Playing against the Unkown...

Is very fun! I feel like the killer hits a good balance of being able to get some really good hits and plays without feeling completely unbeatable. Even at regular pallets the power is strong and can get a hit anywhere but can't guarentee one which keeps the survivors on their toes about how the killer may approach a given situation and if the survivor does manage to dodge they may of brought enough time to become unweakened which punishes the killers for recklessly trying to get hits and wasting time. Outside of chase is what I personally like and how it all ties together. Weakened isn't just some "find killer objective and heal" kind of third health state, it's kinda permanent outside of chase unless you wish to actively hunt the killer down and the hallucination also want to be hunt down to deny the map mobility of the killer. It's similar to killers like Hag or Ghostface but with a reliable enough chase power to provide a threat to those chasing it. The cherry on the cake being the style of it all, urban horror is spooky and the twisted design alongside the music adds an air creepiness. I'm glad they didn't go over board with voice lines as it stops the from feeling too repeatative or corny which would of clashed with everything else that makes the killer works well but the existance of the lines that exist compliment what is there.

I would play it but my mouse is not working properly right now so not much point me playing killer but I was wondering what other people felt of it? Killer looks fun to play and I can't wait to be able to play it.😊

    I like him a lot so far. My only worry is with aura reading and indoor maps like Lery's he might become overbearing with the splash going through walls and being unable to cleanse weakness as easily

    He feels fun and enjoyable for both sides. Good design overall.

    Although I can see the concern I don't think it's a massive issue. The blast radius from the attack is relatively small so most the time you can space yourself away from the wall to avoid a hit. This gives up distance of course but I feel like that's apart of the risk that comes with playing against this style of killer.

    I think he's very enjoyable to play against and also to play as. As a Survivor its so fun for me to chase him because hir UVX is just predict and dodge, so is it for me when i play him... predict where the Survivor is running.

    Unknown is pretty fun to go against, I agree!

    Fun to play as and makes me laugh at how goofy it looks when I play against.

    I love going against the Unknown. It's fun trying to predict where he's going to launch his loogie and try to evade it. Some of my killer main friends have been having a blast playing as him too. Seems like he's a pretty balanced killer. Big W for BHVR.

    I enjoy playing against him which is rare for a modern DBD killer. He isn't pathetically weak and the counterplay exists. PLEASE don't give him a bunch of unnecessary buffs that make him unbearable to go against.

    I think he has too many mechanics going on. His teleport is way over the top.

    I think he's weak in some ways, and very strong in others. And I'm okay with that. I do think the projectile is very easy to avoid though once you know how it works. Maybe more consistency with the bounces?
