Updating the Pig's Ambush

Since the release of the Pig, she's been through multiple passes and nerfs. I think its time she had a full rework, similar to that of Freddy.

Her power is painfully mediocre and her abilities don't assist very much in chase. So I would make some changes that make the interactions more interesting and fun for both parties.

Here is what I recommend.

---

POWER (Ambush):

  • Instead of an instant attack, begin to run forward, slowly increasing speed over two seconds, before giving off the roar and going full sprint. This power is cancellable until the roar commences. This prevents the process from feeling sluggish, being forced to almost stop in order to charge the ambush, giving a survivor time to sprint burst away.
  • Hitting someone with Ambush will inflict the Deep Wound status effect.
  • Hitting survivors with this Ambush fills the Power Gauge of Ambush about 50%. When this reaches 100%, The Pig can then use Ambush while standing and instantly, allowing her to run down and finish off a survivor.
  • Hitting a pallet during an Ambush breaks the pallet.

    I'm not sure about Deep Wounds basekit. Personally, I think it should just be an add-on to replace many of Pig's worthless skill check add-ons. Same logic for ambush pallet breaks, just make it an add-on, maybe even an extra ability for Amanda's Letter to make it Ultra Rare worthy

    All I want for her ambush attack is faster roar spam. I quit playing pig because of this stupid delay. It's so unfun.

    Dunno about the pallet break, she seems more of a pallet vaulter because of her size.

    That would just cause the Pig to have Wraith Syndrome, where her Ambush's actual power is reliant on Addons and is otherwise so weak its unbearable.

    Blight gets a pallet break, Demogorgan gets a pallet break, Legion gets a pallet VAULT, Billy gets a pallet break, Bubba gets a pallet break... All these characters get pallet breaks and its good for their kit. I don't see why we can't have the same here.

    And for the Deep Wound, the Pig desperately needs something to incentivize using her Ambush Power in its base kit. Right now there is no incentive except at short loops.

    I actually like this idea. Maybe vaulting the pallet extends her ambush just a bit. But that may have her play a bit too much like Legion.

    I guess you're right, Deep Wounds sucks enough to be base kit so I guess that's acceptable.
