Best Archer combos with Spectral Reaper

Spectral Reaper appears in 17 ranked Archer combos.

1. 10 FMB Julian · Spectral Reaper · Oliver
   Julian (X25), Spectral Reaper (X03) and Oliver (X24) score 79.93 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Julian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 5% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Spectral Reaper brings a second damage line worth 13% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Tamashi-kusari puts 742% into one enemy squad on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 87% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 enemy squads every time it fires, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Spectral Reaper and Oliver both wait on; Spectral Reaper shuts off enemy recovery, so what Oliver deals stays dealt. What you give up: Spectral Reaper (X03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

   Defender is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 30% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Spectral Reaper brings a second damage line worth 25% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Tamashi-kusari puts 742% into one enemy squad on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Caesar is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 204% of damage amplification across its kit, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Defender’s Heavenly Smite produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Spectral Reaper and Caesar both wait on; Defender produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Caesar’s Coalition Strike waits on; Spectral Reaper shuts off enemy recovery, so what Caesar deals stays dealt. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 20% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Defender (X03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →
