The Illusionist (The Magician Chapter) Killer Concept!

VexGamingTV

The Illusionist idea was actually thought up from a dream I had after many nights of streaming Dead By Daylight lol

The Illusionist was a Magician that once served in a traveling Carnival around the world. Oddly enough every location the Carnival set up people have gone missing, never to be seen again. The screams heard at night was thought to be just an advertising campaign for the Haunted House section of the Carnival, then turned into a wild conspiracy theory that those screams were the screams of victims who went missing amongst the night.

Power:

Sapping Mana and Winded Swipe

The Illusionist can swap between two types of cards that can be thrown at survivors. These cards can be curved when thrown or thrown straight. This allows the killer to throw the cards around a wall in chase or through a window or pallet around a rock, ect. Think Phoenix flashes from Valorant if your wondering how that will work. These Cards do not damage the survivor.

The Winded Swipe Card gives the killer a slight boost in speed when hit. Similar to how the wraith gets a boost after coming out of cloak. Once one card makes contact with a survivor it goes on cooldown. The other card can still be used during this cooldown. If you hit the survivor with the other card while the one card was on cooldown the cooldown for the first card comes off cooldown allowing him to use it again.

The Sapping Mana Card gives the killer mana. When The Killer Reaches 100% Mana he can use "The Magicians Greatest Trick". Once one card makes contact with a survivor it goes on cooldown. The other card can still be used during this cooldown. If you hit the survivor with the other card while the one card was on cooldown the cooldown for the first card comes off cooldown allowing him to use it again.

The Magicians Greatest Trick - At every generator there is a mirror facing the generator about 8 meters back. In the mirror there is an Illusion of the Magician Shuttering with spasms bending in inhumane ways. There is nothing to worry about with these illusions. Until you hear the Magicians Diabolical Laugh. When you hear this you know the Illusionist reached 100% Mana and is using his ability. The Magician chooses a generator to teleport to. Once teleported he takes the position of his illusion in the mirror. If he doesnt move after teleporting the animation of the illusion stays the same to trick any survivor into the false sense of safety if the killers sees scratch marks. The illusionist isnt close enough to grab the survivor off of a gen unless the survivor isnt paying attention to the mirror.

The mirror is there to constantly keep the survivors on edge. Even though its not a threat, just having the mirror there with the creepy illusionist looking at you doing the gen, knowing at any moment that illusion may come to life is sure to creep out even the greatest of survivors.

Perks:

Gotcha!

Hex: Hat Trick

Peek a Boo

Gotcha! - One Extra Gen Spawns on the Map. One of the Gens will be grabbed by the entity and pulled underground when the Gen reaches 65%/75%/85% Completion. This Perk is just there to slow down Generator progression.

Hex: Hat Trick - This Perk Must be used with another Hex Perk or Perks. When a Hex totem is being dismantled if the survivor comes off of the Totem the Hex will transfer to another totem on the Map. Up to 1/3/5 times per match.

Peek A Boo - When entering a Locker there is a 10%/15%/20% Chance the Locker gets stuck for 8/12/15 seconds. The time starts once the survivor tries to leave the locker. During the time the survivor's stuck in the locker an aura is shown to the killer of which locker the survivor is stuck in.

Add Ons

I'm Just going To do The Pink Addons since the other addons can be simple stuff like cooldown rates on abilities, mana production per hit, and speed boosts %.

Ultra Rare Add on 1

Mime Mask - The Winded Swipe Card is no longer able to be used. The Killer no longer does a diabolical laugh when teleporting to a mirror. Mana Production on hit with The Sapping Mana Card is increased by 15%. Cooldown on The Sapping Mana Card is slightly reduced.

Ultra Rare Add on 2

Magic feather - When a Player is hit with the Winded Swipe Card that player becomes marked. Only the killer can see marked players. If the killer hits a marked survivor with M1 the survivor loses the mark. When the killer uses 'The Magicians Greatest Trick' if a marked survivor is within 2 meters of a Gen the Gens aura will be shown to the killer.

did you notice that your second perk is literally one perk of the blight (new killer chapter 17). The first perk is way too strong but i like the third one (even tho ive seen it several times on this forum).

i like the killers power but dont know if it is too unique enough for a new killer (but hey, look at the blight, he has the most boring ability and is still there)

I like the perks A LOT!
