How is Blight Rush hitbox actually looking?

it looks weird from a survivor standpoint, but there isnt really much weird about this from the killer pov.

Something to keep note of is that the red stain isnt 100% accurate depiction of the killers fov, that it covers roughly 80-ish % of it.

From what I'm to understand, Blight's hitbox is massive when he first swings after a lethal rush - basically anything that is remotely close to him will count as a hit and this hitbox supposedly shrinks as the swing goes on making it more forgiving the further into the swing Blight actually is

Also part of the reason why hits like this are possible is because Blight's lethal rush swing doesn't collide with objects. You can swing at objects like trees and glide past them to get hits.

The desk hitbox moves based off blight's viewing angle if at any point, the desk collides with meg, blight stops rushing and hit connects. The blight in your game just swung at the tree so he hit you. I would hit that rush 9/10 times on blight. you will not really outplay seasoned blight on a tree like that.

you went right than went left and ran into his swing. Before he swung, he changed his viewing angle by 90 degrees than he did a 90 degree lunge flick. Some people refer to this as Z-flick tech on blight. he just swung at the tree and the yellow part connected and hit you.

You can flick twice, its called an S flick. Which was dubbed around the same time J flick was, so a year ago. Also idk where the streamer is located but judging by the blights fit it was prob lilith omen which knows blight in and out.

Edit: Watched the vod back and it wasn't lilith but the blight did have adren vial which makes the hit even more possible as the increased look angle allows for flicking further.

Maybe I could explain it a little better... So in FPS games there's weird kills right where you get killed despite the opposing players model is not fully looking at you. Here is what it's happening to where on the blights screen they are looking at the meg but on the megs POV the blight model isn't turning fast enough.

You can see evidence of this when spin attempts fail and the killer swings, survivor gets injured, then the killer turns. Essentially that is happening here but on a little smaller scale. It's all server latency which naturally always happens unless you're the one hosting the server. And as it's EU the killer could be somewhere from the bottom of Spain while the survivor is from more middle to Eastern EU.

Either way she still ran into the blight and where the hit actually connected the blight was already looking at where she was. Or could be the simple fact the blight had a better connection to the server than she did. I still find the issue above to be prevalent even with similar low ping games though.

Blight flicks change from a cone into a wall if they flick at the right time look up0 blight guides and they show you how you do it. Also one techique that us usually safe and screws over a blight player is a 180 deadhard in a open area because your dh will avoid his hitbox and he cant react quic enough to adjust back on your tail unless hes using a compound 7 auto adjust.

I mean either way, the blight did a hard read and got rewarded for it. If she decided to keep running past the tree to shack while LOS was broken and not into the blights path she would have dodged the hit 100%.

Meg's head is clearly between Blight's weapon and Blight in this screenshot. You can clearly see that the weapon went right through Meg's head, and that Blight's weapon is closer to us than Meg's head.

And when Blight taps or holds the attack button during a Lethal Rush, he's allowed to instantly turn up to 90 degrees, and that is what he did in the video. It didn't require any special addons, and it didn't require any special techniques. It's literally part of his base kit, and it's how his flicks work.

Starting swing hitbox is massive on purpose she just ate it completely. If it was directional like normal lunges it would be very easy to dodge him in the open since he has to commit to a direction when swinging.

Once again in a post earlier. There has been games and this game is no exception where the model doesnt accurately represent where the killers screen actually is. If I have to redownload dbd just to make you understand how its possible I might just have to.

Edit: https://youtu.be/9sp_0PCdSOo?t=396 Literally in liliths blight guide he shows that you can turn basically nearly 90 aftering doing a 90 flick. This is then further enhanced by the adren vial making the turn cap initiate later.

It still somewhat relevant because the blight was using adrenaline vial. Also last I checked you can still make flicks like those even post heli blight patch. Now going from like a full blown 120+ flick to 90 is impossible but going from a 90 to a 90 is still very much possible.

Blight can desync his move vector from his look vector by turning his camera horizontally faster than his turning speed (vial addon makes this easier), then he can hold the attack button to set his move vector to equal his look vector, to somewhat bypass the large angle turn nerf.

Pre-turning object sliding works, because when Blight quickly turns his camera horizontally, Blight’s move vector is still parallel enough to the wall that he’s still sliding forward, even though his camera might be facing in the opposite direction (from Blight’s screen, it looks like he’s moving backwards). This is what allows Blight to do things like sliding along multiple shack walls without using the attack button.

But he can’t just instant 90+90 like he could before the large angle turn nerf. 180 flicks now involve quickly flicking the mouse a short distance to turn 90 degrees, then slowing the mouse movement down to match the reduced large angle turn limit. If this is done correctly, Blight can do a real 180 without lifting the mouse off the table, especially if he moves the mouse in a rainbow shape instead of a straight line, because a rainbow shape covers more desk space without moving the mouse super far away from its original position. But that second 90 degree turn will be slowed down like Blight is moving through molasses.

Sometimes you still see people throw their mouse across the table multiple times when they try to do a real 180, because they don’t understand the second half of the 180 degree flick has a much lower turn speed limit. Or maybe they think it’s too much effort to learn the muscle memory for the reduced large angle turning speed, and it’s easier for them to just repeatedly throw their mouse across the table, to brute force the 180.

Alternately, Blight can instant 90 degree flick, short pause, then instant 90 degree flick, where the short pause is long enough to reset the large angle turning speed.
