Grimmer Reaper

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Grimmer Reaper is a recurring scythe skill in the Dragon Quest series. When it first appeared, it was an enhanced version of the Grim Reaper skill that has a chance to instantly kill a group of enemies and deals enhanced damage to Undead monsters. In X, it infuses the wielder's scythe in darkness and attempts to knock down a group of enemies with a sweep.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

Grimmer Reaper can be learned by Yangus by investing 90 points into the Scythes skill, automatically replacing Grim Reaper and continuing to cost 3 MP to use. It has the same chance to instantly kill one group of enemies as Grim Reaper and now deals 100% of his normal attack damage that decreases after the second enemy to the group, as well as dealing 125% damage to monsters of the Undead family.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Grimmer Reaper can be learned by Death Masters, Luminaries, and Demon Swordsmen by allocating 13 points into the Scythe skill. It costs 2 MP to use and inflicts dark-elemental damage dependent on the user's Attack and Magical Might to all enemies in a fan-shaped area of effect in front of them, as well as having a chance to make them stumble and fall.
