Execution Wheel is an External Trait that belongs to The Breaking Wheel, The Will Brothers. As an external trait, it is a passive ability that the character starts the game with, different from Abilities that Hunters earn by acquiring presence.

Trait Details[]

Description[]

The Will Brothers can "assemble" themselves into a wheel:
In wheel form, they will gain a massive speed boost. When they exceed a certain speed, they can crush pallets, but their ability to change directions is hindered.
In such form, they can't launch Normal Attacks or perform general interactions and will be immune to control effects.

Gameplay[]

The Breaking Wheel can change between their Human Form and Wheel Form with each form having their own unique abilities, and statistics that can help them depending on the situation.

Hunter Tips

  • The wheel form can travel through short Priestess portals and are unable to get affected with the usual stun and insteas stop for a split second and continue to move forward.
  • Female Dancer's slow Music Boxes do slow them down in wheel form, but not enough to keep them from breaking Pallets. Use this to your advantage as as long as you be able to maneuver them correctly, as a single music box hinders them with next to no great effect.
  • The controls are similar to most mobile racing games, people who had played these types of games before may found similarities and greater mastering over the controls than most other players.
  • It is generally advised to play the brothers with a larger screen and processing power or PC than in most phones due to their complicated steering mechanic. An advantage has been proven to be present over larger screen devices and PC.
  • Due to their extremely fast speed, players are advised to have a very optimal ping/internet speed and device performance as even at normal speed, the brothers may cause great amount of lag for the user and may have abnormal steering qualities if played on high ping/low internet speed devices and circumstances.
  • Holding down the drift button is an advised strategy when dealing with survivors that are looping around certain obstacles. This allows you to be able to make tighter turns around the obstacles and quickly hit the survivor instead of constantly changing forms in order to ease yourself from dealing with a survivor on some weak spots.

Survivor Tips

  • The wheel form can sometimes be avoided by running in circles in an open area. This can cause the wheel to be locked into a circular turn and unable to run over the survivor.
  • Grave Keeper will not be affected with new stacks of Pierce from wheel form if he is burrowed with his Shovel. Wheel form will not break him out of the ground and as such, Grave Keepers are able to waste some time if targeted by a clumsy TBW player. He's among one of the only survivors with an ability that is able to nullify their wheel form.

Trivia[]

  • A nerf for The Breaking Wheel was implemented shortly after their release on April 8, changing the cooldown times (from 5 sec to 7 sec), and how long abilities will last (such as removal of Pierce and duration of Wheel of Impalement).
