Grim Reaper is VAMPIR's shadow-scythe assassination class: Netmarble's Korean guide gives its keywords as "scythe, melee, assassination" and the official global site calls it "a vampire warrior who cleaves enemies with a scythe made of shadows" that no one can escape. Pick it for fast in-and-out play on one target and for picking a target in PvP; holding the front for long is not its role.
How Netmarble introduces Grim Reaper
The official global class page sums it up in one line: "A vampire warrior who cleaves enemies with a scythe made of shadows." The longer description reads: "The Grim Reapers, born from the power of darkness, have manifested their inner darkness into scythes. Those who oppose them have their flesh and souls repeatedly cut by the dark scythes until no traces remain, sinking into the shadows. As the Grim Reapers' darkness dwells in every shadow of the world, no one can escape them." It is lore, not numbers: nothing in it is a skill value.

Grim Reaper weapon and keywords (Korean guide)
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Weapon | Shadow scythe |
| Keywords | Scythe, melee, assassination |
| One-line role | Assassin who strikes with darkness itself |
The Korean guide gives each of the five classes one weapon and three keywords, and no skill list or numbers. For Grim Reaper those three words are enough to place the class; read the actual skill text on the skill screen in your own client.

What to watch in your first 30 minutes with Grim Reaper
- Finish the tutorial and open the skill screen: check whether the skills that come with the shadow scythe match the keywords "scythe, melee, assassination".
- At the same farm spot play five minutes on auto and five minutes manually; note which mode loses less HP.
- Play until you die once and write down why: something that closed the distance, or damage from range? The answer tells you whether this class fits you.
- Watch the bloodsucking icon and the adrenaline gauge; those two mechanics change every fight regardless of class.
Picked wrong? Class change
According to the Korean class change guide the change is done in town only; one form, up to three weapons and every skill you own can be converted, and extra cost can apply depending on what you select. Deciding before forms and weapons pile up keeps that bill small.
