These priority targets could be a support player with their ultimate readily available, or a damage dealer who is the highest threat to the rest of your team. Prior to each fight you want to silently set yourself up behind enemy lines and look to take out the highest priority target. Reaper is the closest you will get to solo play in this team-based shooter. Heroes that have high mobility such as Tracer and Genji can easily get out of Reaper’s effective range and he can’t chase them, and he has no way to deal with flying heroes like Pharah and Mercy. However, he is weak against targets that excel at long range combat such as Widowmaker and Hanzo as his damage is most effective at a very short range. Reaper pairs well with heroes that can cluster up the enemy team, such as Zarya, and Reinhardt, and heroes who can protect him while he positions himself in close proximity of the enemy, such as Zarya, D.Va, and Zenyatta. Reaper is a great counter to targets with low mobility-such as Bastion, Mei, and Torbjörn-and tanks-such as Reinhardt, Zarya, and Roadhog-as he can easily burst those targets down. Maps where Reaper works well include Temple of Anubis, Volskaya Industries, Dorado point one and three, Route 66 point one and three, Watchpoint: Gibraltar point one and two, Hollywood point one and three, King’s Row, Numbani point three, and Eichenwalde point one and three. He’s great against teams with low mobility heroes and against teams with tanks that he can quickly burst down. Reaper is an offensive hero who thrives on maps that offer tight spaces, small corridors or choke points. Make sure to target low maximum health heroes first, so when you find yourself in a sustained fight you have some orbs to heal you up as the fight continues.
REAPER OVERWATCH HOW TO
It is a strength that lower level players often forget about, but which can turn a Reaper that knows how to prioritize his targets into a real menace. The Reaping is a way for Reaper to make up for his lack of mid-fight mobility by granting him a form of health regeneration. Reaper automatically collects Soul Globes when he is in a five meter radius of them. Passive: The ReapingĮvery enemy hero that dies on the battlefield drops a Soul Globe that only Reaper can see and collect. As with any offensive ultimate be wary of support ultimates, such as Lucio’s Sound Barrier and Zenyatta’s Transcendence, that can negate the damage you deal. An easier way to confirm the damage is to surprise the enemy by jumping in on them from above.ĭeath Blossom deals damage in a spherical radius meaning you will deal damage to the enemy as you jump in, while also allowing you to easily position yourself in the middle of the enemy team.
Look for opportunities to surprise the enemy with Death Blossom by waiting for your team to distract the enemy first. Reaper’s entire kit is geared towards ambushes and so is his ultimate. You want to place yourself in the middle of the enemy team, but be wary shields that can block the damage-such as Reinhardt’s Barrier, D.Va’s Defense Matrix or Winston’s Barrier Projector-or crowd control that can interrupt your ultimate, such as a Roadhog’s Chain Hook or McCree’s Flashbang. Due to Death Blossom decreasing Reaper’s movement speed, it is vital to position yourself properly before launching the ultimate. With a required charge of 1500 points, Death Blossom falls in the second-highest required point charge class of the offense heroes.ĭeath Blossom is one of the deadliest ultimates in the game if the enemy team is grouped together, which makes it a great ultimate to follow up with after a Blizzard, Graviton Surge or Earthshatter. Death Blossom deals 510 damage in an eight meter spherical radius over a period of three seconds, while lowering Reaper’s movement speed to three meters per second. Even silent assassins like to make a flashy move everyone once in a while.
