The reaper specializes in various reaper skills and highly depends on such in terms of combat in order to deal damage from close range and attempt to avoid getting hit. Most reaper skills can only be used while scythes are equipped.

There are currently 20 reaper skills which can only be learned by the Reaper. While only 4 of them can be learned as the reaper levels up, Spiral Barrage Spiral Barrage, Double Shear Double Shear, Retaliate (Reaper) Retaliate (Reaper), Retribution Retribution, Veil of Shadows Veil of Shadows and Shadow Step Shadow Step are gained automatically upon character creation, and Sundering Strike Sundering Strike, Grim Strike Grim Strike, Death Spiral Death Spiral, Whipsaw Whipsaw, Whipsaw Vampiric Whipsaw, Smite Smite, Smite Brutal Smite, Pendulum Strike Pendulum Strike, Shadow Burst Shadow Burst and Cable Step Cable Step are quest rewards.

Most of the skills can be enhanced with a glyph with a cost of a certain glyph points up to 50 points, depending on the character's level.

Icon Name Level Glyphs Description
Spiral Barrage Spiral Barrage 50 Strike one or more targets at melee and mid range, and gain MP with each hit.

While preparing, you also ignore all damage and become immune to all effects. Attack speed does not affect the Retribution skill.
Shadow Step Shadow Step 50 Instantly leap forward to evade enemy attacks. You can Shadow Step twice within 4 seconds, and you can change direction between leaps.

In PvP, the effect of healing skills on enemy players is reduced when they are hit by the spinning scythes by 6% per hit (stacks up to 5).
