Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Condition Reaper is a pure teamfight dps. As such it will struggle a lot in games where it does not have a support. Even with a support your positioning is very important to deal damage while being pressured as little as possible.

It relies on applying Chilled with 致命冰冻 图标致命冰冻 so it also applies Bleeding.

"灵魂夺取!" 图标"灵魂夺取!" generates life force even out of combat. Use it in your spawn when the game starts or in between fights to generate some.

Damage

Chilled being our main source of damage because of 致命冰冻 图标致命冰冻. We will go over the best ways to apply it.

Shouts are by far your most reliable source of Chilled. relic of the reaper makes all of them apply it with an internal cooldown of just a second.

We mentioned earlier 处决镰刀 图标处决镰刀. It is the first part of a 2 skill combo from 夺魂之幕 图标夺魂之幕 and is by far your biggest form of pressure.

处决镰刀 图标处决镰刀, even if dodged, will put down a frost Combo Field. Using 灵魂漩涡 图标灵魂漩涡 inside said frost Combo Field will trigger multiple times, sending freezing bolts to nearby enemies. You can also use 死亡冲刺 图标死亡冲刺 inside of it for Frost Aura.

Your weapon skills all are aoe and apply conditions.

吞噬黑暗 图标吞噬黑暗 is better used after 死亡束缚 图标死亡束缚 and "死亡将临!" 图标"死亡将临!" to apply a high amount of Torment.

痛苦浪潮 图标痛苦浪潮 goes in a cone in front of you. It is lower range than every other skill but don't over commit just to hit it, better stay in a safe spot and use it later.

Use 鲜血印记 图标鲜血印记 and 凛冬印记 图标凛冬印记 off cooldown and add the occasional 夺魂印记 图标夺魂印记 to ensure they hit.

Most of your abilities are aoes but do not greed by trying to spread your damage too much. Focusing down one target is always better.

Defense

鬼灵影步 图标鬼灵影步 is your only stunbreak. It will also offer you a teleport back to the place you first used it.

Your heal skill, "灵魂夺取!" 图标"灵魂夺取!", has quite low cd and as such should be used often rather than saved for the last second.

夺魂之幕 图标夺魂之幕 provides a 50% strike damage reduction. You can use it to survive a burst in addition of 惊惧魔甲 图标惊惧魔甲 to reduce the damage even more and give you Stability.
