Hunter Tips

• Excitement is a practical way of countering Antiquarian as it removes your Disarm debuff and other negative effects from Antiquarian.
• Be careful where you are going, as you could possibly be knocked to the side or back and become stunned.
• Antiquarian cannot move during her Sweep, Swing and Stab animation, bait her to miss her attacks and attack her during her animation.
• Use alternate attacks to damage Antiquarian since she cannot silence your hunter's abilities.
• Hunters on the roller coaster in Moonlit River Park will not be knocked out of it by her Sweep, Swing, or Stab.
• Similarly, Hunters will not be knocked down holes or on the big opening on the second follow on Sacred Heart Hospital.

Survivor Tips

• Take advantage of the movement speed increase to try and gain some distance.
• If needed, use the flute to possibly slow down or stun the hunter.
  • Stab action is faster and has a longer range than Sweep and Swing action.
• Your disarm doesn't silence abilities, that includes abilities such as Rocket Dash that can damage you.
• Using the flip ability can come in handy as it can help with gaining distance without having to worry about being hit or possibly being Terror Shocked
  • You are able to use flip in order to vault over waxed pallets, but not fully waxed windows.
  • Similarly, the Clerk's Invalid ability will be ignored if using flip to vault over an object blocked by said ability.
