Summon Reaper is a minion spell that summons a Reaper minion that attacks with a variety of slashes and can apply bleeding. Your other minions are weaker while you have a Reaper summoned. The Reaper will consume your temporary minions to heal and empower itself occasionally.

Skill functions and interactions

The Reaper has 7 separate abilities it can use. At every idle frame the reaper will decide what to do next based on its own internal logic. The Reaper's abilities are as follows:

• Consume (Heal): The Reaper will use this ability if it has less than 75% life, there is an allied damageable minion nearby, and no combat action has higher weighting. See below for the effects of the Consume buff. This Spell has cast time of instant and a 6 second cooldown.
• Consume (Buff): The Reaper will use this ability if it does not currently have the Consume Buff, there is an allied damageable minion nearby with enemies also nearby, and no combat action has a higher weighting. See below for the effects of the Consume buff. This Spell has cast time of instant and a 25 second cooldown.
• Basic Attack: The Reaper slashes an enemy in front of it with one of its scythes, alternating being main and offhand. This Attack has an attack time of 1.5 seconds.
• Dash: The Reaper dashes towards nearby enemies. This Spell has cast time of 1.5 seconds and a 4 second cooldown.
• Ultimate: The Reaper will use this ability if it is targeting a unique or rare enemy. The Reaper swipes both scythes in front of them, dealing a substantial amount of damage with each slash. Enemies hit by both slashes take damage from each. This Attack has an attack time of 1.5 seconds.
• Comboslash (triggered): If the Reaper is surrounded by non-rare or unique enemies it will give itself a range buff and do a melee spinning attack. This attack cannot cause Stun or Knockback. This Triggered Spell has a cast time of instant and a 6 second cooldown.
• Dash/Ultimate (triggered): If the player casts Summon Reaper while the Reaper is already alive the Reaper will dash to the cursor, if the Reaper is not already nearby the cursor, and then use its Ultimate Ability. The stats of the triggered version of the ultimate and dash portions of this ability are the same as the non-triggered version. This Trigger has a cooldown equal to the cooldown of the skill gem (4 seconds).

The Consume skills kill one allied damageable minion, then recovers 50% of the Reaper's life and applies a buff to the Reaper for a base duration of 6 seconds. The Reaper has 2 versions of this skill. Each version has its own cooldown. The buff grants the following effects:

• 40% increased attack speed
• 40% increased movement speed
• 30% increased Area of Effect
• 10% increased character size

There are no variations in weighting based on minion type, etc, but the Reaper cannot eat "immortal" minions which can't be damaged, such as skitterbots, as they're invalid targets for the eating action, and cannot eat untargetable minions like Summon Raging Spirit because they can't be targeted.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.23.0	No longer has 20-39% increased Minion Maximum Life. Summoned Reapers now have 25% more Life inherently. Quality now causes Minion's Attacks to have 0-20% chance to inflict Bleeding, instead of providing 0-20% increased Minion Movement Speed.
3.19.0	The damage and life scaling values for minions have been adjusted. Generally speaking, minion life and damage is unchanged in the very early game, roughly 30% lower in mid acts, roughly 20% lower at level 20 of the minion skill, and roughly 10% lower at level 30 of the minion skill. Minions no longer have hidden penalties to Bleeding, Ignite, and Poison damage. Summon Reaper no longer has a hidden bonus to Bleeding damage that counteracted this penalty. As a result, minions now deal approximately twice as much Poison damage, three and a half times as much Ignite damage, and seven times as much Bleeding damage. The buff granted when consuming a Minion no longer grants 40% increased Damage. It now grants 40% increased Attack Speed (previously 20%), 40% increased Movement Speed (previously 20%) and also now grants 30% increased Area of Effect. The reaper's dash slash attack now has an Added Damage Effectiveness of 150% (previously 250%).
3.16.1	The Maximum Life of Non-Reaper Minions displayed in Skill tooltips is now affected by the less Maximum Life modifier from a Summoned Reaper. This is not a functional change.
3.16.0	Fixed a bug where summoned Reapers would teleport when the level of the Summon Reaper Skill Gem changes.
3.15.1	Fixed a bug where the Summoned Reaper could not destroy pots with some of their attacks. Fixed a bug where the Summoned Reaper’s two consume skills shared a cooldown.
3.15.0f	Fixed a bug with the Summon Reaper skill which allowed for a second separate Skill Gem with Supports to command the Reaper.
3.15.0d	The cast time for Summon Reaper is now 0.6 seconds (previously 1 second). Lowered the damage penalty on Bleeding for the Summoned Reaper, overall this means they have approximately 114% more Bleeding damage than before.
3.15.0	Summon Reaper has been added to the game. (Hotfix 2) The Reaper created by the new Summon Reaper skill gem now has better survivability at all levels.
