Reaper, the third advanced class for the Assassin, is now playable in Lost Ark: Feast with Friends Update. What does this dagger-wielding class have to offer? Read further to learn more.
The Fate of the Enemy is Grim
The Reaper’s identity revolves around three different attack modes. The Normal Mode is the one that the Reaper starts with. While in this mode, two meters start filling up depending on certain factors.
The “Persona Meter” fills up over time, though this process can be sped up every time one of the Reaper’s skills hit the target. The “Chaos Meter,” on the other hand, is filled up through the continuous use of Dagger and Shadow skills while the Persona Meter is full. It’s important to note that the "Z" key should not be used when attempting to max up the Chaos Meter because doing so causes the Reaper to enter Persona Mode.
Anyway, a few things happen when Persona Mode is activated. First, the Reaper summons a Shadow Illusion. Second, they become stealthy and gain a huge 30% movement speed boost; useful when trying to get behind enemies. And third, the gauge starts decreasing slowly and the Reaper goes back to Normal Mode once it’s depleted. In addition, the damage of their “Swoop Skills” is increased by 25% which can stack up to five times.
Unlike the previous mode, the Reaper enters Chaos Mode just by filling up the Chaos Meter. In other words, it cannot be activated manually. Despite this limitation, Chaos Mode provides the Reaper with amazing buffs, including a 15% increase in critical rate, a 10% increased movement speed, and a 10% increased attack speed.
The mode lasts for nine seconds initially, but as long as the Dagger Skills hit the enemy during this time, while also utilizing Shadow Skills occasionally, the Reaper can enjoy being in Chaos Mode for as long as they like.
