Soul Reaper

Soul Reaper is a unique melee weapon — a scythe with a shard of soul block for a blade that draws all souls toward you. Its effect is a direct engine for soul builds: it increases the souls you gain by 60%.

The underlying weapon is the same frame as the Scythe: 30 damage per hit, 78 full combo, 30 stagger, a 3-swing, 3-hit combo with 3.5-block reach and a 1.15s reset. Knockback is a lighter 600 here, and it carries the Mage archetype, fitting casters who fund their artifact spam with soul income.

It drops as the unique roll of the Scythe — any Scythe drop can roll into this one — in The Deep Dark, Humbler Huskland and Lullaby Hills. It is not tier-ranked yet and has no featured build, but if your build spends souls on powerful artifact effects, a 60% income boost is transformative: more souls per kill means more casts per fight.

Farm Scythes wherever they drop if your playstyle runs on soul-fueled artifacts.

The lighter 600 knockback keeps enemies close rather than scattering them, which suits a weapon whose job is farming souls from dense packs. For dedicated soul builds, that 60% income boost outweighs the lack of a tier ranking entirely.
