How to Actually Win as Killer in Forsaken — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00So you want to get better at killer,
2. 0:01then listen closely. You started the
3. 0:03chase with more stamina but still
4. 0:06couldn't catch the survivor, then you
5. 0:08might need to learn about pathing. Good
6. 0:10pathing looks like this
7. 0:13and bad pathing looks like this. Pathing
8. 0:16is basically how you move and choose
9. 0:18your route while chasing survivors.
10. 0:21To have good pathing, you need to take
11. 0:23corners as tightly as possible and run
12. 0:25in a straight line toward your target.
13. 0:27Don't drift around corners or randomly
14. 0:29move side to side. Just move clean and
15. 0:32direct.
16. 0:33You can also try to predict where the
17. 0:35survivor is going to run. If you know
18. 0:37their next route, cut them off and start
19. 0:40moving in that direction.
20. 0:42During a chase, you also need to watch
21. 0:44your stamina. This is called stamina
22. 0:46management. First, you want to start the
23. 0:49chase as close as possible and with as
24. 0:51much stamina as possible. You can do
25. 0:54this by recovering stamina while you are
26. 0:57getting close to the survivor and only
27. 1:00fully chasing when they start running.
28. 1:03If the survivor reaches a loop spot or a
29. 1:06place where they can't leave without
30. 1:08crossing you, you can stop for a moment,
31. 1:11fully recover your stamina, and start
32. 1:13the chase again.
33. 1:15This is called a chase reset. You do
34. 1:18this because if you keep chasing while
35. 1:19you have less stamina than the survivor,
36. 1:22you might never catch them.
37. 1:24Chase resets are also useful if you had
38. 1:26bad pathing and ended up in a stamina
39. 1:28disadvantage.
40. 1:30Also, never let your stamina hit zero.
41. 1:33You'll get punished and lose a lot of
42. 1:35distance. You can recover stamina when
43. 1:38there is a small object between you and
44. 1:40the survivor. If they keep running, you
45. 1:43already recovered some stamina.
46. 1:45If they stop, too, you can fully recover
47. 1:48and reset the chase. Ability usage might
48. 1:51be a little hard to understand, but I'll
49. 1:54explain it as simply as possible. Most
50. 1:56killer abilities are made to stop
51. 1:58survivors from looping you or to punish
52. 2:01them when they make a mistake. So,
53. 2:03whenever you use an ability, you need to
54. 2:06understand why you are using [music] it
55. 2:08and what value it gives you.
56. 2:11This value can be something like a
57. 2:12stamina advantage or forcing a survivor
58. 2:15to leave a certain spot. Don't use an
59. 2:18ability if you're not sure it's needed
60. 2:19right now, especially if missing it has
61. 2:22a big risk.
62. 2:23For example, Cool Kids Walk Speed
63. 2:26Override lets you cover a lot of
64. 2:28distance in a few seconds
65. 2:30>> [music]
66. 2:30>> while recovering stamina.
67. 2:32If it hits, it also deals a lot of
68. 2:34damage. You can use it to quickly close
69. 2:37distance at the start or middle [music]
70. 2:39of a chase,
71. 2:41punish a survivor for making a mistake,
72. 2:43or sometimes deal damage if the survivor
73. 2:46has low stamina or is stuck in a tight
74. 2:49space.
75. 2:50But, if you miss it at the wrong time,
76. 2:52you can completely lose the chase. So,
77. 2:55don't just throw it out randomly. Also,
78. 2:58read every killer's passive and active
79. 3:00ability descriptions. Some details are
80. 3:03easy to miss. For example, did you know
81. 3:06[music] 1 X's Entanglement pulls
82. 3:08survivors harder if they have the
83. 3:09glitched effect?
84. 3:11Or that survivors drop more orbs [music]
85. 3:15while running with the hemorrhage
86. 3:17effect? Some killer abilities can help
87. 3:19you start a chase from a much closer
88. 3:21distance. This is important because you
89. 3:24don't have to waste as much stamina just
90. 3:26to reach the survivor, which gives you a
91. 3:28much better chance to catch them.
