User blog comment:Gundam Legilis/Volume 1 Weapons In Depth - Ep.1 Crescent Rose/@comment-10380701-20140612112933

Scythes are only good in fictionland. In real life, they're... not as badass.

I think one of Crescent Rose's finest feature is its Recoil Boost capability. Though Gambol Shroud and Ember Celica can also do this, it appears that Crescent Rose has one of the strongest recoil boost in the series, being nearly on the same level (or on par) as Magnhild.

Ruby has, imo, the faster opponent issue covered. Just ask her semblance. :D

Also, Crescent Rose wouldn't look out of place in the BRS universe.
