VAMPIR/Classes
Melee classGrim Reaper overview
Grim Reaper is VAMPIR's assassin, a melee class that fights at 3 m with a scythe of shadow and carries the client's Assassination tag. Its kit is about burst on one target. Shadow Infiltration teleports in from 9 m for 400%, shields it for 200% of its attack and sets a 3-second Death Mark that deals 60% of the damage taken inside it again when it ends. Lord of Darkness hits for 800%. Contempt for the Weak adds 12% damage to targets under 70% HP and another 12% under 30%.
It is the class with the widest gap between modes. In PvE it is B: the slowest farmer of the five, held back by long skill animations, yet the top damage on short bosses and on Naricanje Valley's season floor 30. In PvP it is A, tied with Akasha for the best duellist and weaker in group fights. Pick Grim Reaper if duels and boss damage are what you want, and expect hunting to be slow. As a free first character it is a hard start; it works best beside a second character that does the hunting.
How to play Grim Reaper in PvE
Grim Reaper hunts slowly. Of its 15 skills only Spinning Strike and Royal Shout hit more than one target, both capped at 5, and its skills take longer to play out than other classes'. It clears the field, but at the same power Viper and Bloodstained level faster, and it is the class least suited to farming.
Bosses are where it earns its place. Open with Shadow Infiltration and land your heaviest skills inside its 3-second Death Mark: whatever the boss takes in that window comes back at 60% when the mark ends, capped at 50% of max HP. On a boss that dies quickly it is the strongest class, and on Naricanje Valley's season floor 30 it posts the highest damage of the five, ahead of Viper.
A long fight drops it to the upper middle. Its damage comes in bursts every 20 seconds, when Shadow Infiltration is back, and between them it hits no harder than the other classes.
How to play Grim Reaper in PvP
One on one, Grim Reaper ties Akasha for the best class. Shadow Infiltration closes 9 m at once and can stun for 1 second, Dark Binding roots for 2.5 seconds from 9 m and cuts PvP damage resistance by 10%, and Contempt for the Weak turns a half-dead target into a finished one. After a kill, Assassination has a 40% chance of 4 seconds of stealth with a 70% stun on the next hit, which is how it chains from one victim to the next.
In group fights the kit that wins duels works against it. It picks one target at a time and has no cleanse, so it slides toward B in big clan wars. Its best clan work is roaming alone in Skirmish, catching players away from their group, and Shadow of the Night's 10 seconds of stealth suits that job.

Boss skill order
For bosses, open with Shadow Infiltration and spend its 3-second Death Mark on your heaviest skills. By the numbers, these are the three.
- Shadow Infiltration: teleports in, shields you and sets the Death Mark.
- Lord of Darkness: 800% in one hit.
- Royal Shout: 200% and 500%.
- Spinning Strike: five hits of 140%.
Power spike
It gives 10 seconds of stealth and 30% move speed, basic attacks at +500% normal damage rate, and 20% more damage of every kind for 6 seconds once the stealth breaks. That makes it useful twice: an opener that starts a duel on Grim Reaper's terms, and an escape when one goes wrong. It also suits the lone roaming in Skirmish that is the class's best clan job.
Bloodshapes for Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper weapons
Grim Reaper has six scythes. Four climb the PvE line, each adding melee attack and critical damage. The Prophet pair trades critical damage for PvP attack and PvP damage amplification. A combat preset swaps weapons in one tap, so if you play both modes, keep one of each line.
| Weapon | Grade | Use | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flash of Judgment Scythe | Heroic T1 | PvE | Melee attack 42, weapon attack 95-357, critical damage 27 |

| Great Prophet's Scythe | Legendary T1 | PvP | Melee attack 30, PvP attack 42, weapon attack 130-502, PvP damage amp 7%. On a basic attack, 7% chance: stuns the target for 2.5 s. |
Changing to Grim Reaper
Your Legendary Rescuer pieces come across with no conversion. Since Grim Reaper farms slowest, a hunting main that changes into it gives up the most levelling speed afterwards.
- Opens only in announced windows. Needs character level 60 and 2,000 Diamonds (Farming Diamonds count).
- Level, EXP, quests and items carry over. Weapons of any class become Grim Reaper scythes at the same grade, enhancement, refinement and Blessing.
- Only the old class's own Bloodshapes convert, grade for grade, and never into one you already own. Skill cards keep the highest grade of each. Quick slots and skill settings reset.
| Converting | Class Change Proofs |
|---|---|
| Mythic Bloodshape | 1,200 (one at most) |
| Legendary Bloodshape | 100 |
| Heroic Bloodshape | free |
| Legendary weapon | 250 (three at most) |
| Heroic weapon | 25 |
| Rare weapon | free |
| Heroic skill | 12 |
| Rare or lower skill | free |
Grim Reaper compared with the other classes
AkashaIts equal in duels. Akasha's cleanse and three dashes make it stronger in Arena and group fights, and it hunts better once geared.
ViperSecond to Grim Reaper on Naricanje Valley's season floor 30 and far better at farming. The free player's pick of the two.
BloodstainedSteadier on every boss that lasts, and the safest class to leave hunting. Grim Reaper wins the short fights.
CarnageThe other burst class, at range. Shadow Infiltration teleports onto Carnage and takes away the distance it needs.
