Lost Ark – Reaper Class Breakdown

Lost Ark – Reaper Class Breakdown

How The Identity Works

Reaper has 3 kinds of skills. Harvest, shadow and raid skills. The first 2 fill up the green stealth gauge as well as the red chaos gauge. When the green bar is filled you can enter the shadow state that will allow you to create a clone.

This clone can be controlled by pressing down shift. It will send the clone to where your mouse cursor is at the time of pressing the button. For every second you are in shadow state you gain a stack of 30% movement speed and 25% damage towards your raid skills.

Filling up the red chaos gauge provides a 15% crit chance and damage boost as well as 10% move and attack speed. You can maintain the bar by using shadow or harvest skills. Failure to do so after 8 seconds will cause the bar to deplete and you will have to rebuild it.

Moon Engraving

This engraving allows you to skip waiting 5 seconds to gain the max 125% damage stacks and the engraving levels apply the following damage stacks. Lvl. 1: +120% Lvl. 2: +140% Lvl. 3: +160%

For this build the main goal is to stay in shadow state as much as possible so you can maintain the 160% damage boost. Generally the skill rotations would be purple and green to fill up shadow gauge. Then activate the shadow state so you can finish off with a red skill. For reaper, specialty stat governs the damage output of shadow state and awakening skill as well as gauge build up. Having high spec allows you to further increase your damage output. This build is geared towards burst damage vs the constant damage from thirst.
