Ways to make Freddy more Interesting

Barin

The Nightmare is a nightmare to balance. I wanted to make him more fun.

Problem with Freddy:

1. Freddy is weak (against competent/experienced players)
2. Freddy has a boring playstyle (gen kick/slowdown perks)
3. Freddy has weak or terrible add-ons

TLDR; Possible solutions:

1. Make his pallets base kit and buff his add-ons
2. Co-operate his current power with his old kit (pre-rework Freddy)
3. Rework him again (unlikely)

MY REWORK:

1. Gave the Current Freddy some elements of the Old Freddy
2. Every way to get out of the Dream World is still the same: Fail a skill check, wake-up action and Alarm Clock.
3. Added lullaby Radius for Awake Survivors and removed Oblivious Status Effect in the Dream World
4. The Nightmare has a normal Terror Radius (in the Dream World) of 32 metres and a 4.6 m/s movement speed

DREAM DEMON:

• Dream Demon cloaks The Nightmare from awake Survivors, causing them to hear his Lullaby Radius of 24 metres but only see him fully when he is within 12 metres, and only intermittently from 12 to 24 metres.
• The Nightmare is invisible to Survivors when he is farther than 24 metres away.
• While the Survivors are in the Dream World they hear a 32-metre Terror-Radius and The Nightmare is not invisible anymore.
• Every time Survivors become Asleep or are outside his Terror-Radius, their Killer Instinct is shown for 3 seconds.
