| One-line role | Assassin who strikes with darkness itself |
Pick it if you like diving one target, bursting it down and getting out, and picking off players in PvP. That's all the Korean guide gives per class: one weapon and three keywords, no skill list and no numbers. The actual skill text is on the skill screen in-game.

Grim Reaper is VAMPIR's shadow-scythe assassin. Netmarble's keywords are scythe, melee and assassination: it's built to dive one target and finish it, not to tank. Who it suits, the official lore and class video, and how a class change works.
Who should play Grim Reaper?
| You want | What Grim Reaper offers |
|---|---|
| Dive one target, burst it, get out | Built for it: its third keyword is assassination |
| Pick off players in PvP | Assassin role; the lore says no one escapes them |
| Melee with a big weapon | Scythe, melee |
| Tank the front line | Not this class: no defense keyword. Bloodstained is the one with it |
How does Netmarble describe Grim Reaper?
Netmarble's global class page sums it up as "a vampire warrior who cleaves enemies with a scythe made of shadows." The lore: Grim Reapers are born from the power of darkness and have turned their inner darkness into scythes. Anyone who stands against them is cut down again and again until nothing is left, and because that darkness lives in every shadow, no one escapes them. Great flavour, but no skill values.

What to watch in your first hour
Grim Reaper lives on burst. Before you pull a pack, check which skill opens the fight and how long its cooldown is, and save it for the target you actually want dead. Then watch the bloodsucking icon and the adrenaline gauge: every class has them, and they change how long you can stay in a fight.
Is Grim Reaper weak at farming? The November update
On November 6, Netmarble's lead designer agreed that Grim Reaper has few AoE and damage-over-time (DoT) skills, so it can fall behind at farming despite being strong in PvP. Hunting efficiency will be improved in the November class balance update; numbers aren't out yet. Details: Grim Reaper buff and dev answers.
Can you change class later?
Yes, in town only. Netmarble's Korean class-change guide lets you convert one form, up to three weapons and every skill you own, and extra costs can apply depending on what you pick. The fewer forms and weapons you've built up, the cheaper the switch, so decide early.
