A bewitching weapon whose blade is studded with smaller daggers.
Description
The crescent sickle is a weapon for Yuffie in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It starts with five materia slots, and teaches Yuffie the Shooting Star ability, which throws Yuffie's shuriken for physical damage at all targets it comes across.
Crescent sickle's attributes specialize Yuffie toward magic damage. Its weapon skills are built toward boosting Yuffie's ATB gauge building.
Obtained[]
Crescent sickle is awarded by earning a Rank III score on the Glide de Chocobo Training Course No. 1 minigame in the Cosmo Canyon Region. This is first available in chapter 10, "Watcher of the Vale". The minigame is unlocked in the "Bonds of Trust" sidequest.

Use[]
The crescent sickle builds Yuffie heavily toward magic damage, with the highest boost to her Magic Attack of any of her weapons, but the lowest Attack Power. Yuffie's ninjutsu normal attack, her magic-based weapon abilities (such as Banishment), and her Doppelgänger ability allowing her to cast spells twice (or four times if from Arcane Ward), make her a very strong potential spellcaster if built this way.
Because Yuffie's attributes are balanced, equipping crescent sickle would heavily boost her toward magic damage. However, these balanced attributes, and many of her physical-based weapon abilities (such as Blindside and Shooting Star) would be sacrificed somewhat if she is specialized so heavily toward magic damage. If more balance, but still a lean toward magic damage, is preferred, 
Savage Dagger has a slightly smaller magic attack boost but a stronger attack power boost, and similar weapon skills.
Yuffie's spellcasting potential is excellent with Doppelgänger, making crescent sickle an ideal weapon for her in the endgame.
