There is so many things they would need to add to this Killer in order to make her even viable to play as. Right now playing her seems like you just want to play a Killer with basically No Power except what Perks can basically already offer you.
But as we know, they are gonna buff her in a Way that she gets super annoying to play against just like they did with every Killer who had an underwhelming Power at the Start.
(Trickster, Sadako, Knight etc.)
For those looking for some tips, I’ve had the most success with hex and gen kick builds simply because of how strong she is at map control and area denial. Some chase perks wouldn’t be bad either considering she sucks at it.
She looks like the girl from Megamind
This whole update is just a super survivor biased update, they giga buffed any means necessary, removed eruption, didn't balance red forest, and gave shelter woods very powerful main building and some of the new survivor perks are gonna be stupid like the double exhaustion
I hate the perks mainly cuz they add unnecessary conditions that can just make them better
Thwack! (Great name btw cant wait for bonk) would be better if it activated after getting stunned, as it then becomes an anti looping tool and helps out killers when the survivors go out of sight
Leverage just needs to be active all game, have it increased it 5/6/7% and then it’s better than clourophobia and Sloppy
The other one is fine, don’t care about it enough to look up the name
(The survivor perks are fine so I didn’t talk about em)
Its not flushed out, but I feel an adequate way to buff her is to enable her drones to block a gen or even recharge at generators with some progress.
Alternatively, have the drones chase survivors like zombies do.
imo while drones are in that scanning mode, triggering it into activation mode should make it shoot an arm tracker onto them just to make it risk/reward
as for chase, idk the range could be slightly bigger or the range of it could be hidden for survivors without a tracker already
I feel like Skull Merchant in terms of ability and aesthetic feels extremely early dbd. Like, 2016-2017 era. I think she's bad, but strangely enough I enjoy playing as her on ptb, but that might just be because I don't really care about winning. Just doing dumb stuff.
we love it when dbd youtubers say it how it is
I don’t care if I look like a jackass but I think she is under rated it depends on how you play, she’s also addon dependent
Also you wrong about the hook scream, the survivors scream the moment the hook goes in their shoulder.
Jeez Victor is a better surveillance camera then a surveillance camera
The killers chase music is literally a 1 second loop that just sounds like a distorted mess. Almost all the perks from this chapter are bad or niche/mid. Visually not scary or intimidating at all with a goofy what seems to be diamond studded mask. Power very similar to the previous killer we had being knight which is mid at best, but is also worse than the Knight – extremely boring. Another M1 killer. Weird runway walk animation. Can't use ability during chases like Knight can (breaking pallets instantly or being anti loop etc). Drone being out too long makes it switch to a scan that can be avoided by using los to disable. Mori is terribly boring, (imo trapper, wraith and billy have better mori's…. at least those feel aggressive like the killers are really aggressive or show emotion). Idk all this combined I can see why most people seem really frustrated or disappointed. The new maps are incredible though
I love this new killer
As someone who mains survivor I usually but the whole chapter because you get a bonus cosmetic for the survivor (if there is one), but this is genuinely one of the first chapters I would rather spend ten bucks on auric cells to only get the survivors.
I think the killer perks could have some good synergy with things like PWYF, or an End-Fury build so that could be fun to see! And as for the Leverage perk; It only lasts thirty seconds after you hook somebody, just wait until it's over and then the killer is down one perk, I can see it's potential in end-game but again… 30 seconds… If they were to make it so that it's something that activates solely during the end-game then maybe it has potential.
I don't even want to start about her Mori because I'll never shut up… it is so… frustratingly bad lol. They could have done so much. She could have kicked them to the ground, called a drone that shot claw traps at their hands and feet to pin them and then dommy mommy stomped their throat. She could have called in a drone that shot a claw trap at the survivors face and in their panic to claw it off, she sneaks up from behind and guts them… these are just two of the ideas that I had. Again just… frustrating.
Wow
The exposed statues effect should be instant when triggering or entering the area that the drones monitor, make the survivors reconsider even stepping foot near a camera. Also increase the area that the camera covers or put a secondary statues effect on the survivors when they enter. They need to make the power worth the time and effort to use it.
I’m about to main the skull merchant. She is pretty asf
Lol they even repeatedly stress the word "predator" in the BTS video! It's so painfully obvious that this was supposed to be a chapter for The Predator.
The ball was in their court and they dropped it.
Survivors scream when they get hooked immediately vs before they just screamed half a second after they got hooked.
I thought that she was interesting when play her I think she it pretty good for surveillance, of gens but I think she could be better, increasing some of the time things last or just let the drone stay were I left it instead of fly off to a preset location. I plan on playing her alot but would like to see some quality of life stuff for her.
6/10 is generous. This is the most dissapointing chapter I've seen in years. Nobody wanted a killer that is literally just ghost face and knight but half as good as both. I know there's more than just the killer but the killer is more important than anything because it's what dictates both sides fun and neither side will like this killer.
That What I'm saying the killer got weak perks
She is not bad
w ai t the screams are intentional?
Yhhhh.tbh…time to quit dbd…I'm done whit this game for good….
