well…we seem to still be alive so im going to take advantage and ask and discuss everyones thoughts on Art/The Terrifier.

How do we feel about his power and such?

i actually think hes quite balanced and bringing Dramaturgy for killers is such a fun concept

    He isn't going to be fun to go against, I think.

    Vecna isn't, Dracula isn't, so I doubt Art will. He is basically another one of those except his power relies on RNG.

    I can't comment on what he's like to play as or against, but he seems like a pretty faithful adaptation to me (which is the most important thing for me when licensed characters come to the fog). I was a bit worried they'd take the gore a little too far with him but it seems like they've dialed it back quite a bit. I'm sure that might upset a few of his hardcore fans, but I think that's probably for the best. I've a seen a lot of gory horror films and the Terrifier was a bit much even for me.

    Although I do like the characters of Art and Sienna, I still think the movies are pretty awful. It's a shame they've not been in a good film yet or else I'd definitely be getting the full chapter. I might at least unlock Sienna if Best Gift Ever makes it to live intact because it seems like a very fun perk, but I dunno.

    I've not been on the ptb but what I've seen he should be relatively ok. The readying/charge up of each toy before firing is actually decently long which gives survivors a chance to actually avoid pain. But that's my 2 cents.

    my opinion on Jason has softened a tiny bit but I still think Art will be a better fit for dbd than Jason despite not liking the source material.

    time will tell if his basement patrolling is too strong.

    Looks boring tbh. Put this power on a non-licensed killer and people would be calling him a gambling killer and how much of a failure he is. Once the hype dies down I imagine art the clown may not be a fun killer after all. Mains may say too weak and lacks mobility while survivors will say glock and camping is too annoying. I think the hype comes from a series of controversial and complex killers (orbital nuker, jason, vecna), now we have a more grounded and simpler killer design, so people are happy about that.
