New Killers powers

Okay maybe it's just me but that Relic in his hand is used by religions when worshipping their God.

Also before people hit me with the moth meme it's called a censer. It's a religious incense burner.

Me personally I believe the killers powers are going to evolve around mist. That being the case I may be basic for even suggesting this is a power but it would be interesting for the killer to actually blind the survivors field of view.


Either that or the Killer will be some sort of pyromancer due to the burns up on his body.

My last idea with pretty much be the plague.


Anyway this is supposed to be a group ordeal so what do all of you think about the next Killers abilities.

    I think that new killer will be a shape shifter.

    Faith can mean religious faith, but it could also be used in place of trust.

    "Have faith in your team."

    The censer merely hides the killer while they change.

    Plus the "look for a light" could mean looking for an ally.

    Looks like plague to me.

    The smoke thing is probably germs or disease not incense.

    His power might be infecting survivors and tempering their abilities.

    Maybe...

    Shapeshifter surv with smoke transition and middle range attack across a deployed pallet

    Skills are undoing gens, surprise attack from being hidden in locker, destroy items from chest, diverse surv costumes...

    His new ability forces the Survivors to vape...Truly, one of the most horrific and scariest Killer to come.

    I hope it's not a shapeshifter. It would be cool but SWF would just spoil the surprise of "Oh no, it's the killer!" I hope it's a killer that travels through smoke and can go through obstacles in his smoke form. Perks could be related to hindering survivor fov, something to slow down gens and something to help in the chase.

    The question is, is the smoke hiding them just for the promotional image? To keep the killer secret? Or is that part of how it will be in-game? Which means the smoke may hide the killer or be a power used on the killer rather than the survivor. By that I mean Wraith and Spirit use their powers on themselves, whereas Clown, Huntress and Trapper use it on others.

    I just had a horrific revelation. What if the new killer is the sad love child of the Wraith and Nurse?

    The killer can change between a mist state and a solid state. He can go through walls while "Cloaked" in the fog state but must "Uncloak" into solid state to hit survivors.

    I had that idea too, but there would probably an a transitional period like how the wriath unclocks.


    At which point this killer would just be a wraith that can go through pallets/walls. I can't see it being that similar to the Wraith.

    The idea doesn’t fit the “oldest killer” premise tho

    I think he meant love child as in their powers combined, not their actual child lore wise.

    When it comes down to it I believe the teaser was there so the Killer could demonstrate their power

    I wouldn't be surprised if it uses the mist. I figure it would be a way of traveling faster. Also probably if darker mist offerings are put out, they travel even faster.

    Then the censer has a big chain on it... So I'm thinking of a whip attack that has some range too it, and on a successful hit, it pulls the survivor to the killer.

    I bet it will move as slow as the nurse, old man pedo priest can't be running around.

    I think none of the guesses will be right and they will be able to surprise us.

    I am just hoping that the new killer is fun to play as. I don't think it will be fun to play against because generally, when one side enjoys, the other side suffers.

    We'll see I guess. I am hoping for a Tuesday PTB and Monday reveal. I am really hyped for this killer right now. The art looks fcking beautiful.
