The Noble Peony is a Scythe that can be wielded by Marluxia in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Noble Peony+.

Design

The Noble Peony has a curved, green handle that darkens toward its top. There is a small, yellow section near the handle's base, and its pommel is flat and black. The blade is comprised by a large cross with wide, rounded tips. The tip of the arm of the cross that makes up the blade is decorated by a yellow diamond surrounded by a navy blue teardrop shape. Each of the other three tips is decorated by a yellow teardrop shape surrounded by a thin, blue-white. The edges of the scythe's blade are predominantly dark blue, except for the tip of the main blade, which is blue-white. The middle of the shaft has a large, diamond-shaped gap in it, and a white "Y"-shaped piece of metal extending into this gap from the back arm of the cross.

Paeonia is a genus of plants and the only genus in the family of Paeoniaceae. Peony flowers represent healing, protection, shame, compassion, and bashfulness. The word "noble" here refers to aristocracy.

Gameplay

Noble Peony's ground combo consists of two slashes from left, to right, then the weapon is swung up and to the left, bringing Marluxia into the air, before tossing the weapon in the air three times and finishing with a 360 slash. The Aerial combo begins with two slashes from left then to the right before tossing the weapon in the air once and finishing with a 360 spin.
