Thematically Scythes are harvesters. Of both wheat like plants and lives.
Commonly associated with farmers and Reapers/Necromancers.

AOE attacks are a possible choice given their size and weight.

Debilitating status/debuff inflicters to represent the death like attributes.

Maybe even stealing buffs if you can figure that out given their "harvesting" nature.

In Fell Seal, I recall them giving Scythes a high Crit chance...or was it Crit Multiplier? I forgot...

Cross slash - Hits multiples enemies
Death Slash - Instantly kills enemies depending on roll; heavy damage to boss
Criss/Cross - Double damage on single enemy
"Elemental/Dark Slash" - Dark physical to enemy (since you have a dark knight)
Drain Slash - Absorb HP or MP
Debuff Slash - Lowers physical def or Dark magic defense
Scythe Twirl - Cause enemy to lose turn or causes a dazzle effect
Crit Slash - Chance for crit or no damage

If your combat system separates slashing from stabbing, have the Scythe be the weapon where executing Slashing/Stabbing damage are switched around (ie making a stabbing motion with a scythe causes it to slice the target, making a slicing motion with a scythe causes it to stab the target).

If positioning is a thing in your combat system, perhaps a short-range move that has the scythe-user drag the target even closer using the side of the blade facing the holder?

@derge12 What kind of battle system are you using anyway? That would help narrow down the answers...
