So about Oni's ultra rare addons

I want them to be changed to actually be on the level of ultra rare. Just because he is a good killer doesn't mean his ultra rares should stay borderline useless.

In the post where I changed them, I came up with these ideas for the Oni's ultra-rare addons. Do you feel they should be changed, or are they fine?


Renjiro's bloody glove: Ultra-rare addon

"All survivors can see blood orbs, a survivor's aura is revealed for 2 seconds whenever they come into contact with a blood orb, this effect stacks for each blood orb touched. Reduces the number of blood orbs survivors drop by half."

Iridescent family crest: Ultra-rare addon

"When "blood fury" is active and the Oni is demon dashing, survivors within 8 meters of the Oni will scream. Any survivor who is in the terror radius of the Oni when he activates "blood fury" will scream revealing their location for 4 seconds."

    I agree that the Oni needs his ultra rares changed. Here’s how I would buff the addons

    Renjiros bloody glove-When activating blood fury all survivors auras are revealed for 5 seconds.

    Iridescent family crest-Oni makes no noise when activating blood fury and while blood fury is active. Gain the undetectable effect while demon dashing.

    I think Renjiro's bloody glove could stay the same, because of No power Oni. But Iridescent family crest could see some changes.

    However, it has been a very long time since I've last played Oni, so I am probably not the best person to talk about his add-ons.

    Hmm,i kinda like your idea for the Iridescent Family Crest.

    I just want to see the reactions of people getting bonked out of nowhere

    Not trying to be rude, but these seem pretty weak.

    In this idea, the glove would let you see survivors for a few seconds which don't get me wrong it's a great thing to have, but oni is all about power management. This would make Oni players more enticed to just spam his power whenever. It would be nice to see them, but is just a bit too simple. Also, if Oni players kept using his power, they would probably make him use more of his power each time to get downs, especially once they realize you are using this.

    The undetectable status effect while dashing is a bit pointless because he stomps louder than demogorgon, and survivors can hear that from about 32 meters away. I also think it would be weird to have the power with a name blood fury not make the Oni scream lol, it would look like he was whisper yelling.

    For Iridescent Family Crest, I personally think it should just be limited to survivors screaming when the Oni Demon Dashes past them within the 8 meter radius.

    The aura reveal on activation is a little overboard imo. A lot of Oni's Blood Fury counter play comes from hiding and being stealthy when he gets his ability, so I think giving him that much information puts him a little over the top. Definitely a pretty solid concept though, good job!

    Thanks, but I sort of agree and disagree with your statements.

    So I agree with the IFC statement. The IFC change should probably just get rid of the scream when activating blood fury. But, I would then suggest to increase the radius of the screaming to something like 16 meters, 8 meters for using his power just seems a bit too small and underwhelming for an ultra rare. Even then, all it would do is let you know where survivors are when using your power to patrol. This isn't the best use of his power. I think I could probably change the IFC to something else or keep the main idea with a different effect.

    I sort of disagree with the aura reveal disagreement (hehe). Halving the amount of blood orbs survivors drop is a pretty huge deal. Not only that, but the max number of charges worth of blood orbs that can be on the map at once is 100. So you would have good information with a drawback for Oni. I think it is still far better than what we have now.

    The second part was referring to the TR aura reveal scream when the Oni activates his power when using the IFC, not Renjiros Blood Orb reveal effect. My bad, I should have clarified further lol.

    Agreed. 8M is definitely too small on for it to be the sole effect of the addon. Also agree with you on the patrol part, considering you're typically supposed to use your power when you already have information as to where the survivors are through BBQ or other aura perks. I think 16 meters would be a good number, but a little underwhelming on it's own. Another effect would definitely do it some good and surely make it a nice addon.

    It’s hard to word but I would make the addon where when he’s in blood fury he’s completely quiet no footsteps no growling the only sounds you will hear is the sound of his kanabo smashing the floor