92. 3:31For example, Nosferatu can use Ascension
93. 3:34to fly above a survivor, cancel the
94. 3:36ability, and land right in front of
95. 3:38them. His Hunter's Feast can also give
96. 3:40him invisibility after hitting a
97. 3:42survivor. You can use this to sneak up
98. 3:45on survivors before they react. Dash
99. 3:48abilities like Walk Speed Override or
100. 3:51Void Rush can also give you a head start
101. 3:54if you use them to close distance before
102. 3:56the real chase begins.
103. 3:58Now, let's talk about how to counter
104. 4:00[music] survivor looping.
105. 4:02To do this, you need to create a
106. 4:04situation where continuing the loop
107. 4:06becomes uncomfortable or not worth it
108. 4:08for the survivor. If you just keep
109. 4:10running after them, nothing is really
110. 4:12stopping them from looping you.
111. 4:15But if you place a wall, summon minions,
112. 4:18or gain a stamina advantage, the
113. 4:20survivor will be forced [music] to leave
114. 4:22the loop. Otherwise, they can just get
115. 4:25caught. During a chase, you can use a
116. 4:27trick called a double back. When doing
117. 4:30this, you make it look like you are
118. 4:32going in one direction, but then you
119. 4:34turn around and go back, catching the
120. 4:36survivor off guard.
121. 4:38This works really well around small
122. 4:40obstacles, because the survivor has very
123. 4:43little time to react to your turn,
124. 4:45[music] which gives you a much better
125. 4:46chance to catch them. You can also use
126. 4:49double backs at [music] loop spots, but
127. 4:51you need to be careful, because the
128. 4:53survivor might hear your footsteps
129. 4:55[music]
130. 4:56and start running in the other
131. 4:57direction. Also, don't overuse this
132. 4:59trick. [music]
133. 5:00If you rely on double backs too much and
134. 5:03the survivor doesn't fall for it,
135. 5:04[music] you can end up losing distance
136. 5:06instead of gaining it. Getting stunned
137. 5:09by survivors all the time can be
138. 5:10annoying, so let's talk about how to
139. 5:12play around stuns. You can react to a
140. 5:15survivor's windup,
141. 5:17but dodging every stun is really hard.
142. 5:20Still, you can learn how to avoid them
143. 5:22more consistently.
144. 5:24Survivors will often try to use a stun
145. 5:27when they are low on stamina. So, be
146. 5:29extra careful when your target might be
147. 5:31running out of stamina.
148. 5:33You also need to pay attention to your
149. 5:35surroundings. For example, Chance can
150. 5:38stun you from far away, so always watch
151. 5:41who is nearby and be ready to dodge
152. 5:43quickly to the side. Also, be careful
153. 5:46around corners when chasing someone
154. 5:47[music]
155. 5:48because stunning you from around a
156. 5:50corner is usually much easier than
157. 5:52stunning you in a direct chase. When you
158. 5:54attack, survivors can dodge your hits,
159. 5:57so don't rush your attacks. Try to react
160. 6:00[music] to their movement instead.
161. 6:02Usually, dodging is just a sudden turn
162. 6:05to one side or a full change of
163. 6:07direction, and you need to learn how to
164. 6:09catch that. Survivors usually start
165. 6:11dodging when the distance between you
166. 6:14and them gets very small and they are
167. 6:16almost in your attack range. So, this is
168. 6:19the moment where you need to be extra
169. 6:21careful. Most of the time, you can
170. 6:23simply stop moving for a moment when you
171. 6:25think the survivor is about to dodge.
172. 6:28This way, you don't waste stamina on
173. 6:31unnecessary movement and you can catch
174. 6:33them almost instantly after they dodge.
175. 6:36Sometimes, you might chase one survivor
176. 6:39for way too long. This can happen
177. 6:41because the survivor is really good or
178. 6:43because their team is helping them. If
179. 6:46you realize you already wasted too much
180. 6:48time on one survivor, for example,
181. 6:50around 2 minutes, it's usually better to
182. 6:53switch to someone else.
183. 6:54A good target can be a support survivor
184. 6:57because their help can make it much
185. 6:58harder to catch and kill other
186. 7:00survivors.
