I still don't understand Reaper

[Tiber]

Okay, Reaper hits everyone if the same character has the topmost card while the debuff on them. I get that.

If there are no cards in hand, he targets whoever had the topmost card last. Really not communicated anywhere, but I get that.

But I end my turn with my characters above Death's Door, they don't have bleeding. His 9+ countdown attack doesn't put anyone on Death's Door. But his big AoE attack hits everyone, and they immediately die. No Death's Door protection. What am I missing here? Where is this explained?

I do the math, then the game throws something at me that I don't understand and don't even see what deals the final blow. This is frustrating.

Reaper ended my 2 very successful run. I guess the translation is not well enough.
My observation and advise from other players :
- 1 of the card in your hand will have a special icon with "Dead" (in chinese)
- Reaper will do an attack that mark the owner of this card (in your hand) and create "Dead" status. If this marking attack hit a hero already with this "Dead" status effect, then it will deal heavy wide party damage
- This means, you should evenly let each party member take this special marking attack from reaper every turn. If the card owner of "Dead" status is currently clean, then keep this card in the hand.
- If the owner of the card is marked, then you use the card to let the "Dead" status on card jump to another card in hand

As I said above, I understand all that. I'm saying that when I can't avoid the big AoE, I set myself up to survive it. After taking his attacks my units are at Death's Door, then they immediately die at the start of the turn. I'm trying to understand what effect kills them at the start of turn.

Seems like it's a dot that finished your guys. I recall Reaper having such an effect that deals pain damage at start of turn (not very specific, I've been fighting the Leader these days) which is enough to kill characters at death's door.

Reapers mark itself has a Dot effect, anyone who gets marked by him is not safe to hit deaths door at the end of the turn.

Im going to guess what happened was that all 4 party members had the mark, the boss procced his aoe on using reapers mark twice on one charecter, and then your party members got sent to deaths door from the aoe. Since the mark carries a Dot, on the next turn all deaths door members died immediately.

I'm not sure of this, but I think reaper will target random target if you don't have any card.

And yeah you killed by the mark's dot damage.

P.S. If you got Lian in your team she may block the mark attack for others, this will trigger the AOE if you're not careful, But can use it to save your team if she don't have the mark debuff.

Yeah, I probably didn't notice that the Mark itself does DoT. I thought it was just to show what characters you don't want to topmost card. He isn't necessarily killing my team simultaneously. I just don't see what debuff is killing them, and they lose their debuffs when they die, so to me to looks like they just suddenly die at start of turn. Thanks guys.
