The Fair Helianthus is a Scythe available to Marluxia in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Fair Helianthus+.

Design

The Fair Helianthus has a curved, dark green handle with a small, black section hear its base and a flat, silver pommel. Its blade is rather large, but only slightly curved. Its upper edge is lined by two large spikes. The shaft of the blade has a small, oval-shaped notch taken out of either of its sides near its base. The edges of the scythe’s blade are bronze, the shaft is navy blue, and the rest of the blade is tan. Though it has a different coloration, the Parting Ipheion has an otherwise identical design to this scythe.

Helianthus is a genus of flowers that notably includes the sunflower. In Greek mythology, a nymph named Clytie fell in love with the embodiment of the Sun, Helios, the namesake of the Helianthus genus. She died of grief when her feelings were rejected and became a sunflower, and sunflowers have come to represent devotion because of this. Sunflowers also represent light, hope, and innocence, and were viewed in many cultures as symbols of power. "Fair" can mean "beautiful", "innocent", "pale", "just", or "reasonable".

Gameplay

Fair Helianthus's ground combo begins with a powerful 360 spin close to the ground, three slashes alternating from right, left, right, and finishes with an angle 360 slash in the air. The aerial combo is much simpler and consists of two slashes, going right, then left, and ends with an angled 360 slash.
