Krasue desperately needs buffs

Any news on the new killer yet? Did BHVR say they were gonna buff er a bit or no? I feel like nobody is talking about her after the first 2 days, and unless I missed it nobody gave feedback here rly?

I'll start with something positive: Everything visual about Krasue is fantastic. Kudos to the team responsible for that. From looks to animations I feel like Krasue is my favorite since 2016.

Now the negative. I'm a bit worried since BHVR thought she would be S tier somehow… If we are being generous she is a B tier at best, and that is only because of her mobility/map pressure options. Anyone whose been playing as long as me can probably also tell that if she releases as she was on PTB, she will get absolutely destroyed versus efficient lobbies, She needs to waste way to much time setting up in order to get injures and downs.

Also keep in mind that Krasue will be one of the highest learning curves/skill ceilings in the game. So the vast majority of Krasue will be very easy to loop, unless they spend a ridiculous amount of time perfecting that tiny little (almost non existent) curve she can do, that only works on very specific loops anyway.

Another one of her biggest problems, even tho I more or less understand why they did it, is that she cannot break pallets in head form. Which makes many loops god loops, having to waste that very long animation to change forms. I feel like form changing should be faster to counter this. Another fix would be to allow headform dash to curve around corners, or at the very least allow her to wall hug like Chucky. But she defo needs something to counter the negatives.
Yes she can vault pallets, but when perfectly timed (which I have alrdy seen many survivors do) they can just vault behind you before you can hit them. There is too much delay on her head form M1 hit.

Right now she is a mix of other killers in what she can do, but does it worse than all of em. So why would anyone choose her over the other killers she borrows her skillset from?

A) Unknown: Doesn't have to change forms AND can get injures/downs with his bouncy ball. Generally just better AND easier at loops. Also has even better map pressure due to teleport.

B) Plague: Getting rid of infection is a lot easier against Krasue, shrooms seems to be literally everywhere and more numerous, compared to the cleanse shrines from plague. Also when survivors do cleanse, they give more power to plague.

C) Chucky: Better dash, yes even after his undeserved nerfs. I used to main Chucky and I feel like even he can still get injures/downs much easier than Krasue. Personally, I concider Chucky C tier at this time. Krasue only has a better potential at map pressure over him, but what does that matter if you cannot get any quick downs?

No combination of all of her skillset justifies her being weak in all these areas, not even her mobility as her only positive. She is going to need buffs or release in a very weak state.

Feel free to add to this if I missed something about her. BHVR could really use a win after the last few months, I think Krasue will be an important update to fix a lot of the bitter feelings within the playerbase.

    Most of the feedback on krasue would be under the ptb feedback tab further down the list

    As for her being a mix of 3 killers but weaker at all 3, dracula tends to have the same deal being wesker/nemi/spirit but weaker at all 3 of them, its his adaptability that makes him strong changing characters mid chase. (I also main dracula at p100)

    From what i played in the ptb, the reason there are mushrooms everywhere is because everytime you go into headform, the body you leave makes a mushroom on that spot, so the more often you change, and where you change, gives people more/less mushrooms that are easier/harder to find. But i consider her expose effect to be more like a skull merchant/sadako deal where you dont need to get them exposed/condemned, but if you want it badly enough you can ensure 1 person cant even use a mushroom by spitting on them again (which is an extremely easy to use splash projectile) or hitting then with the headform dash (while infected or re overing with the mushroom).

    Im also unsure if hooking someone removes the infection at all because if it doesnt, that means she has full control over denying most of the team mushrooms to cure themselves (they also apparently spawn periodicly but slowly)

    I enjoyed what i played with her as i didnt really care if they cured themselves with mushrooms i just spit, infect, then chased with the head. Seemed to work out well enough. Every killer in yhe game struggles against competent teams juse some more than others. I think shed be like artist level against the higher groups. As my first main was xeno and hes just unplayable in higher mmr lol.

    At PTB she is already A tier killer with high skill ceiling, what is lovely place to be imo. It's really rare when killer barely needs any changes from PTB, but that's the case.

    Some people think she is weak/mid, but give her time, you will see her potential on release. I hope she won't be nerfed at least.

    i legitmately looked for one and didn't spot it :(

    Edit: I see PTB sub forums for every language, except English, which is very weird btw….

    How would you concider her A tier tho? She is weaker than unknown, without a doubt, and unkown is concidered A tier…

    I dont need to "wait and see" btw, im a 2016 player, I alrdy know how the game works, and I can see what she does. I compare that to everything else in the roster and truly cannot justify putting her anywhere above B (generous B).

    Yes, but Dracula actually has useful anti loop though. Dracula is nothing to complain about. Krasue only has her mobility as a positive, cause the vast majority of loops don't allow her to hit survivors in headform, at least not half decent survivors and up. The headform barely curves, which means you need very straight stretches to get a hit. I personally believe Krasue is one of the easiest to verse killers in the game right now (or at least in PTB). It is so easy to use her weaknesses against her and that dash is barely anything to worry about unless you are holding W… How do ppl not see this?

    Just for clarity sake, I'm looking at Krasue through the eyes of a survivor right now, since that is what I have most hours in in the last 2 years. I don't see how any Krasue could be downing me in any acceptable timely manner from PTB…

    ps: thanks for at least putting down arguments… everyone else is just downvoting and not counter arguing. Appreciate it <3

    I can't find this post? troll?

    Edit: I can find other ppl referring to this screenshot, but not a link to it anywhere…? I assume since even Hens linked the screenshot, that it isn't fake? If that is the case, I am very happy with these changes as it pretty much adresses everything I mentioned.

    Possibly, but instagram must have gotten it from Twitter/X… And I cant find a single post about it on Twitter/X… I dont understand. Its very obvious from the screenshot that it got sourced from Twitter/X. Did BHVR delete it or something? I'm not going to make a instagram account just to see if the post is real :D Its just so weird this entire thing…
