KEY MECHANICS & CLASS IDENTITY
The Reaper’s class identity is built around three modes: Normal Mode, Persona Mode, and Mayhem Mode.
- NORMAL MODE: In Normal mode, the Persona gauge fills up over time and each time a skill hits the target. When the Persona gauge is full, you can enter Persona mode by pressing “Z”. The chaos gauge increases with each successful hit of the dagger and shadow skill when the persona gauge is full. When the Persona gauge is full, enter Chaos mode by filling up the Chaos gauge by constantly using the Dagger and Shadow skills without pressing “Z”.
- PERSONA MODE: Summon a shadow illusion, become stealthy and the meter will start to increase. The shadow illusion lasts until you attack. You continue to sneak even if you use move or stand up skills while doing so. In Persona mode, your movement speed increases by 30% and you begin to sneak, but are vulnerable to enemy adventurers within 4m. In Persona Mode, Dive skill damage is increased by 25% and the effect stacks up to 5x depending on the duration of Persona Mode. If you attack or the gauge is depleted, you will return to normal mode.
- CHAOS MODE: Crit Chance +15%. Movement speed +10%. attack Speed +10%. Chaos mode initially lasts 9 seconds. Continuously hitting an enemy with your dagger skills, or when using the Shadow skill, will reset Mayhem mode’s duration to 9 seconds. At the end of Mayhem Mode, the Mayhem Gauge resets and returns to showing a full Persona Gauge.
