Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

I be the first to say I didn’t care for her 3 gen strat and always used her in chase merchant style but always felt off like it wasn’t supposed to be played that way so them changing her to be more chaise oriented and that was my fave thing about her has been a blast

also been doing aura reading with her undetectable in midwitch and made a twitch streamer yell by being jump scared twice

shes definitely feels a lot more oppressive and she’s defiantly good in anti loop as well defiantly not wesker or spirit levels of chase power but she’s defiantly better than legion maybe on par with pinhead idk I’m getting a lot value outta my power and that’s been consistent so far

she’s in a much healthier spot now! Again obviously this is the first week or something survivors need to learn her new power and adapt but these are my first impressions

also give skull merchant the spirit intro camera bug please

    i don't even understand how this power is even working. I put drones down at random places and survivor gets randomly injured across the map. the power is doing stuff but i have zero understanding to why it is working. I cannot imagine this being effective long term. this has to be novelty or am I just facing brand new survivors. so random.

    Yes right now people play quite carelessly against her. I went up against some meta-loaded 4 man swfs and won because of that. I think its like Sadako where it might take a while to come to a conclusion on where she stands.

    If you ask me, i think the fast activation time change is a step in the wrong direction, they should revert it and make the stealth mode scan a tiny bit faster. But i still do like her now, its been a good while since we got a trap Killer that doesn't suck. And i'm saying it as someone who very much hated Skull Merchant and trashed her on this forum btw.

    I was skeptical but after a few matches I was honestly impressed.

    Especially in indoor maps. Being able to control the drone's sweep direction is actually pretty useful in some cases. And I love running a stealth build on her, just as before.

    i think my main issue with current merchant is not enough drones. 6 drones is too little. it is like trapper 2.0 where he used to carry 1 trap and had 6 traps on the map. there is not enough drones to corral survivors into drones on a tactical scale however...the survivor i am playing against are just running into drones and acquiring random claw traps. I don't understand. Like i am not doing anything as killer and the power is gaining value. as a result, I am just major confused when playing skull merchant.

    Like I was expecting skull merchant to be extremely bad and yet I am somehow winning.

    Remember that the closest thing we have is Hag, who has a very low pick-rate and its been years since we got a trap type of Killer, hell if i remember correctly the last comparable Killer was the Freddy post-rework. So it might take people to get used to it because the low pick-rate of trap Killers conditioned people to just run around without looking or thinking that much.

    For now i enjoy her, especially with Blood Echo because that is a hard-counter to the stay injured with MfT strat that is going on.

    Following up to the last sentence. Give Artist that bug too.

    Regardless of the pursuit, survivors will only stop briefly before entering the drone's detection range for the third time. Management is forcing players to perform skits.

    Also unnerf Pyramid Heads cake and give him the bug too. He never deserved that massive nerf.

    I hope the rework is popular enough that I actually get to see her in my Survivor games, because she's got to be one of the rarest Killers to face in public matches.

    I think I've seen the Hag and The Twins more often than her. I've honestly only seen her once since her release tome.
