When timed properly, Reaper can avoid potentially deadly attacks with this ability, such as Roadhog's Chain Hook, Reinhardt's Charge, or McCree's Flashbang.Offensively, it can also be used to chase down enemies due to the speed increase. If you suddenly find yourself surrounded by enemies, activate Wraith Form and make a break for the safest location you can find. This is Reaper's main method of escape.However, he cannot attack or use any abilities during this time. While in this form, he is invincible and untargetable by any enemy weapons or abilities and ignores enemy collision. Wraith Form: When activated, Reaper assumes a gaseous purple form for a short period of time.As the shotguns have high damage falloff and a wide spread, aim to get up close to your enemies so that you can deal the most damage possible.Hellfire Shotguns deal extremely high damage at short range, allowing Reaper to quickly kill targets that he gets the jump on, especially Tanks with large hitboxes which allows most of the pellets to connect.These shotguns have a wide spread and deal high damage at short range, but have high damage falloff past that range. The primary fire will cause Reaper to alternate shooting his two shotguns, with no secondary fire mode. Hellfire Shotguns: Reaper's primary weapon.If up against multiple opponents, aim to damage the targets with the highest Health to maintain your own Health. This can provide Reaper with valuable in-combat healing.This can help him to survive for long periods of time in areas without many Health Packs. This provides Reaper with a steady stream of healing, so long as he's in combat.As Reaper damages his foes, he receives a portion of the damage he deals back as Health. The Reaping (Passive): Reaper's sustain ability.Reaper is most effective in a team composition or a map that keeps the fight in close-quarters. Death Blossom is easy to shut down by stunning Reaper or blocking it with a friendly barrier. Reaper works best in close-combat and is nearly useless in fighting at mid- to- long range due to quick damage falloff and the large spread of his weapon. Reaper lacks in-combat mobility, as his Wraith Form is mainly used to save his life and escape from near-death situations, and Shadow Step is very loud and makes Reaper unable to move for a while, so he becomes easy prey if spotted. Reaper's relative simplicity makes him a good hero for new players, while still remaining deadly in experienced hands. Its high constant damage can tear most heroes to shreds if they are not prepared. When the main fight begins, Death Blossom can turn the tide of battle when using it in the middle of the fight.

Shadow Step is another flanking ability provided enough time to set it up, he can use it to move to any location within his line-of-sight.

Wraith Form is one of the greatest invulnerability tools in the game Reaper can use it to escape or chase his enemies thanks to his increased speed and immediate reload. Reaper is a short-ranged flanker and one of the deadliest heroes in the game up close, with even Tanks like Reinhardt and Roadhog melting under the power of his Hellfire Shotguns.
