I'd say make it Lakrimae but worse by one tier. Lakrimae has a number of improvements:
Loses 1 Str compared to the regular scythe but gains Poisoned 3, which is a small improvement but we can say it's a flavorful Typhon improvement
+1 to Reaping Blow
Full AP2 instead of AP3 Breaching 5+
Damage 2
Easiest proposal for Scythes (mantaining price) would be I-1 A(U) S+1 AP3 Breaching 5+ D2 Reaping 2
Lighter than a hammer, but faster, and even more scary against VEQ, so there's its niche.
My main problem is Reaping now only activating after the entire squad is outnumbered. I'd rather have it activate like it was before, when you were in multiple base contact
