GhostFace 2.0 — Power Rework
General Concept:
The power is based on Ghostface's identity in Dead by Daylight: a killer who photographs his victims to ambush them when they least expect it. The power changes were inspired by The Artist and The Shape (Myers), but do not necessarily need to follow that model. The kit revolves around two states: Stealth (Ghostface's base mode) and Paparazzo (a new mechanic added to the kit).
(New) Paparazzo
In this mode, Ghostface becomes undetectable and cannot be revealed. He wields a camera and cannot attack, unless he switches to Stealth mode. With the camera equipped, activating the secondary ability button uses it to take "photos" of survivors, making stalking easier. When aiming at a survivor, a progress bar next to their photo (similar to the stalk bar) begins to fill. Upon completing this bar, Ghostface can take a photo using the attack button, emitting a flash that alerts survivors that a photo has been taken. Each survivor has 4 photo bars, representing the amount required to extract the full value of the power. Each photo bar directly influences the modifiers applied when Ghostface enters Stealth mode.
Stealth
Ghostface activates his shroud, becoming undetectable. While unseen, he gains +5% Haste. He can be revealed if observed for a continuous period. When stalking a survivor, they become Exposed; however, the time required to expose each survivor is determined by the number of photos they have (e.g., base stalk time of 5s; each photo reduces this time by 0.5s). Additionally, after leaving a survivor Exposed, their aura is revealed to Ghostface for 5, 10, 15, or 20 seconds, depending on the number of photos. Chasing Exposed survivors grants Ghostface +10% vault speed and weapon wipe speed.
Revealing Ghostface reduces photo progression (revealing via stun counts as 2).
