🌟Phantom Reaper Build

Information in this build is based off the video from @DrTopazz



This Reaper build for Overwatch 2’s Stadium mode focuses on turning Reaper into a hyper-aggressive, self-sustaining shotgun assassin. It centers around:

  • Wraith Form healing and mobility (via Wraith Renewal and Dauntless Draught),
  • Cooldown resets on eliminations (from Spirited to Slay),
  • Massive shotgun damage (buffed by Eye of the Spider, Shrouded Trapnel, and stacked perks),
  • Constant repositioning and escape tools (especially with Wretched Wings letting you fly).

In short: You heal, reload, and reset abilities with every kill, letting you stay in fights longer and eliminate enemies nonstop.


🕶️ Round 1 – First Power: Wraith Renewal


  • Pick: Wraith Renewal
  • Why: Every time you pop Wraith Form, you heal yourself and reload your shotguns.
  • Perks: Grab some green perks.

💸 Round 2 – Cashing In and Powering Up

  • Buy: Dauntless Draught (Purple, Survival tab).
  • Strategy:

🌸 Death Blossom Build

Information in this build is based off the video from @ClazzicOW



This Reaper death blossom build for Overwatch 2’s Stadium mode transforms Reaper into a high-damage, self-healing ult carry. It focuses on:

Massive AoE burst damage (boosted by Death Step, Sharded Sharpen, and Ability Power stacking),

Sustaining through fights with lifesteal (via Spirited to Slay, Nano Cola, and Energized Bracers),

Armor stacking for survival (using Vital and Fusion Drive to tank enemy focus),

Extended ult range and mobility (with Strangle Step and Wreath of Ruin perks).

In short: You dive in, unleash a supercharged death blossom, heal through enemy damage, and wipe squads before they can counter.

  • Shrouded Shrapnel

Buy:

  • Compensator
  • Ability Power

🛡️ Round 4 – Tank up, don’t drop

Combo tip:
Wraith Form into death blossom = full wipe.


🧱 Round 6 & 7 – Final perk: Vital – Final Power: Strangle Step


Buy:

  • Vital

Why:
Converts 100% of health into armor. This makes you unkillable during ult even if a Cassidy or Soldier tries to burst you.

Strangle Step boosts Death Step’s value by giving more movement during your ult. The extra range lets you wipe far-away enemies easily.

Massive synergy with Death Step for extra ult range and survivability.
