Hallow Scythe is a Mythical Sword added in Update 16. It is one of the most unique weapons because its Z move has huge range and works as a grapple/pull. It is favored by bounty hunters who want to catch runners.
Warning: Getting this requires RNG luck from the Haunted Castle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 2x Boss Drop pass help?
Yes. The Gamepass doubles the drop chance from ~5% to ~10%. If you are hunting for this sword, the Gamepass saves a lot of time.
Can I get Hallow Essence from enemies?
No. Only from the Death King Gacha or finding it on the ground (extremely rare spawn in Haunted Castle only during events).
Is it better than Cursed Dual Katana?
For Combos, yes. It’s a better starter. For Raw Damage, no. CDK hits harder.
