How do you like this idea of a killer power?

There is few mistakes in the text btw. You can't pass the map walls of course.

    It looks like a weird love-child between Wraith and Hag, not sure how it would work in-game.

    However, not being able to see survivors when "Observer" and having to rely on them triggering traps, or leaving "Observer" leaves much room for issues.

    Question: Is there a cooldown on switching between the states - If not that's very broken.

    It sounds like the fusion between the Evil Dead game killer role, and Hag, haha.

    Not sure how it would work, but food for thought.

    The shadow figures sound like Identity V's "Hell Ember". That one also has 2 helpers he can place as wards or activate as ai hunters.

    You concept sounds interesting, but finnicky. Either they can ambush survs too essily on gens or camp the hook, afterall they DO see gens or hooks; Or their lack of vision cripples them into uselessness. Might not be that bad tho, if they can see blood and scratches, but I personally dislike taking away vision, thats why i never bought spirit.

    Having no collision with geometry might break this killer, or make them "too OP, plz nerf". Traps and shadow clones are nice, but walking through a wall and just hitting a survivor might become a thing depending on how the summoned state is implemented.

    You might put more details on HOW the abilities works when you press the buttons.

    • M2: stationary placing traps like hag/trapper or casting a spell like freddy?
    • Space: teleport to triggered traps instantly like hag or with cast time like freddy? Additionally, is the movement instantly like hag or with travel time like demogorgon?
    • Strg Ctrl: mode Swapping: instant like spirit ambush or slow like sadako and wraith?
    • Traps: trigger distance and delay, shadows probably spawn in the center of the trap.

    Personally I'm not convinced of the Movement speed boost in Summoned state and on those shadows. MS is one of those especially impactful variables. Im not directly saying its too high, but DBD IS using MS to balance abilities.
