Hollow Knight Killer Concepts Part 3: Traitor Lord
The Traitor
Tall
4.6m/s
32m
Perks: The Traitor comes with 3 new perks: Forth Lord, Infectious Hunger, and Ambush!
Forth Lord: Upon hooking survivors 4 times (in any combination) this perk activates: Hitting a survivor with a special attack grants 30 seconds of 4% haste, this perk is increased to 14% for 6 seconds upon the final generator being completed.
Infectious Hunger: if two generators are completed with no hook states this perk activates, the next survivor you down can be killed by hand regardless of Hook State, this perk then deactivates for the rest of the trial
Ambush!: anytime a survivor sees your aura you gain 15 seconds of Undetectable and see their aura for 5 seconds. this perk has a 40 second cooldown.
Killer Power: Infected Lord
Regicide: holding the Power Button will cause the Traitor Lord to stab his claws into the ground, upon pressing basic attack he will propel himself forward at 18m/s for 0.5 seconds, this will also create two Shockwaves (they are 8m tall, and travel at the same speed as his Dash) at angles of + and - 20 degrees from the angle the dash was started at. Hits with either the dash or the Shockwaves inflict one health state, but the dash will inflict Infection. this has a cooldown of 8 seconds
Infection: Infected Survivors will suffer from a 10% hindered effect for 10 seconds anytime they stun or blind the Traitor Lord, if survivors maintain the Infected Effect for 70 seconds Regicide and its Shockwaves will deal two health states
Dream Nail: somewhere in the trial the Dream Nail will spawn. only one Dream Nail can be on the map at a time. when a survivor grabs the Dream Nail they are inflicted with the Broken, and Incapacitated status effects. The Survivor can choose to either Offer the Dream Nail to a Statue (three spawn around the map, each one can only be used once) or attempt to strike The Traitor with it (this requires entering a 2m cone and striking the Killer). Offering the Nail to a Shrine will cleanse the Infection of the survivor who offered the nail, and one other random survivor, but striking The Traitor with the Dream Nail will cleanse all survivors of their Infection, after either of these events have occurred the Dream Nail will respawn once 120 seconds have passed.