187. 7:01Once you get rid of the rest of the
188. 7:02team, you can come back to that same
189. 7:04player later. Without their team helping
190. 7:07them, you will have a much better chance
191. 7:09to catch them. Target priority is one of
192. 7:11the most important parts of playing
193. 7:13killer, if not the most important. It's
194. 7:16about choosing who you should chase at
195. 7:18the start of the round and [music] who
196. 7:20you should focus later. If you always
197. 7:22chase whoever is closest to you, you can
198. 7:25still win sometimes, but it's not
199. 7:27reliable. With bad target priority,
200. 7:30killing the whole survivor team can
201. 7:32become much harder or almost impossible.
202. 7:36But, we'll talk about who to leave for
203. 7:39last man standing in the next section
204. 7:42because that is also important.
205. 7:45When the round starts, you usually want
206. 7:47to target support survivors first.
207. 7:50Their main job is to help the team by
208. 7:52healing, protecting, or making it harder
209. 7:55for you to kill other survivors.
210. 7:58Builderman is one of the biggest
211. 7:59examples. He can heal survivors and also
212. 8:02slow you down with his sentry. So, if
213. 8:05you see Builderman on the survivor team,
214. 8:08you should usually try to target him
215. 8:09first. After supports, you have
216. 8:11sentinels and survivalists, and this is
217. 8:13where it becomes less simple.
218. 8:15From my experience, some of the most
219. 8:17important sentinels to kill early are
220. 8:20Two Time and Guest 1337
221. 8:24because they have very strong abilities
222. 8:26for stopping the killer and surviving
223. 8:29for a long time.
224. 8:31For survivalists, Veronica is usually
225. 8:34one of the best targets to kill early.
226. 8:36If you let her place her graffiti around
227. 8:39the map, she can become much harder to
228. 8:42kill later unless you break every
229. 8:44graffiti [music] first.
230. 8:46She also has a healing ability, and she
231. 8:49can make chasing her more annoying by
232. 8:51switching her skate [music] modes.
233. 8:53Most other survivalists usually don't
234. 8:56create the same level of threat, so
235. 8:58Veronica is often much more important to
236. 9:01deal with early. But who should you
237. 9:03actually leave for last man standing?
238. 9:06First, you need to understand that as
239. 9:08killer, you usually don't want to leave
240. 9:10survivors who are focused on
241. 9:12self-survival or survivors who have
242. 9:14strong abilities for staying alive by
243. 9:16themselves.
244. 9:18This means survivors who are comfortable
245. 9:20in a long chase without needing help
246. 9:22from their team.
247. 9:24For example, Noob is a bad survivor to
248. 9:26leave for last man standing because
249. 9:29Noob's whole ability kit is built around
250. 9:31self-survival.
251. 9:32Two Time is also dangerous to leave
252. 9:35because Two Time has a stun that can
253. 9:37heal on a successful hit. So, who should
254. 9:40you leave instead? Usually, you want to
255. 9:43leave survivors who can't survive long
256. 9:46and consistently in a solo chase.
257. 9:48This includes most [music] support
258. 9:50survivors because their abilities are
259. 9:52more focused on helping the team than
260. 9:55surviving alone. A good example is Duece
261. 9:58[music] Eck Carr.
262. 9:59He can be useful when helping his team,
263. 10:02but in a solo chase, he doesn't have
264. 10:04strong tools to defend [music] himself
265. 10:07from the killer.
266. 10:09Some sentinels can also be fine to
267. 10:11leave, like Chance.
268. 10:13After he uses his shot, he doesn't have
269. 10:15another easy way to [music] stun you
270. 10:17unless he uses his coin, which gives him
271. 10:19weakness and makes him take more damage.
272. 10:23So, in general, don't leave survivors
273. 10:25who are comfortable in solo chases. Try
274. 10:28to kill those survivors earlier and
275. 10:30leave someone who is less dangerous by
276. 10:32themselves, like a support or [music] a
277. 10:34sentinel who can't threaten you as much
278. 10:36in last man standing. Of course, target
279. 10:39priority always depends on the current
280. 10:41round and the survivor team. You don't
281. 10:44have to kill every support or every
282. 10:45[music] sentinel first. Just look at the
283. 10:48situation and decide who is the safest
284. 10:50survivor to leave for last man standing.
