Reaper speculation thread

We don't know the full kit. Quit crying pls. Reaper seems promising.

Okay, watching it again, I see three green attacks, my apologies about saying two earlier. A two strike one with a horizontal right swing and an upward swing, a three strike one with the leftward attack followed by the quick reversal right and the pull, and one last two strike one with a quick diagonal up left swing, and a diagonal down left swing, with a spin between attacks.

I hope that merge with ghost mode thingy has its own glam plate, I want to turn into a snowman when channeling the power of the void.

And if Zenos is also a Reaper, what does his Avatar look like? What Voidsent did he make a pact with? ...is that Anima?

That would make an awful lot of sense.

Also we've basically seen Anima-like voidsent already: the Parthenope enemies seen in the Mhachi raids.

Something I noticed is that whenever the Voidsent does a strike (wether by summoning it or fusing with it) the Reaper has a slight green effect applied to them, similar to that of a lifesteal effect.
It may be just that, lifesteal, or MP, or another ressource entirely. Whatever it is, it seems like attacking with the Voidsent gives you something back.

We've only really focused on the gauge they mentioned (for obvious reasons), but there can of course be more than one resource/gauge for them, like other jobs have.

A pretty standard way of doing it, would be to have a gauge that fills up on normal weaponskills (all or just some of them), which allows you to summon the void avatar. Then the avatar attacks will give you another resource, which you eventually can use to merge with the avatar into that other form.

That's as far as I'm willing to take these wild speculations though.

The "lifesteal" vfx still applies while merged though, so maybe it's just lifesteal or it is used for an ability we have yet to see

^ That last response reminds me of Bad Mr. Frosty from Clay Fighters. He should be the WoL Reaper avatar.

Since Reaper is sorta toeing the necromancer line, it'd be interesting if it were to be a Melee DPS with a raise of some sort. It would need to be on a long cooldown, or reaper would need to utilize MP in some way, but it'd be a novel utility for a Melee DPS to have when it's been the realm of casters for so long.
