The dredge is fun except....

Ah, OK. I haven't seen any Dredge players use them while being looped. One Dredge was placing them behind him while he chased someone holding W, I ran through it to see what would happen and nothing did so had no idea if it should've done something or not. 😂

So far most of my attempts to anti-loop using the remnant have left me foolishly disoriented when I warp back and by the time I know what direction to swing, the survivor's made distance again. I'm sure with practice it'll be easier but right now that thing's hard to use!

He's like a reverse Artist.

I feel like he would have been better designed if they didn't shove that anti-loop into his kit and gave him something more unique instead.

It’s about prediction. You know where he set the remnant and you can predict that he’ll teleport back, similar to Hag’s traps at a loop.

Yea like others have said you gotta play against him in a similar way you should play against Artist. Or even hag (if you imagine his remnant as a hag trap).

Hold W, chain pallets/windows, never loop the same loop if he places his remnant.

place remnant at a pallet, loop survivor into remnant, teleport back to remnant and you get a free hit.

or if the survivor runs into you, cancel the ability and then just hit them normally.

Yes, but the difference is: the Dredge outclasses Sadako in almost every way. Almost everything she can do, it does better.

Teleporting to TVs? Dredge can teleport to lockers. It takes longer to teleport to a locker, sure, but Dredge isn't locked in animation after teleporting like Sadako and has killer instinct to perceive where nearby survivors are. Also, there are far more lockers than TVs on the map, and they can't be made unusable like the TVs. Locking them only slows Dredge down and can be done only once, unlike turning TVs off.

Confusing people at loops to make them go to the wrong side and down them? The remnant does that far better than her intermittent invisibility ever will.

Sneaking on survivors? Sure, the Dredge needs Nightfall to be undetectable, but when it's active, not only is he undetectable, the whole map is dark and survivors field of view limited, there are constant cries that survivors keep hearing, and the killer has no "lullaby" to warn survivors he is coming nor a loud manifesting noise before attacking. He is more visible than her, yeah, but that won't matter if you just quickly appear in a locker behind the survivor doing a gen.

In other words, the only thing she can do where she isn't completely outclassed is being stealth at any time, instead of needing an active passive, walls to get behind and a locker, but that only thing is not even that good, as stealth abilities are quite weak in this game and she will still be seen if the survivor is in an open area with clear line of sight, even with her low visibility.

People said they would rather have a killer with little to no anti-loop then we got Onryo, if a killer has little to no anti looping power they genuinely do not end up well. Like I get people are tired of anti-loop killers, but can people take a look at how boring it is to play a no anti-loop killer? It's literally just people pre-dropping pallet simulator, there is a reason why no anti-loop killers aren't played often because they suck to play as.

It should only take around 5 bars for Sadako to Mini Mori via Condemned. I think it’s like 6-7 bars. That’s why The Onryo sucks.

Her actual power is the ability to condemn a player, and then Mini Mori someone who has the red ring; However, it’s neigh impossible to do this consistently. The devs made her main ability a gimmick since an insta kill would irritate players. If you’re lucky you can pull it off every blue moon, but then you waste more time trying to Mori someone than to just play accordingly.

I’ve Mini Mori’d more with my main Rancor Doctor than with Sadako…. 😔

I honestly do not see that problem.

Dredge is quit slow while doing his teleport thing. Its not like he is Spirit and can catch up to you. On longer loops his power is pretty worthless on shorter loops you can even reach his Remnant. He has descent counterplay even in the loop.

I do however agree that he is just a far better Sadako.

I bought Sadako because I liked her design. However I bought Dredge yesterday and had more fun getting stomped than I had while winning with Sadako, just because I had a funny power and could sometimes be a stealthy pile of meat in the dark. He was tons more fun, which is quit sad for Sadako.

Whenever he is holding his power to potentially teleport to a locker, it also leaves a remnant that the dredge can teleport back to if a survivor doesn’t destroy it. So you will see a remnant every time the person playing dredge is holding the power button
