# Reaper — Anime Apocalypse Trait

**Tier:** S · **Rarity:** mythic
**Credibility:** tier_1_discord · **As of:** 2026-05-13

## Effect

+35% DMG · +10% ATK SPD · +20% CDR · +5% Lifesteal — the meta-best Raid trait.

## Notes

**Reaper** is the consensus best trait for **Raids**. It concentrates almost all of its budget into raw damage — +35% DMG is the highest flat damage bonus of any trait — at the cost of mobility and economy stats.

## Stats (Foong _Meta Build_ thread, 2026-05-10)

| DMG | ATK SPD | CDR | Lifesteal |
|---|---|---|---|
| **35%** | 10% | 20% | 5% |

Reaper trades Flash's breadth for depth: where Flash spreads +20% across 8 columns, Reaper concentrates +35% DMG into the single column that matters most against raid bosses with millions of HP.

## Which abilities pair best with Reaper

Per Rolasyum _Best Traits on Abilities_ thread (2026-05-10), Reaper is the recommended trait for **Raids** on these abilities:

- **Destructive Fists** (Akaza) — 78-tick `g` skill multiplies +35% DMG into ~+2700 damage
- **Head of Hei** (Naoya) — +35% on top of 1600-damage `g` = ~+560 extra per cast
- **Coyote** (Coyote Starrk) — 13-tick `x` and 55-tick `g` both compound trait DMG
- **Atomic** (Cid Kagenou) — raid-exclusive ability + raid-exclusive trait pairing
- **Spin** (Gyro Zeppeli) — 99-tick `g` skill posts the highest raw DPS multiplier in the game

## Reaper vs Flash

| Stat | Reaper | Flash | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG | **35%** | 20% | Reaper (+15) |
| ATK SPD | 10% | **25%** | Flash (+15) |

| Walkspeed | — | +7 | Flash |
| Coins | — | 7% | Flash |

**Pick Reaper for raids** (raw damage matters most in short, high-HP encounters). **Pick Flash for Survival/Infinite** (sustain matters in long fights).
