Key Concepts

Power Reaper fully plays into the fantasy of heavy lifesteal. Healing from all of the damage it deals through 灵魂吞噬 图标灵魂吞噬 and , including an overheal mechanic with 血库 图标血库.

It is mostly a melee spec with your Dagger skills providing some range. It gains Quickness when applying Fear or hitting "严寒刺骨!" 图标"严寒刺骨!", giving it some very strong bursts.

Damage

夺魂之幕 图标夺魂之幕 is where most of your Damage comes from. While providing Damage Reduction passively and actively with 惊惧魔甲 图标惊惧魔甲. 夺魂之幕 图标夺魂之幕 also generates high amounts of Might by entering it and hitting auto-attacks.

  • Your auto-attack chain deals amazing damage. It is a bit slow without Quickness but is still worth using if high on 夺魂之幕 图标夺魂之幕 lifeforce.
  • 死亡冲刺 图标死亡冲刺 is the only mobility inside of 夺魂之幕 图标夺魂之幕. It's hard to chase targets with it but can be used to travel a fight. It also Blocks Projectiles.
  • 惊惧魔甲 图标惊惧魔甲 is a huge Damage reduction and Stability source. It's very important to press when cleaving multiple targets to not get bursted back. Its second use, 惊惧释放 图标惊惧释放, will fear every enemy around you granting you some very important Quickness.
  • 灵魂漩涡 图标灵魂漩涡 has the highest damage potential when cleaving multiple targets and has almost twice the range of your autoattacks. Try to use it with Quickness but it isn't mandatory.
  • 处决镰刀 图标处决镰刀 can be awkward to use. It has a very long cast time during which you won't deal damage. Use it with Quickness on targets with low resources or when kiting to Chill anyone chasing you.

Spear is a massive source of Damage but sadly doesn't have access to Fear. Dealing damage while using it will also heal you thanks to its core mechanic soul shards. You should use it to do a simple combo.

  1. 与世隔绝 图标与世隔绝悲痛欲绝 图标悲痛欲绝
  2. 腐坏纷争 图标腐坏纷争
  3. 千疮百孔 图标千疮百孔

You can also use 斩草除根 图标斩草除根 after 与世隔绝 图标与世隔绝 for a slower but higher burst, it will make you lose any element of surprise because of 斩草除根 图标斩草除根 cast time.

It is worth noting that 悲痛欲绝 图标悲痛欲绝 will reset the cooldown of 千疮百孔 图标千疮百孔.

Dagger doesn't bring as much damage as Spear. Instead it will provide Crowd Control you can use to setup 夺魂之幕 图标夺魂之幕.

Your elite "严寒刺骨!" 图标"严寒刺骨!" is an AoE Stun, also giving you Quickness if used in melee range.

Defense

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

"弱者退散!" 图标"弱者退散!" Stun Break but also applies Weakness, use it to lower a burst !

瘟疫纹章 图标瘟疫纹章 is your main Condition Removal. Note that it will not remove conditions if your target dodges 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. It also provides Might and applies Weakness.

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.
