Trying out the new killer’s ultra rare addons, starting with Garden of Rot. Lately killer have been getting ultra rare addons that don’t seem too entirely useful, so we’re testing to see if the artist is any different.

That was her nerf from PTB to live dire crows can no longer cause a health state when ran into by survivors.
If they're already swarmed it resets their repel timer, if not it turns into a swarm.
They nerfed her quite a bit from ptb actually, nothing huge but small changes here & there that affected her power.
yeah the value of the addon is the initial surprise factor and then after that you can setup snipes with a bird+m1+bird combo better because they won't repel when healthy. even then it's mostly only good when they didn't play the tile. i don't think changing the time on it would make people play differently. they'd just keep 99'ing the repel until they take damage and then run away.
Well if they just don’t repel you hit them again and have wall hacks. It disincentivizes something would generally be helpful for survivors causing most of the effects to be the hits you can get because they still have crows, meaning hits you get from zoning or just hitting follow up crows
I've had Incredible games with this add on. You set them up to either be 1 hit down or a hit with crows and a quick follow up basic attack once there injured since your crow attack cooldown is shorter
I think what this addon does really is scare them to not repel, so you can snipe them through walls more. In the off chance that they DO repel and they're within melee range at any point, you insta-win the chase. I think that's the thought process behind this addon. It does more for you behind the scenes although you probably won't get many one shots with it. It's probably better at denying altruistic play.
it damaged you if you ran into the idle crows on the PTB. they changed it to only swarm the survivor when they released the chapter.
Watching this… I cant understand why trickster is 110 but this killer is 115. She has range attacks through walls and doesnt have to go to lockers.
1-2 Punch? You mean the Ol' Yeetus Beetus?
If anything, they should make survivors get exposed when they get swarmed while they are swarmed.
"That guy wanted to die. You could tell officer." – Ohtofu
The addon is strong specifically because the way in which survivors have to counter it. If they don't repel, then you can hit them. If they do repel, then you can hit them. It turns the swarm status effect into a lose/lose situation for the survivors. It's like DS where the fear of the addon gives more value than actually getting the exposed hit
The artist… a good time with her blindness on the birds, then hex play thing and hex Pimento cheese is fun to play with together. Sucks against people running booners.
Maybe if you pair it with the Add-on that makes them Oblivious they will have a better reason to repel the birds and end up in a worse position.
Did Demi title this video? 😂
Wouldn't garden of rot be better with undetectable/oblivious perks, or the silver bell/iri feather addons?
Problem with the add on is that it literally tells survivors you have it lol. If you know what Garden of Rot does and you see it on your screen from literally the first swarm you just will never fall for it.
Personally I'm having much more luck with scourge hooks than pop and the hindered swarm add on occasionally pressures them into removing crows. I'm not half as good as you though, so grain of salt and all that🤷♂️
well maybe if mmr wasnt the worst, you would get people that actually repel instead of not even knowing its a feature or how to do it
Yeah, one of the changes they did to Artist on PTB was if you walk into an Idle Crow while Swarmed you no longer take damage but instead reset your Repel bar.
Look at Tofu getting pop value! That's the real showcase in this video my dudes
Ok am I crazy or is that the Nancy hidden in the corner at 6:32 ?
Absolutely love the skin you're using, probably one of the best done in the game imo
15:17 cmon dude, just read the patch notes, it's your job
The idle crows did do damage when running into them in the ptb, but that got changed bc too stronk
I use this add on with the oblivious one as well I think they go good together cus they don’t know if you’re on them while they repel
Its better for just making the survivors make a choice. Repel and hope you just don't get hit in those 4 seconds, or don't repel and use your skill to dodge her birds.
I find a good set up is to run the exhausted add on with it.It forces survivors to repel birds to use their exhaust perks. But still I use it like twice at most a game
I mean, Oni's louder in pre-game. Aaaand thinking he's hot and thus playing him makes it a bit annoying to be sitting there and hearing Kazan SCREAMING every 10 seconds.
Turns out you can click on the hook charms to make them silent.
Otz has paid actors for his vids, you have the opposite. OhTofu's paid saboteurs
I think your just vary unlucky because the people I get olny repal the birds they w key and repal that add on is also impossible for me I'm a nurse main tho
This might be the best title you've ever made, Tofu.
I literally almost called you Touhou.
Been what? Two years since Tofu first put that outro song at the end of his videos? Still catchy AF
Iridescent Photocard is actually really good tho
If I'm not mistaken, the add-on procs when you inflict the survivor with the first swarm so they instantly know not to repel. Maybe not the value you're looking for but value in itself. Allows you to use your power more. Maybe you could try a stealthy perk so they won't exactly know that you're coming without the assistance of Spine Chill or whatever the case may be..
It doesn’t damage you anymore it was like that in the ptb but it was way to strong
Lovely video but the crows dont killer instinct reveal prople in lockers when shot past
Yes
In the PTB idle crows used to hurt you when you were swarmed but the community of course said she was too op so they nerfed that huge aspect about her and makes crows just restart when you run into an idle crow. She would legit be S tier if they didn’t change this. Still an easy A tier. Just not nurse spirit blight level
i used this add on once and got value like twice. i see what they were going for but it’s just not very useful at even mid levels of play
also, i hate games like the first game. as survivor or killer. like so what, you went down😂that’s how the game works. just play, man :/
the strength of this addon doesn't come from the survivor exposed, but from their fear of being exposed. since they almost never repel after the first down they will be much easier to deal with using just your followup shots.
Most maps people will hold w+m1, unless they're dumb
