Dbd Update Chapter: Channeling a Nightmare (A Nightmare On Elm Street Licensed Rework Chapter)

pimin

So the team has had time to look over the Killers in game already and have even changed some of the killers in ways to improve them overall. Bubba and Freddy suffered harsh releases because they released so close together and I want to see them both improved. I don't fully know how we can change Bubba, as he's in a perfectly fine spot now, but Freddy has had a few complaints about being unfun to play as. Thusly I have made this new Update Chapter which can include a rework to Freddy and a New Survivor should the Devs wish.(I did not include this survivor as I have never watched the Films) All of the Changes here make him theoretically more fun to play. I want this version of the power to not deviate too far from where it starts but also build up the original version to be on par with Killers like Wraith. The main goal is to introduce more feedback for doing the power correctly and give the power a more manual ability to have survivors sleep.

The Nightmare has become fed up with Survivors escaping his grasp and is now attempting to spread his power further and bend the rules of the trials more. 

Killer: The Nightmare (New Power)

Stats:

Height: Average

Speed: 4.6 m/s

Alternative Speeds: 4 m/s (placing Dream Snares), 3.85 (Enticing a Survivor to Sleep)

TR: 32 meters

Lullaby: 32 meters

Power: The Dream Demon’s Hunt

The Dream Demon’s Hunt cloaks The Nightmare from awake Survivors, causing them to hear his Terror Radius, but only seeing him fully when he is within 16 meters, and only intermittently from 16 to 32 meters. The intermittent sights appear less frequently (+2 seconds) as the distance grows, becoming the most consistent within 24 meters (becomes like current form).

The Nightmare is invisible to Survivors when he is farther than 32 meters away.

If The Nightmare hits a survivor that is asleep the basic attack cooldown is reduced by 20%. (If the basic attack pulls the survivor into the Dream World this bonus does not apply)

While in contact with a survivor, The Nightmare is invisible to all awake survivors outside of 6 meters.

Micro-Sleep:

The Nightmare's presence in the Trial Grounds induces exhaustion causing survivors to micro-sleep, passively causing Survivors to fall asleep over 60 seconds, after which they enter the Dream World. (Survivors in chase no longer fall asleep passively.)

The Nightmare while looking at an awake survivor, who is up to 40 meters away, can entice them to give into the micro-sleep by holding the Power Button. You can only begin to Entice a survivor if you have Line of Sight to them. Enticing slows The Nightmare down to 3.85 m/s. Survivors are completely Enticed to sleep after 2 seconds. Successfully Enticing a survivor to sleep grants a short movement speed burst (3 seconds of 6.9 m/s) and reduces the timer for the survivor by 20 seconds or removes their Immunity to Micro-Sleep.

After reaching 30 seconds or less remaining on the micro sleep timer survivors can see and be affected by Dream Traps within 16 meters with 20% efficiency. (Meaning Dream Snares will reduce speed for less time and Dream Pallets reveal Killer instinct for less time)

Dream World:

Once inside the Dream World: 

Survivors suffer from the Oblivious Status Effect

Survivors only hear The Nightmare's non-directional Lullaby.

Survivors can see and be affected by Dream Traps placed by The Nightmare. (With infinite distance)

Successful Basic Attacks immediately pull Survivors into the Dream World, unless they recently woke up using an Alarm Clock.

Dead Survivors do not count as in the Dream World.

Survivors receive an extra 1.8 seconds of movement speed boost after being hit. (This applies to hits that pull them into the the Dream World) 

When a Survivor Falls asleep their movement speed becomes 150% for 1.8 seconds. (This is a buff to change how Freddy interacts on a whole scale)

Waking Up:

Survivors have several ways to wake up and leave the Dream World:

Failing Generator Skill Checks

Have an awake Survivor perform the Wake Up action on them. Each successive Wake Up action will take twice as long to perform. 

Find and use their personal Alarm Clock.

Wake Up and Alarm Clock Interaction time has been decreased overall.

Using the Alarm Clock will give Survivors immunity from micro-sleep for 60 seconds. This Immunity can Be removed if the survivor is Enticed to Sleep or Hit by a Basic Attack.

Being Hooked.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Dream Snare 

Press and hold the Power button while not facing a survivor to place a Dream Snare on the ground directly in front of The Nightmare.

Survivors that come in contact with a Dream Snare suffer from the Hindered Status Effect, slowing them for as long as they remain within its Area of Effect and for 10 seconds after leaving it (or 2 seconds if the survivor is not in the Dream World). Triggering a Dream Snare reduces the cooldown on Dream Projection by 5%

SPECIAL ABILITY: Dream Pallet 

Press and hold the Power button to place a Dream Pallet at an available location.

A Dream Pallet dropped by a Survivor will be destroyed immediately and not stun The Nightmare.

Throwing a Dream Pallet reduces the cooldown on Dream Projection by 10%

Dream Pallets still Require Addons (which will now include one of every rarity) to be used but have been changed to show survivor locations with Killer Instinct for a prolonged period of time.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Dream Projection

Dream Projection Cool down is 60 seconds

Press and hold the Active Ability button to perform a Dream Projection and teleport to a Generator in view.

During a Teleport, 2 other random different Generators emit the animation The Nightmare could Appear from. If The Nightmare completes a Dream Projection the randomly chosen Generators are highlighted in Yellow and will continue to Bleed in the Dream World around themselves in a radius of 4 meters for 30 seconds acting as one large Dream Snare. The Blood Lingers for the next 30 seconds. While a Generator is Bleeding, Survivors can continue to work on it at a reduced action speed of 35% regardless of the world they Inhabit.

(Removed the base kit ability to cancel Dream Projection)

For each Survivor in the Dream World, the cool-down of using Dream Projection is reduced by a stack-able 20%.

If No Survivors are in the Dream World, the cool-down on Dream Projection is increased by 33.333%. 

Addon Changes:

The main changes here are to make the Dream World itself more threatening. Freddy himself is already a threat but just sleeping while a Killer’s around is more dangerous. Not to mention the Dream Pallet Addons getting changed for the new power

This has been in the works since October 2nd.
