Killer Suggestion DDLC.
Hello today i would like to share my concept on Monika as a killer from Doki Doki Literature Club.
Monika's Killer Kit:
Character Lore:
Monika is a charismatic and intelligent high school student who exudes confidence. Beneath her friendly exterior lies a dark, obsessive desire to control the story and her peers. As the mastermind behind her world, she uses her knowledge of literature and psychology to manipulate her victims.
Weapon: Literary Scissors
A pair of sharp, ornate scissors that symbolizes Monika’s duality—creation and destruction, crafting poems while also severing the ties of those who threaten her narrative.
Abilities
Primary Power: "Script Reader"
Monika can scan the environment for survivors in a designated radius. Once activated, she can see the auras of all survivors within that radius for a short duration. Survivors that are seen by Monika suffer from the "Overwhelmed" effect, causing them to be hindered in their actions (slower vaulting, healing, etc.).
Cooldown: 20 seconds
Duration: 5 seconds
Secondary Ability: "Narrative Shift"
Monika can manipulate the environment, temporarily changing one of the following elements in the killing realm:
Altering Palette Locations: Randomly move palettes in the map to confuse survivors.
Fake Hooks: Create hooks that do not work, misleading survivors into thinking they can save their teammates.
Cooldown for each manipulation: 60 seconds
Duration of effect: 30 seconds
Perks
Control the Narrative
Whenever a survivor is hooked, Monika receives a token. For each token, the pool of available exit gates gets reduced by one. The survivors will face an additional penalty when attempting to escape.
Max Tokens: 2. (Could add to 3 tokens if in 2v8.)
Just Like You
Survivors who are within Monika’s terror radius are affected by a debuff that reduces their repair and healing speed by 10% for each nearby survivor. This creates a tense atmosphere, as survivors will hesitate to work together.
Duration: 30 seconds after leaving the terror radius.
Heartfelt Words
Monika can listen to the whispers of survivors. After hooking a survivor, all other survivors within a certain distance lose their auras for 15 seconds as Monika tries to connect them through her manipulation.
This can lead to strategic plays as survivors attempt to coordinate rescues without knowing where Monika might be.
Overall Playstyle
Monika's kit focuses on psychological manipulation and strategic control of the environment. She thrives in creating confusion and chaos, forcing survivors to second-guess their actions. Positioning, reading the map, and understanding survivor behavior become crucial for Monika to excel as a killer.
