Ways the Onryō could be improved
I've been playing straight ~12h a day (enjoying my vacation :) ) for the past few days or so, and most of it were with sadako. I'm loving her ptb changes but she's still underwhelming and the changes do little to nothing to help her level the play field.
These are suggestions that could be prototyped and changed in the future:
A - Changes we need.
B - Changes that are my deep rhoughts
A) Much needed changes:
- While demanifested she SHOULD NOT start a chase with any survivor, or continue the chase she's in. (these could imply in complications with the emblem system but could be worked around).
- While demanifested, give her a 10% haste speed. this should turn her into a 5.0 killer. This will allow her to close gaps faster while in chase and could use the extra speed to go towards generators that had their tv turned off. While manifesting, the change from 125% to 115% should be smooth, to prevent motion sickness. turning into a 115% completely when 100% manifested.
- She should not be penalized while manifesting, REMOVE the movement penalty please.
- Bloody Fingernails should be Basekit (more 50% time of speed burst after teleporting out of a TV). This will help to use it to patrol/chase.
B) Some more changes I would make personally, but we could live without:
- Allow her to be undetectable for 1s after manifesting, to help with mindgames.
- Reduce the sound she makes while demanifested. The lullaby should be it, she should not have a noise that allows people to know EXACTLY where you are comming from. (ex: Huntress) even if that means increased Lullaby radius.
This would turn her into a very balanced killer that will pair her strength with survivors. She will have a fair fight having more tools to handle her chases and gen patrol. She's AMAZING at map patrolling, but she's very very poor at chases. Translating to very long chases and enough time to finish all gens before we even have a chance to turn the game around.

Completely agree with the changes.
Sadako sadly feels like downgraded wraith which is also sad considering that wraith is a laughable killer after unreasonable nerf.
She needs a buff.

She will get buffed In either 3 yo 4 months or a year from now. But if I know these devs like I do, they will never add anything else to her kit and just play with her numbers and add on and call it buffs.
P.s. they will also nerf her best add-ons and make her crap ones meemy and call it good.

I'm actually doing better with her than Wraith because she's much more fluidly able to go in and out of stealth then he is. Just tonight I had a 3k with hatch against 4 iri 1 players (not that Iri 1 means as much as people think but it's still fun to see that on the endgame screen.) What Wraith has in the extra speed while cloaked Sadako makes up for by still moving at about 100% speed while Manifesting and maintaining partial Invisibility afterwards. Plus her teleport is good for patrolling as well.
Not that I'd turn down a buff for her if the devs determine she still needs one. 🙂 But at least for me she's a bit better than Wraith and definitely more fun to play than him.

She is by no means stronger than Wraith lol.. maybe on par with Trapper

Actually a decent list of small buffs for her.
