Otherworldy scythe that gains healing upon elimination!

— In-Game Description

Functionality

The Sideways Scythe has three abilities:

The player can swing the Scythe to deal damage to opponents and structures. Players can chain together attacks to attack more quickly.
The player can sprint forward with the alternate fire button, causing them to run at a high speed in the forwards direction. If the player intercepts with an opponent or structure they will attack automatically. This goes on a short cooldown after use.
The player can do a jump attack in which they will gain a good amount of vertical and horizontal moment and slam into the ground, dealing damage. This does not prevent fall damage.

Sideways Scythes range from dealing 40 damage per shot to 47 damage per shot ( 80 - 94 damage per second)

The Sideways Scythe is a Melee Weapon, and its attacks connect instantly with opponents and structures.
