Another New Balanced Survivor Suggestion

As the title says...


As always, I am not good at writing backstories.


Name: Sylvie Roberts

Backstory: Sylvie Roberts was born in France and may be a tad bit... Insane.


Perks:

"Stab": Stab an injured survivor. Upon stabbing a survivor, they are shown sacrificed to everyone for 10 seconds - the survivor is immune to the first attack by the killer, but is inflicted with the deep wound status effect and has to mend in 10/15/20 seconds before going down. However, you are exposed for 10 seconds. Stab has a cooldown of 60/50/40 seconds.

"Scream": Within the killer's terror radius, let out a loud scream, revealing your location. When the killer is within 16 meters, sprint at 150% of your normal running speed for 5 seconds. You suffer from the Exhausted status effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Scream has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

"Not Really Stealthy" You cannot crouch, but can walk 90/95/100% faster and leave no scratch marks

    I do like the core of these ideas, big pay off for big rewards, the issues are in the details.

    Stab for example, you basically apply an old MoM to them, and with a relatively short cooldown and minor downside this is heavily abusable.

    Scream seems divided to me. Theres a passive sprint burst but on steroids, absolutely busted powerful infact, and then theres a second action (like pebble) that seems in no way tied to the sprint burst, but instead to be a tool whos only niche is to bring the killer to your location, which is heavily abusable in the other direction, the sandbagging one

    Not really stealthy also seems unnecessary powerful, trade off the ability to crouch to essentially be running everywhere without scratchmarks is absolutely ludicrous, even going against the name itself since the no scratch marks makes you the stealthiest around.

    Unfortunately, as they are and even heavily tweaked they would be unlikely to fit the game for various reasoning, but as i said, the core of them might be possible to salvage

    Only scream has potential to me. The others just don't fit the dbd vibe.
