New killer idea


I was thinking a vampire I’ve worked out a backstory and everything. I would love to hear your ideas. 

Killer: Count Dracula 

Name: The Vampire 

terror radius 32m 

movement speed: 4,8m/s

Ability: Bat swarm, this would work similar to the nurse’s blink but without the fatigue effect, it would transform the player into a swarm of bats a leap 10 meters forward at 8m/s (200% normal speed) It does not allow the player to phase through the physical but can jump trough any vault locations. If a survivor is hit by the bat swarm it would count as a basic attack. (Kind of like the demogorgon’s shred attack) The player can do this 3 times after which the ability goes into a 30 seconds cool down. 

active ability: embrace of the shadows. This grants the killer the undetectable status effect until the killer attacks or is stunned. 

perk: Bloodlust: The Vampire’s bloodlust allows him to see the auras of all survivors in the injured or dying state within a 10/12/15 meter radius 

perk: supernatural hearing: this perk gives the survivors a sort of terror radius if you will. It gives The vampire the ability to listen to the survivors’ heart beats in a 10/15/20 meter radius 

Perk: wrath of the undead: after the killer has been stunned by a pellet 2 times the perk activates if the killer is hit by a pellet again the pellet will be destroyed instantly and the survivor closest to the killer will suffer from the exposed status effect for 20/30/45 seconds and have their aura revealed to the killer for 3/5/7 seconds


let me know if you want to know more like cosmetics and/or his backstory

    I would love to know about Dracula's backstory, he seems like an extremely unique and original character.



    To be slightly serious: The Killer Power is absolutely out of control, being able to chain 3 dashes together that damage Survivors along the way plus allowing ignoring of vault locations without any fatigue afterwards is bonkers. In loops, this would be like if Legion grabbed Leatherface's chainsaw. Sure, he can't go through walls, but when you have 3 seperate dashes with no fatigue, presumably with the ability to basic attack lunge out of it, you don't need to, and can easily end any chase very quickly.

    Bloodlust is essentially a straight upgrade to A Nurse's Calling and makes perks like Iron Will completely worthless, plus would be completely out of control on a character like Legion. Supernatural Hearing is just Whispers. Wrath of the Undead is just a direct upgrade to Spirit Fury which is already quite a good Perk.


    I really enjoy fanmade chapter/Killer concepts, don't get me wrong, but please. Just... Please. Even if a power's overpowered, at least check existing Perks to see if your idea already exists, and come on, Dracula?

    My guy, this killer seems pretty busted.

    I've given the power much thought, yes it seems overpowered, but you have to take into a count that most survivors zigzag back and forth making such a power difficult to use. Also 10 meters is not that far. I've introduced this idea to counter the endless loops killers often get trapped in. Obviously the idea is not perfect, perhaps I wasn't clear after a dash you would have the same cool-down as if you attacked.

    And yes Dracula, you want make an character that most people know. And c'mon who doesn't know Dracula. He would fit right next to Freddy and Scream.
