Summary & Playstyle
Reaper is a close-range brawler who thrives on flanking and shredding tanks. His Hellfire Shotguns deal devastating damage up close, while his passive lifesteal keeps him alive in extended duels. Positioning is everything for Reaper. He relies on flanking routes, teleportation, and Shadow Step to reach the enemy backline safely. Mistimed teleports or poor engagements leave him exposed, as he lacks strong defensive cooldowns outside of Wraith Form. Reaper fits best in brawl and rush compositions, pairing well with tanks who create space for him to close distance. His Death Blossom ultimate is devastating in clustered fights, especially when combined with crowd control. For players who enjoy aggressive, in-your-face DPS with self-sustain, Reaper is a consistently impactful pick.
