This Community in a Nutshell

Yeah, it just to show, if you master Blight you are basically unbeatable, I dont think that BHVR should release S+ tier killers like Blight or Nurse

I am only more and more convinced with every response that people are conflating her current balance with her core concept.

Yes, right now it's hard to utilise her kit because it's undertuned. But, as I said up there, if her information and stealth were more consistent and powerful, and you still can't see how that's a worthwhile power, that's on you.

Oh no, you touched wesker's name, RE fans will riot in this thread

someone made the mistake of doing it in twitter and the guy went missing

but for real now, aside from the (maybe worst mori ever) the killer is fine, but for the community suddenly BHV doesn't care about the players cause of this chapter lol

Exactly, just play Nurse,Blight,Wesker. Same thing

If we had more killers of a similar power level to Nurse and Blight, higher level play will see more variety.

I'm less sure on the concept working.

If we pare it back to 'traps areas for info+effect on survivors in area, survivors can disable and get [STATUS]', maybe. But that doesn't mean her issues are simply a matter of balance. To be a good release, we're talking a big rework on visuals, numbers, secondary effects, an add-on pass, and there's still the open question of whether having something a little bit more, even if it's something small like a lunge change, would be warranted with a power that has such passive effects.

The vague outline is okay, but the concept that's actually been implemented needs a rethink.

Drone radius visuals, and whether it's even a good idea to make the tracking component reliant on holding a secondary button to view (on top of, at minimum, deploy and check tracker being on the wrong keys given which one you need to hold down and check); all the numbers might need some changing (not one or two); whether the drones should need visuals if it's supposed to be an area effect; whether the claw traps should actually do something else if they're going to have such a meagre duration and go away on hook; a return of a plague of underwhelming add-ons which seem geared to not address much of the kit's downsides...

At the least, that's verging on a rework, especially if you want to move her to less of a "my power does something only when Survivor's make a huge goof or ignore it" type thing to actively extracting value and making disabling the drones more attractive outside of being trapped in a 3gen, but also actually have a downside.

The active info it gives isn't even that great compared to most aura reading effects, and the whole 'if you did that I now have an idea where you must be because you did that'.

Yeah, like this killer at least has the chance to keep players off of gens (have to get off gens to interact with drones or risk Exposed, which in turn negates the reviled Dead Hard). So if set up at the start of the game is efficient, she can challenge gen rushers. She's undetectable in an active drone zone as well, so indoor maps are going to be tough and survivors won't get as much advanced warning when getting into chase. I think she has plenty going for her personally. I get that alot of people are disappointed though, and that's fine. I had zero expectations, even after seeing the teaser so I think she's decent.

checks notes...

i'll get back to you on that.

That’s my issue with her. WHY does she give so much information to survivors? It would be the equivalent of Hags traps having the ashy aura be seen by survivors so they know not to go there. Turn that off for survivors and have them actually look around for the drones manually. Like with any other placement Killer power.
