Gruntilda The Witch Killer Concept

Not gonna lie, I love the idea.

Small things from this bother me like missing numbers but you wrote these like a Spotlight video so I can forgive it. The little details I'm seeing just make me love it more. But as trying to give fair shakes to these concepts, I'm gonna say these small criticisms. Don't let them change anything if you don't want them to. This is awesome and I want to see more from you.

Power Breakdown:

Curse Orbs:

Fires projectiles that inflict status effects depending on the health-state of a survivor. (Excellent Idea and a thing I kind of want to hear more about.)

If you hit a healthy survivor: Blindness, Exhausted, Mangled, and rare chance to get Exposed.

First would be removing Mangled from this list and adding it to injured. Healthy survivors don't get affected by it at all and it disappears instantly once applied in this situation only really getting a location on them. which is fine but maybe switch this with Hindering in the other list.

If you hit an Injured Survivor: Broken, Deep Wound, Hindered (for a short amount of time), Hemorrhage, and Oblivious.

all of this works fine but....

All applied effects disappear on the survivor being hit. (Now here's a blatant contradiction why does the hindered effect have a stipulation for time but nothing else does.) If they disappear from damage, there's no point in making hindered last a short time. along with that Deep Wounds. while yes that effect is there and is fine for what this is maybe remove it.

Overall, though, this part of the power is fine. a few tweaks here and there will make all the effects work as they should.

Second Orb:

The Numbers on this are missing entirely but let's work this out.

While in chase after an amount of time, a second orb will appear and follow the survivor and home in on them for a short time eventually hitting something (whether it's a wall or survivor is irrelevant).

okay so I like this but maybe make it follow Scratch marks specifically. Grunty's a witch she could figure it out. it would also help serve more options to Grunty.

If the Orb hits a survivor, they take damage.

If it hits a Wall, the aura of the survivor being chased is revealed for a short time. (Usually this means about 3-5 seconds)

Defining how big this thing is, changes my thoughts on this. If the orb is large enough to do this, then fine yeah, I get it. if it's a small orb that travels over small objects then maybe see how it would do in another way.

trivia:

okay so... this is something that is very unique and there's a lot to unpack.

When the Exit Gates are powered Survivors must try and solve a Trivia question before they can attempt to open the exit gates. The answer's result determines the effect. (What types of questions... and do the players have to solve them?)

Correct answers are a buff to the survivors: Haste, Increased opening speed, Endurance

Incorrect answers are a buff to Grunty: Unstoppable Orb (as I call it), Haste, Undetectable.

Incorrect answer could also Nerf Survivors: Exposed, Hindering, reveal their auras, decreased opening speed, or block switches for some time.

Okay now, if the survivors let go, do they have to solve another? all the effects here are fine except a mislabel on Exposed. This is fun, but to keep it fair, make the Questions about the current trial in particular if the Players are the ones answering the questions.

That's it for the power. To help in making these questions and other things I imagine a game with the killer power in question. For Grunty here, I did a Coal Tower game. anyhow.

Perks:

This is where the criticism will be a bit harsher as perks are the easier of the two major parts of a killer to make and have to be applicable to all killers in some way.

Beauty:

Putting a Survivor into the Dying State (by any means?) causes all Boon Totems to become Hex Totems that cannot be blessed again for 60/70/80 seconds.

okay so first what do you mean by Hex Totems here. if it means inverting the effects of the boon okay. The only thing I want to say is maybe have the entity block the turned Totems for less time than currently stated. And only the Boons associate with that survivor.

(Suggested Changed Description) Putting survivor into the Dying State by any means causes Totems blessed by that survivor to become Hex Totems with the inverse effects of the original blessing. This totem becomes blocked by the Entity for the next 40/50/60 seconds. Converted Totems still count as Active Boon Perks for a survivor meaning a survivor cannot boon another totem while Beauty is affecting them.

Scourge Hook: Witch Inversion:

 After hooking a Survivor on a Scourge Hook All Survivors suffer from blurry vision, and their movement is inverted for 20/22/25 seconds.

Fun, but please no. This is a weird one to work with. By Blurry Vision I assume you mean similar to Clown's Intoxication effect. Where I, sadly, draw the line is inverting movement controls for that long. Personally I'd limit the Movement inversion to at most (tier 3) 10 seconds. but really there's very little wrong with this perk just a personal preference.

WitchCraft:

After Sacrificing a Survivor, the Killer's power is fully charged and activated however, will not combo with they've brought in addons.

Hi yes... what does this mean? more specifically what about those weird Combo things. Like Trapper, (does it generate a new trap?) or Hillbilly (recover all Overheat build up?) There's also a Teir up effect missing but for this it's a little hard to quantify. This perk is witchcraft and by that logic. let's try this.

(Suggested Change Log):

Make this a Hex and make it appear once a survivor is Sacrificed to the Entity.

Increase the effects of addons by 10/20/30%

The aura of the Totem is shown to survivors for 3 seconds after 20 seconds. (Fairness change, trust me it's needed)

Instantly recharge the Power every time a survivor is Hooked after the Totem activates.

For all Kilers this means:

Trapper: All Unset Traps become Active

Wraith: Instantly becomes cloaked

Hillbilly/ Cannibal: All overheat is removed and charge time for the next use of the ability is increased by 50%

Nurse: Charge time for Blinks is increased by 25%

Shape: Makes the Shape Teir up from its current (with Scratched and Vanity Mirrors this does not work)

Hag: The next Trap becomes 10% faster to place.

Doctor: Static Blast becomes Available.

Huntress: Instantly reloads all Hatchets.

Nightmare: All survivors immediately become asleep.

Pig: Active Traps lose 2 seconds on their timer.

Clown: Instantly Reloads all Bottles

Spirit: Yamaoka's Haunting becomes available

Legion: Feral Frenzy becomes available

Plague: The Next Vile Purge charges 50% faster

Ghostface: Night Shroud becomes available

Demogorgon: The Next Portal interaction happens 25% faster

Oni: Blood Fury Charges completely

Death Slinger: Instantly Reloads the Redeemer

Pyramid head: Completely Charges the Torment Trail Gauge

Blight: Next fatigue from rushes is 25% faster

Twins: Victor's Idle Timer is completely refilled.

Trickster: Reloads all Trick Blades

Nemesis: Tiers up from current Stage

Cenobite: Next Chain used applies 4 chains

Artist: Birds of Torment becomes completely charged.

(Grunty) Witch: Second Orb becomes able to be used.

looks up at this list Dear lord that's a lot. Sorry this one needed so much. Without defined effects this perk is scary in how it could function so it's better to define it now, what do you think?

(Suggested Perk Description):

Hex: Witchcraft:

After Sacrificing a Survivor, if there is at least one Dull totem remaining in the Trial Hex: Witchcraft activates on a random totem.

While Hex: Witchcraft is active:

• Addon effects are increased by 10/20/30%
• {Killer Specific Ability} every time a survivor becomes hooked.

After being active for 20 seconds the aura of the Totem with Hex: Witchcraft applied to it is revealed to all Living Survivors for 3 seconds.

Sorry if these changes seem to be a lot. I have a lot of respect for the Balance of Perks and powers in the game, so these kinds of things often become projects in and of themselves. Take all of these changes however you please and don't overthink anything I've said. Good luck in your future endeavors and I hope to see more of this.
