Independent analysis
Editorial analysis based on the current guides: Reaper gains permanent stage bonuses from encountering different enemy types and can accelerate attacks through repeated critical hits. Current UPD 0.5 tier snapshots still treat it as useful but not top-five, so this pilot keeps the unit in A while highlighting tournament, raid, and challenge maps where enemy variety can feed the scaling loop.
This site analysis interprets the cited snapshot; it is separate from official game information and may change as stronger evidence becomes available.
