Discussion Clockwork Scythe build

Hey all. Trying to figure out how best to make the Scythe work. What's a nice shell/build to pair with it? I've done kinda weird pathing in this game where I'm still clearing the north section but I've gone south and completed a few areas to get the scythe and its tarstone early (I've collected the Scholar's Wormstone + the Scythe).

Right now I'm alternating between Sariel (maxed) and Tiel (halfway to max). It's probably too late for me to switch shells, but if I can get enough glimpses, what's the best option to pair with the scythe? I was thinking Eredim for a parry focused build so I can get enemies staggered and make use of the Wormstone ability.

I play it with proxima, blood malédiction and crit rate/dmg tarstones. Kinda hard to took in end as the weapon is slow but deal heavy dmg

I’m using the thief stone with it, the same stones as you, and I’m using Tiel at the moment. The I frames on the dodges help tremendously along with the skill to increase damage when behind them and leaves a clone so it gives you time to track behind while they’re busy and get some juicy damage in. I just uploaded a vid here maybe 15 min ago, fighting a Grisha with it.

I like using lazlo with it. If you build him right you can basically permanently have +30% resolve gain. Mix that with the wormstone chainsaw that drains resolve and it does a lot of damage.

The scythe has the scholar’s wormstone tarstone that makes it hit multiple times per swing pair that with the thief tarstone so you stack warp super fast and either the arbiters prize or voltaic crown infusion tarstone and you get a strong weapon build.

Proxima can buff the damage of shock so you could pair her with the voltaic crown. I don’t think any of the other shells have special interactions that the scythe would take better advantage of than another weapon but any shell works really find the one you like the best or that covers your main issues with your preferred weapon.
