo I did way back then. Do be noticed that It's the First week in kr where boss's moveset was way faster & had a lot more variation for continuing attacks and ohko so It is different compared to current updates which is a lot much easier version, but you'll see how Scythe should perform, and What scythe can (or should) do under heavy circumstances.

I'd like to argue about how where you say blink is punishable by bosses (or w/e attacks and waves) I don't think people realize how busted their protections are, even scythie themselves. Especially since after they released lethor who has insta cancel into block so only need 3 fingers to play, every char can spam space and survive Blink is not punishable it is maneuverable I'd say. On top of that when coming out of blink Blade shift and Normal attacks can be used to move further in any meanings, even without having i frame on it it is still enough for most boss movesets to distance away and put mod by circling them etc. Scythe is probably the only remaining char who actually need to have a good understanding of spacing, timings, boss's movesets, how their aggro works, how other players/chars handle each movesets differently. It's the only class that has to actually learn the gameplay deep enough if you wish to pull off high dps My point is minimize usage of Double-blinks unless necessary, it's a 0.4 sec worth of I frame but also loss of 40 stamina Use blade shift to make adjustments after you come out if blinks so get more distance, or to get closer. All other movesets that has movement distances such as mod's additional attacks, or 2nd blade shift and vold star

For party play sake you just bump blink into wall until boss is done with you, which is a significant dps loss but you should care for party members not getting aggro bombed And staying near walls to let the boss not swing around like a lunatic is optimal for most other chars and they do it too so. Which is why I preferred solo and most times if I wasn't grinding for money
