What is Reaper's Playstyle?

Reaper Job Stone FFXIV Reaper is a scythe-wielding melee job with a gauge-based playstyle and a fast-paced burst phase. It wears maiming-style armor and focuses on Strength as its primary stat.

Reaper enters battle with a flexible rotation that focuses on using abilities and weaponskills to build and spend its two main resources: Soul and Shroud. With enough Shroud, the Reaper can enter Enshroud — a powerful, fast-paced burst window that ends with a massive AoE finisher.

Thanks to the job’s flexible rotation and burst phase, most practical optimizations focus on funneling as much damage as possible into party buff windows. Overall, Reaper is an "easy to play but difficult to master" job with plenty of room for micro-gains.

Reaper Gauges

Reaper FFXIV Soul and Shroud Gauge

The Soul (top, red) and Shroud (bottom, blue) Gauges display your current amount of each corresponding resource.

You generate Soul by using your basic combo (Slice Icon Slice, Waxing Slice Icon Waxing Slice, Infernal Slice Icon Infernal Slice, Spinning Scythe Icon Spinning Scythe, Nightmare Scythe Icon Nightmare Scythe), ranged abilities (Harpe Icon Harpe, Harvest Moon Icon Harvest Moon) and Soul-type weaponskills (Soul Slice Icon Soul Slice, Soul Scythe Icon Soul Scythe). Additionally, enemies that die while affected by Death's Design (applied by Shadow of Death Icon Shadow of Death and Whorl of Death Icon Whorl of Death) also grant Soul.

Soul is spent on Blood Stalk Icon Blood Stalk (or its variants: Unveiled Gibbet Icon Unveiled Gibbet, Unveiled Gallows Icon Unveiled Gallows), Grim Swathe Icon Grim Swathe, or Gluttony Icon Gluttony. These abilities enable you to use your Shroud-building weaponskills.

Shroud is generated by using Gibbet Icon Gibbet, Gallows Icon Gallows, or Guillotine Icon Guillotine after Grim Swathe Icon Grim Swathe or any variant of Blood Stalk Icon Blood Stalk; and by using the stronger Executioner counterparts — Executioner's Gibbet Icon Executioner's Gibbet, Executioner's Gallows Icon Executioner's Gallows, Executioner's Guillotine Icon Executioner's Guillotine — after Gluttony Icon Gluttony.

Reaper FFXIV Death Gauge

The Death Gauge unlocks at level 80 upon learning Enshroud Icon Enshroud. You spend 50 Shroud, or Ideal Host (granted by Plentiful Harvest Icon Plentiful Harvest), to enter Enshroud and gain access to powerful new abilities. Lemure Orbs (blue) are used for the fast-paced weaponskills like Void Reaping Icon Void Reaping, Cross Reaping Icon Cross Reaping and Grim Reaping Icon Grim Reaping, or for the slower finisher Communio Icon Communio. Spending a Lemure Orb will generates a Void Orb (purple), and two of these can be spent on Lemure's Slice Icon Lemure's Slice and Lemure's Scythe Icon Lemure's Scythe. Additionally, Sacrificium Icon Sacrificium can be used once per Enshroud window at no cost.

Lastly, once every two minutes, Reaper gains a free Enshroud window through Arcane Circle Icon Arcane Circle. This window's Communio Icon Communio is special, as it unlocks Reaper's capstone ability, Perfectio Icon Perfectio, which can be used either used for more potency under buffs or as an additional ranged tool.

Reaper Lore

"The Garleans' forebears were once humble farmers who made their home among the sun-drenched fields of southern Ilsabard. That was, until they were driven from this paradise by invaders wielding arcane magicks. Forced north into the frigid mountains, the survivors sought a means to tap into the reservoir of aether otherwise closed to them. A daring few found their answer within the void, binding themselves to its creatures to gain verboten power — power fed by the souls of the slain. Once more they took up their scythes, this time to reap a crimson harvest."
