The Shape

Power: Evil Within

Activating Evil Within allows The Shape to see his prey clearly and build up more evil power by Stalking them. As the Trial progresses, The Shape becomes more powerful over time, and is granted the ability to kill a Survivor by his hand.

Evil Within 1:

While Evil Within 1 is active, The Shape is granted the Undetectable status effect and has a slightly decreased movement speed and lunge. While Evil Within 1 is active for the first time, The Shape slightly refills the Power Gauge for each successful basic attack or interruption he does on a Survivor, until the Power Gauge is full. Once the Power Gauge is full, press the Active Ability button to enter Evil Within 2.

Evil Within 2:

While Evil Within 2 is active, The Shape has a moderately decreased Terror Radius and has a slightly increased movement speed and lunge. Anytime The Shape is not Stalking, press the Active Ability button to activate Evil Within 1.

Evil Within 3:

When the Power Gauge is full while Evil Within 2 is active, press and hold the Active Ability button to activate Evil Within 3. When activated, all Survivors suffer from the Exposed status. Evil Within 3 lasts for 60 seconds, after which, it regresses to Evil Within 1.

Special Ability: Stalk

Press and hold the Power button to Stalk all visible Survivors. Stalking Survivors builds up your progress through Evil Within tiers.

Special Ability: Ultimate Sacrifice

When The Shape has completely drained Evil from a Survivor after Stalking, the next time Evil Within 3 is active, The Shape is granted the ability to kill a Survivor by his hand, by pressing the Attack button. When a Survivor is killed, The Shape's Power Gauge depletes entirely and will enter Evil Within 1.
