11 The Chain-Sickle (also called the chain scythe in some preview coverage) is one of the seven weapon types Elliot can equip. It performs ranged swings and circular area attacks, giving it a wider effective reach than close-quarters weapons, and its charged special shifts from offense to control by dragging enemies in.

33 The Chain-Sickle is not available in the Prologue Demo and unlocks later in the full game. Its magicite can still be found in chests beforehand and saved for when the weapon becomes available.

55 Attack Behavior
66  
77 Basic Chain-Sickle attacks send the sickle out on its chain in wide arcing swings, dealing damage across a circular zone around Elliot. This area coverage suits groups of enemies more than a precise single-target weapon would. The combat system's two-weapon loadout means it pairs well with a focused option like the Sword or Spear for single-target follow-up.

1111 Holding the attack button triggers a pull: the chain retracts and drags nearby enemies toward Elliot. This can cluster scattered foes for a follow-up hit or reposition a single enemy away from a hazardous spot. Exact range, pull strength, and stagger values are not documented on this page.

1515 Magicite for the Chain-Sickle covers shared pieces (Attack Up, Critical Rate Up, Charge Time Down, Critical Damage Up) as well as the weapon-specific pieces below. Higher rarity can strengthen an effect or lower its equip cost, depending on the piece. The table lists every piece available for the Chain-Sickle, with its effect at one star, its effect at five stars where it scales, and its equip cost. See Magicite for how pieces are formed and the Magicite Box for equip-cost limits.

23+For the starting capacity of 15, one-star Attack Up, Critical Damage Up and Charge Time Down cost 13 together. The complete five-piece examples below need expanded capacity. The totals use all one-star or all five-star pieces; add the displayed costs separately when mixing rarities.

26+Leave some space for the circular swing, since parts of the attack can miss targets that are too close. Double Swing supports regular attacks in the utility set. Succor Stance restores Life only when a special attack hits while its Life condition is met. At one star, Risky Gamble deals 1 damage to Elliot if a special attack misses an enemy. The status set applies stun with special attacks and freeze with regular attacks, then uses Afflicted Efficacy against affected targets.
