    I've been trying out the Reaper and have noticed that it's very difficult to use and almost requires "extra skill" than the other ships for the following reasons.
    1. It doesn't have enough healing power to stay behind and heal as a Fixer.
    2. Therefore, it needs to deal damage and heal which requires a lot of moving around the map.
    3. Attempting a selfish Reaper is unsuccessful against Speeders and Enforcers. They can easily stun you and destroy you with their "unbreakable" tesla shields.
    Whilst I have had some successful battles with the Reaper, it definitely feels like it isn't worth leveling up for use in the future because of these reasons. Thoughts?

    You need to use speeder skill for reaper.
    Move in to attack then retreat to heal.

    Good luck

    Haha
    Yeah but the problem is not having the yellow slots like a speeder. Healing is useless against a stun...

    Find red circle to break it then heal n run.
    Green slot point reduce to 2 unit instead of 3.
    Why? I want more fire power than healing power.
    It's a medic battle ship not a mobile hospital ship.
    U wanna play heal use fixer. Lol.

    Ever use a mk4 speeder?
    I use this strategy and win all the time. Remember, as a reaper, your contribution to the battle is going to be qualitative and not quantitative.

    But there can only be 6 items in use, that would make 7.

    Hmm but I think it's different to compare it to an mk4 speeder as you were with other ships that were mk4 as well. The game is a lot more powerful than that. And the reaper (even with its self heal) is not fast enough to get away from incoming yellow ships (equally as fast) so that idea often doesn't work.

    Depends on how you play it, really. But I'd say combat medic is a niché role for the reaper and, if you can practice ranging with it, you can go far with the ship. Getting chased by a speeder is potentially what you WANT, you can lead the speeder to your team while debuffing them from a safe distance.

    P.s. I don't really disagree with the reaper buff but am unsure on what it could be:)

    Yeah that's true. I guess the only real concern are those tesla bolts. I'm having difficulty trying to overcome them with reaper. Other ships (maybe not a fixer that is generally not alone anyways) can kind of combat them.
    I think it needs to be faster (to not really need a turbo) and then have one blue slot and three reds...or three yellows?

    Imho the reaper should be called something else.
    Reaper does not suite its role as combat medic.

    Three reds will suit most, but I'd love three yellows to become more pesky;)

    I agree with @Sewah. Right now the reaper is less effective than the fixer at fixing and the damage output isn't realistically much different.

    For it to live up to it's name, it should have 3 red slots and 1 green slot. Otherwise just play an aggressive fixer.

    Why it's named Reaper??
    It does not really suit the name and it's the genre of a Reaper.

    Some one did called a Selfish Fixer as a Paladin and I believe it's the most suitable name with the current load out.

    if rovio ever gifted me a LVL 50 reaper then I will use double EC +double tape + double nitro + double standard shield ,

    or replace 1 standard shield with a turbo and replace 1 nitro with a bolt
