* The handle part of the scythe's hitbox has a smaller arc than the blade part, leaving a small space nearby to the sides where enemies cannot be hit.
	+ Area/range increases scale up Scythe Swing's hitbox as whole, also increasing the range of the dead zone to the sides.
* Scythe Swing is affected by the area increase of Knightly Milk.
* "KO" property of the awakened form is an effect capable of instantly defeating an enemy regardless of their remaining HP. This effect does NOT work on Bosses however.

## Trivia

* **Scythe Swing** or specifically Scythe Swinging Lesson is used by Calli as a euphemism for her previous day job before her channel was monetized. The job involved teaching children how to "swing a scythe".
	+ Due to the way Calli communicates in English with Japanese members and the way she sets up her Eikaiwa/English Lesson streams implies she has experience as an English language teacher.
	+ Calli has since quit that job to free up time to make more contents, particularly music.
