The Grim Reaper is a normal unique
War Scythe found in Diablo 2 Resurrected. The Grim Reaper has a Light Purple tint.
The Grim Reaper is the only item in the game with 100% Deadly Strike, so every hit doubles its physical damage. That takes 33 to 43 up to an effective 66 to 86 on a War Scythe, a base already in the fast polearm class.
Deadly Strike does not stack with
Critical Strike. The game rolls Critical Strike first and Deadly Strike only if that fails, and both apply the same doubling, so points spent in Critical Strike return nothing while this is equipped and the multiplier never goes past two. Prevent Monster Heal is applied only by a player, never by a mercenary.
Season 16 Changes
Patch 3.4 changes The Grim Reaper on Reign of the Warlock Online Ladder and Offline when Ladder Season 16 starts on 13 November 2026. Online Non-Ladder and Diablo II: Resurrected without the expansion keep the current stats.
