Hel Scythe (Japanese: ヘル Hel) is a weapon skill in the axe category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes. It is a personal weapon of Hel; it is only used by her as an enemy, and is thus unavailable to players. As a playable unit, Hel uses the Hel's Reaper (Japanese: 死鎌ヘル Death sickle Hel), an enhanced version with a stronger effect.
