Scythe line
The scythe is 3* does split normal/Peircing damage. It is a average speed sword and its combo is like the spur. The charge is a spin which does low knockback but massive damage. Everytime you bit someone, specks of light and a ghost flies out. This represents the soul being ripped out.

Line(s)
Scythe
3*Scythe: Afromentioned above
4*Reaper: More damage, has a very weak(1 in a million) chance of causing one hit kill on normal enermies called Reaper's Touch.
5*Apocalypse: More Damage and causes reapers chance still at that very low rate(10 in a million).

Cerberus(pure shadow)
3*Scythe: same as above
4*Cerberus: Low chance of dealing Fire. Spin radius is smaller than Scythe lines but releases a hell hound in the direction of the player that causes fire.
5*Spawn of Typhon: Higher chance of dealing fire. Hellhound has 3 heads and homes in on a nearby enermy and a big radius to deal fire.

Rapture(elemental/normal)
3*Scythe:SAME! WHY ARE YOU READING THIS PART!
4*Rapture: Like the Scythe line, but deals rare chances of stun with or without charge.
5*Judgement Blade: Stronger version of Rapture

Split damage. Will only kill gremlin/beasts (and flourish already does a better job for that, even if gremlins are not its intended target)
I stopped reading after that.

Split special damage sucks

Split special damage sucks period. You end up with 2 enemies that are weak to the weapon... gremlin/beast for the first, undead/fiend for the last and 4 enemies that resist it, even if weak to part of it.

Scythe line: Don't think anything should auto-kill enemies, and that being said 10:1,000,000 chance to inflict an instant kill is not worth crafting the weapon. Also the split damage kills it.

Cerberus line: Pure shadow, or even normal/shadow is nice. The charge attack sounds like a mix of Levi Blade and Combuster(with a reskinned charge). I like this one.

Rapture: Split damage again, is plain yuck. Stun is not one of the status effects I purposefully try to inflict, but assuming Low chance of Moderate Stun wouldn't be bad. Aside from the split damage not bad.

That was for PvE... for PvP I like all of them (except my note for the charge for the Scythe line). Any of them could see use. T3 I could see them all getting used. T2 the Scythe could be good enough to be interesting.

For PvE you'd only see me using Rapture or Scythe lines to level them up for PvP, the Cerberus line I'd probably use... might even replace my Acheron.

Thanks for the feedback

@Juances
Atleast read the rest!

@Gwen
Thanks, I like cerberus compared to Rapture and Reaper. I thought Rapture is reaper with Stun replacing Reapers Touch. Reaper I based on CIV. Cerberus is more the Howitzer's Head attack and dissapates after a while.

In general, scythe will change to Pierce/normal, Rapture is Elemental/normal.
