KILLER MACHANIC IDEA

Killer mechanic: Brace

When you hit a q or e, you brace in that direction (q being left, e being right).

When a survivor drops a ballet, and you time your brace correctly, you stop the pallet from breaking and get a free hit on the survivor.

If you brace too late, you get stunned by the pallet.

When you do a brace action, you suffer from a movement speed penalty as if you missed a lunge.

If you brace too soon on a pallet drop, it either lets the survivor run another loop around, or you get stunned on the pallet drop.

The pallet is not used if you successfully pull off a brace.

This mechanic is meant to add new mind games, a higher skill cap to all killers, and to make pallets more of a risk to use.

    Neat concept not going to lie

    I like it, but this would have to be something close to frame perfect to balance it, and also makes a good killer scary because they can shear through defenses.

    Dark Souls meets Dead by Daylight the new parry system begins yay. This mechanic is amazing, but once you get the timing down basically just means the end of survs in general.

    Maybe it can be a perk where you can use "brace" once for every 3 successful hits on a survivor? It can be an alternative to spirit fury instead of being part of the base kit
