How does Reaper minion decide which of your other minions it will eat when it decides that it's hungry? Is it random or is there a priority of some kind?

The Reaper does not separately decide that it's hungry and then chose a minion. Each time it picks an action, it evaluates all possible actions and picks one. For each of your other minions it can see, there are two possible actions involving eating that minion which will be weighed against other possible actions (similarly for each enemy, there are actions that could attack that enemy, and there are several more possible actions for attacking which are limited only to its current aggro target if it has one).
Eating a minion to heal has a high weighting, but is ignored if the reaper has higher than 75% life or already has the buff from eating a minion.
Eating a minion just for the buff has a lower weighting, but is ignored if the reaper already has the buff or there are no enemies around that minion (so it won't move away from the enemies to eat a far-away minion).
There are no variations in weighting based on minion type, etc, but the Reaper cannot eat "immortal" minions which can't be damaged, such as skitterbots, as they're invalid targets for the eating action, and cannot.eat untargetable minions like raging spirits because they can't be targeted.

Can it eat phantasm minions?

Yes.

Also, are phantasm from summon phantasm support affected by other support gems?

Yes.

Summon Reaper Sound Design

Composer: Patricia

It's interesting to juxtapose my thought process behind the sound design of Summon Reaper and Eye of Winter. I had to focus more on its gorey dual scythe skills rather than what it should sound like as just a regular minion. We wanted to give players a strong sense of satisfaction when directing the reaper towards attacking an area you select. I used layers of frequency filtered metallic swings for when it hits monsters in the targeted area. Then I blended the reverb tail of that dual swing with another reverb tail from a combination of distorted roaring sounds. The latter acted as a unique tonal layer for the reaper’s scythe. I also have numerous variations, with different lengths and layers of splattering blood sounds, to make its blood thirsty aesthetic.

PoE Summon Reaper Skill Build 3.15

Summon Reaper creates a single powerful minion that uses fast melee physical attacks which cause bleeding. While the Reaper is active, you can use the skill again to direct the Reaper to a specific location, dealing a powerful attack along its path.

The Reaper wants to be your only minion. It reduces the life and damage of your other minions, and will consume them to heal itself and gain damage and speed buffs.

When designing this new skill for the Necromancer, we wanted to explore the idea of having a single ultimate minion. While there were ways to somewhat achieve this before, the Reaper is quite different in its abilities and interactions with other minions. It also feels much more active and directly under your command.

One quick note though… the Reaper will absolutely eat your Animated Guardian if you’re not careful.

How often it consumes minions and what the gem means when it says that the reaper "empowers" itself upon consuming your minions.

The Consume skill kills one of your minions and applies a buff to the Reaper for a base duration of 6 seconds. The buff grants 40% increased damage, 20% increased attack speed, 20% increased movement speed and 10% increased character size. It also recovers 50% of the Reaper's life.

The Reaper has muliple instances of the skill which its AI uses in different circumstances:

The version it frequently uses because it's hurt has a 6-second cooldown.
The version it infrequently uses because it just felt like it (and didn't already have the buff) has a 25 second cooldown.

Skill functions and interactions

The Consume skill kills one minion, recovers 50% of the Reaper's life and applies a buff to the Reaper for a base duration of 6 seconds.The buff grants multiple effects:

40% increased attack speed
40% increased movement speed
30% increased Area of Effect
10% increased character size

The Reaper has multiple instances of the skill which its AI uses in different circumstances:

The version it frequently uses because it's hurt has a 6-second cooldown.
The version it infrequently uses because it just felt like it (and didn't already have the buff) has a 25 second cooldown.

The Reaper does not separately decide that it's hungry and then chose a minion. Each time it picks an action, it evaluates all possible actions and picks one. For each of your other minions it can see, there are two possible actions involving eating that minion which will be weighed against other possible actions (similarly for each enemy, there are actions that could attack that enemy, and there are several more possible actions for attacking which are limited only to its current aggro target if it has one).

Eating a minion to heal has a high weighting, but is ignored if the reaper has higher than 75% life or already has the buff from eating a minion.
Eating a minion just for the buff has a lower weighting, but is ignored if the reaper already has the buff or there are no enemies around that minion (so it won't move away from the enemies to eat a far-away minion).

There are no variations in weighting based on minion type, etc, but the Reaper cannot eat "immortal" minions which can't be damaged, such as skitterbots, as they're invalid targets for the eating action, and cannot eat untargetable minions like Summon Raging Spirit because they can't be targeted.
