Lightning Reaper King — Detailed Guide

The Lightning Reaper King is a Reaper King infused with lightning, one of the Lightning Creatures of Astraeos in ASA. It is stronger than a normal Reaper King and always aggressive.

Where to find it

It spawns only on Therokis, the fiery region of Astraeos.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. A tame Reaper King still has to come from the usual Reaper route on maps that have Reapers.

Uses

Kill it for Corrupted Nodules and a chance at a Corrupt Heart. Stronger Lightning Creatures drop hearts more often.

Tips

Treat it as one of the hardest fights on Therokis. Turrets do reduced damage to Lightning Creatures, so bring a strong team of tames rather than relying on base defenses.
