Reaper

Reaper is the embodiment of death, a force of nature maintaining the balance between life and death. Ever since Clairen traveled back in time, rumors of a "Soul Collector" have been circulating, but anyone unlucky enough to meet them rarely lives to tell the tale. It seems someone is punishing those who seek to alter history, ensuring that no soul cheats its destiny.

Reaper is a floaty swordfighter (scythefighter?) who uses their outrageous reach and Death Field to control the space around them, compensating for their slow attacks. They thrive on patience and careful positioning to overwhelm opponents, utilizing their lifesteal mechanic from the Death Field to outlast and outmaneuver their foes. However, taking full advantage of the Death Field requires Reaper to defend its source from their enemies.

Every hit Reaper lands fuels the Death Field, a dark aura that emanates from the grave they summon. The field expands with every 3 hits, growing larger and more dangerous. It drains the opponent's health and returns it to Reaper, while also enhancing their special attacks.

After 9 hits, the grave explodes, covering the entire area of the field. When the grave’s outline flashes after 8 hits, it signals that the next hit will trigger an explosion, though Reaper can also manually detonate it by using Dspecial.

The grave has 20 health and can be destroyed by the opponent, so Reaper must protect it.

Reaper plants a grave on the ground to summon the Death Field. If performed in mid-air, they will quickly drop down and crush any opponents below. The longer the fall, the more devastating the impact.

Reaper removes their mask and attacks at a short distance. If the attack lands, it marks the opponent, placing them on a timer and dooming them to be knocked back after a delay, similar to Sephiroth's Fspecial in SSBU. If a marked opponent is in the Death Field when the knockback triggers, the grave will automatically explode.

Reaper lunges forward to grab the opponent, with slight control over their trajectory during the lunge. If they are within the Death Field, they gain a significant momentum boost and avoid pratfall.

If Reaper successfully grabs the opponent, they will strike them four times before releasing them. This move is crucial for holding down opponents and ensuring they are caught in the grave’s explosion.

Reaper teleports to a new location. Normally, this leaves them vulnerable to pratfall, but if they are within the Death Field, there is no pratfall, allowing them to recover or attack without penalty.
