Obtaining the Frozen Scythe:

The journey begins upon unlocking the Ice Collection VIII. Here, players can craft the Frozen Scythe using 64 Enchanted Packed Ice and 2 Sticks.

Upgrading the Frozen Scythe:

This sword boasts multiple upgrade options:

  • Sword Enchantments

Notably, the Frozen Scythe can also be morphed into the Glacial Scythe and be boosted with Power Scrolls.

The Frozen Scythe made its debut on December 17th, 2019. Subsequent patches in July 2020 saw tweaks in its ability damage, oscillating between buffs and nerfs.

The Glacial Scythe Upgrade: From a YouTube Insight:

A recent update to the winter Island has reinvigorated interest in the Frozen Scythe, particularly with the addition of the Glacial Scythe upgrade. This upgrade, while deemed expensive by many, is a tantalizing attraction for those chasing endgame content.

  • 40 Glacial Fragments
  • 3 stacks of Enchanted Packed Ice
  • 64 Hunk of Blue Ice

The YouTube review draws attention to the Glacial Scythe's impressive capabilities. Despite its massive cost (around 110 million coins), the Glacial Scythe boasts a unique explosion effect and performs on par, if not better than, the Spirit Scepter in many scenarios.
