Functionality

Take 30% less Fall damage.

Base ability (from Grim): Players who attack you are marked for a duration.

This variant is currently unreleased and will become available in a future update.

Grim is a Mythic with an elimination-focused ability that rewards high-kill games. Its rarity means most players will never find one naturally — summoning with Sprite Dust (7,500) is the realistic path. Worth the investment if you consistently get 5+ kill games. Gem's 30% fall damage reduction is niche but powerful in Build mode — take risky height plays without worrying about fall punishes.

GRIM GUIDE

This guide covers the base Grim sprite's abilities and strategy. The Gem Grim variant shares the same core mechanics with an additional theme bonus.

Squad Wallhacks on Demand

Grim's ability is unique among all sprites: when an enemy attacks you, they get marked and become visible through walls for your entire squad. This isn't a minor ping — it's full wallhack-style tracking that lets your teammates see the aggressor's exact position, movement direction, and even their current action. In Duos and Squads, this is devastatingly effective.

How the Marking Works

The mark triggers when you take damage from an enemy player. The duration of the mark increases with levels — at max level, the aggressor is tracked for several seconds after hitting you. Crucially, the mark applies to YOUR ATTACKER specifically, making it a defensive counter-tool: the person who shoots you first gets punished with full visibility to your team.

Grim in Competitive Squads

In organized squad play, Grim enables a specific strategy: one player acts as bait or aggro-sponge, deliberately drawing fire to mark enemies for the team. While you take a shot of damage, your trio now has full wallhack intel on the shooter's position. Combined with voice comms, this turns every fight into a coordinated push with information advantage.

Grim's Weakness: Solo Play

In Solos, Grim's value drops significantly. You already know where your attacker is (they're shooting at you), so marking them provides minimal additional information. The sprite is designed for team modes where spatial awareness across multiple players matters. If you exclusively play Solos, Ghost or Demon offer far more value.

Grim as a Mythic Investment

Grim holds Mythic rarity, meaning 7,500 Sprite Dust to summon. Whether that investment is worthwhile depends entirely on your primary game mode. Squad mains should prioritize it highly — the intel advantage is unmatched. Solo players should spend their Dust on Burnt Peanut or Zero Point instead.
