The Void Reaver is a Vaulted, reaper-style scythe in Pixel Blade, the action RPG developed by Frost Blade Games on Roblox. Introduced during the limited Wishes takeover event alongside the Void Suit set, it ranks among the premier S-tier weapons in the game due to its devastating burst damage, soul-stacking mechanics, and room-clearing area-of-effect (AoE) abilities.

Because the weapon is currently vaulted, players cannot obtain it through standard dungeon drops or regular shop rotations. For players who unlocked it or are preparing for potential vault reruns, understanding its upgrade tiers, ability interactions, and armor synergies is essential to maximizing its damage potential.

Void Reaver Base Stats and Upgrade Tiers

The Void Reaver scales across six distinct tiers. Unlike standard swords, upgrading the Void Reaver requires duplicate copies obtained through event wishes, with odd-numbered and even-numbered rankups alternating copy requirements.

The weapon features a baseline knockback rating of 4 and transitions from moderate base output at Tier 1 to over 2,000 base damage and nearly 75% critical strike chance when fully maxed out at Tier 6.

Signature Abilities: Death's Grasp and Oblivion

The Void Reaver relies on a two-step ability loop where its primary attack feeds charges into its ultimate attack.

Death's Grasp (Tier 2 Unlock)

  • Cooldown: 20 seconds
  • Energy Cost: 25
  • Duration: Approximately 2 seconds
  • Element Type: Void

When activated, Death's Grasp unleashes the Reaver's hunger onto nearby targets within a circular area. The strike deals half weapon damage (scaling up to 0.7x at Tier 3) and applies a stun effect. Every enemy struck grants the wielder 1 Soul and 1 Spirit. In community combat tests, this ability also provides inherent life recovery upon ripping souls from targets, functioning as a vital defensive sustain tool during dungeon mob pulls.

Oblivion (Tier 4 Unlock)

  • Cooldown: 13 seconds
  • Energy Cost: 30
  • Duration: Approximately 5 seconds

Oblivion serves as the Void Reaver's main damage dealer. Activating this skill consumes all accumulated souls and spirits to generate a frenzy of spinning scythes around the player. These scythes deal rapid damage to surrounding enemies for 1 second before launching outwards, tracking and chaining through remaining targets.

The skill scales dynamically with your soul count: every 2 souls consumed adds +1 additional spinning scythe to the frenzy. When unleashed into a boss or mob pack with maximum souls (typically capped between 7 and 8 spirits), Oblivion obliterates health pools almost instantaneously via auto-targeting projectiles.

Best Set Synergy: Void Reaper Armor

To maximize the Void Reaver, pair it with its corresponding armor piece, the Void Reaper Armor. Together, they activate a dedicated set bonus:

  • Set Bonus: +1 Spirit Capacity
  • Energy and Stamina Sustain: Collecting spirits restores 5% energy/stamina, virtually eliminating stamina downtime during continuous combat.
  • Durability: The Void Reaper Armor provides top-tier base health and high energy regeneration, offsetting the weapon's lack of built-in defensive shields.

While the weapon can function alongside other high-tier gear like Crystal Armor (which provides defensive thorn knockback), the resource recovery granted by the Void Reaper Armor allows players to cast Death's Grasp and Oblivion on cooldown without running out of stamina.

Optimizing the Void Reaver requires enchants that complement its melee reach, mobility, and critical strike profiles. Verified build setups from community databases highlight the following options:

  • Aerodynamic: Enhances attack speed and airborne mobility, letting you navigate large packs safely.
  • Overhead: Highly effective if your playstyle incorporates frequent jump-attacks into weapon swings.
  • Smite: Provides bonus direct burst to capitalize on the weapon's massive 74.2% critical strike rate at Tier 6.
  • Wind Gust: An optional utility pick to increase spacing and crowd management.
  • Stamina Spirits II: Recommended primarily if you do not own the Tier 4 Void Reaper Armor; if you already have the armor's resource passive unlocked, this enchant becomes redundant.

Meta Ranking and Weapon Comparisons

Tier list databases and endgame players rank the Void Reaver in S-Tier (and S+ when paired with the full armor set).

  • Compared to Black Star: Black Star features a black hole pull and cosmic beam with lower setup requirements, making it faster for mindless room-clearing. In contrast, the Void Reaver boasts higher raw M1 swing damage and superior single-target boss burst once Oblivion is fully charged, though it requires landing Death's Grasp to generate soul stacks.
  • Compared to Divinity: Divinity offers longer reach and spear stuns, but Void Reaver outperforms in multi-target projectile tracking through Oblivion's scythe spread.
  • Compared to Titan: While Titan provides superior shielding and charged shockwaves, the Void Reaver delivers significantly faster attack speed and higher critical chance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Void Reaver a scythe or a spear?

Visually and functionally, the Void Reaver is a reaper-style scythe with shadowy purple visual effects and curved blades. While certain early database index tags categorized it broadly under polearms, its animations, models, and community descriptions define it as a scythe.
