[New Survivor]

  • Identity: Reporter
  • Background: Films are silent, but memories are not. External Traits:
  • Exclusive: The Reporter carries a camera. She can switch between camera angles and generate illusions under different angles.
    • [Containing Angle] The illusion will move to a pallet that hasn't been knocked down. When the Hunter is in a position that can be hit by the pallet, the illusion will pull down the pallet and disappear. The recovery speed of the Hunter stunned by the illusion increases by 30%. When the pallet is pulled down early, the illusion will also disappear. The Hunter will take 20% longer to destroy the pallet that was pulled down by the illusion. When the distance between the illusion and a teammate is less than 12 meters, the illusion's depletion speed is increased by 50%. When the illusion is active, casting this ability again will make it disappear.
    • [Rescuing Angle] When a teammate has been tied to a Rocket Chair and is less than 25 meters from the Reporter, the illusion will move to the closest Rocket Chair and rescue the teammate. If the teammate on the Rocket Chair is rescued by another Survivor, the illusion will disappear. Under this angle, when the illusion is less than 20 meters from the Hunter, its outline will be shown to the Hunter.
    • Generates an illusion in front of you. Press and hold to charge up and generate an illusion at a specified location. Under the Rescuing Angle, illusions cannot be generated within 5 meters of a Rocket Chair that has a Survivor on it.
  • Surveying Angle: The illusion's movement speed and interaction speed are consistent with the Survivor. It can take one normal attack, but the Hunter won't gain any Presence. The recovery speed of the Hunter after hitting the illusion increases by 30%. When either the Reporter or the illusion is hit, both of them will gain a speed boost. If the illusion is hit, the Reporter's speed boost will increase by 1 second. If the Reporter is equipped with the Tide Turner talent and the illusion under the Rescuing Angle has rescued a teammate, the rescued teammate will also receive Tide Turner's effect. When the Reporter and the illusion are less than 8 meters from each other, the Reporter's Movement Speed is increased by 10% (7% increase for the illusion).
  • Investigative Reporting: The Reporter hates the sound of metal scraping and so her decoding speed is reduced by 10%. Whenever the illusion is knocked down, the Reporter's decoding speed is further reduced by 3% for up to 9%.
  • "Courage": The Reporter's childhood has bestowed her with exceptional "courage" in the face of terror, decreasing the Rocket Chair's elimination speed by 10%.

Penalties for Violations

It has recently come to our attention that a small number of players have violated our code of conduct through delaying tactics, intentionally losing, idling, playing negatively, using cheats, cheating in Blackjack mode, and hindering matchmaking for top-ranked matches, all of which significantly affect the experience of other players. We have started punishing these violations in order to provide a healthy gaming environment for everyone. We also encourage you to use the in-game reporting system to provide us with feedback when encountering the behaviors above. Let us work together to maintain order and integrity in the Manor.

[New Survivor]
  • Name: Lily Barriere
  • Identity: Cheerleader
  • Introduction: "Go to the Manor and reclaim what is mine, and I will redeem what is yours."
  • External Traits:
    • Motivate
      • The Cheerleader carries her pompoms around. Tap the button to wave her pompoms and cheer herself up, increasing her Movement Speed by 70% for 4 seconds, but her Movement Speed will subsequently decrease by 40% for 4 seconds. The Movement Speed reduction from Motivate can be removed by a new Movement Speed boost from Motivate.
    • Inspire
      • The Cheerleader selects a Survivor and inspires them for 10 seconds. Each Survivor can only be inspired 2 times.
      • Inspire: If a teammate's main item is on cooldown, reduces its cooldown by 20 seconds (reduces by 30 seconds when used on herself).
  • Encourage
    • Select a teammate within your field of vision and encourage them, increasing Movement Speed for you and the teammate by 5% while Encourage lasts.
      • Encourage: While the Cheerleader waves her arms, tap the ability button to sync with the beat. Every successful sync provides a stack of Encourage to teammates, and teammates will then receive 5 stacks of Encourage, which can be consumed to use Cheerful and Excited. Teammates can have up to 45 Encourage stacks at a time.
      • Cheerful: Teammates can consume 5 stacks of Encourage to receive a 50% Movement Speed boost for 1.5 seconds, but Movement Speed will subsequently decrease by 50% for 0.75 seconds once the boost expires. Cooldown: 7 seconds.
      • Excited: Knocked-down teammates can consume 28 stacks of Encourage within 3 seconds of being knocked down to recover 50% Fear instantly and increase Movement Speed by 50% for 1 second. Encourage stacks will be removed after recovery. The 2nd/3rd and above usages of Excited by the same character increase Encourage consumption to 38/43 stacks.
      • The Cheerleader can interact normally while Encourage is active. When there are more than 20 meters between the Cheerleader and her teammates or when there is a large height difference between them, teammates cannot obtain more stacks, but the existing stacks will remain for 10 seconds. When multiple Cheerleaders are in a match, Encourage cannot be used on other Cheerleaders.
    • All Thumbs
      • The Cheerleader suffers from early psychosis caused by childhood trauma and is unable to accurately discern her surroundings, reducing her decoding speed by 10%.

[New Map - Kreiburg Racecourse]
  • About the Central Cipher Machine: As the name suggests, the Central Cipher Machine is located at the center of the map. Decoding the Central Cipher Machine provides Survivors with a 7% Decoding Speed Boost when decoding other Cipher Machines. However, if the Central Cipher Machine is not decoded for 10 seconds, its Decoding Progress will diminish by 1% per second, up to 15% in a single match.
  • About Horseback Riding: There are three stables on the map, each with a horse for Survivors and a carriage for Hunters. Survivors and Hunters can interact with them to start riding. Horses and carriages can only move along the racecourse and cannot leave the tracks.
  • About Dismounting: Survivors will dismount when their horse reaches the next stable. Survivors can also choose to dismount when the horse is approaching the stable, but cannot dismount at any other locations. After dismounting, Survivors must wait 40 seconds before riding a horse again. Hunters, however, can exit the carriage at any location. The carriage will also continue to move even after reaching a stable. Hunters do not have to wait to ride the carriage again after exiting.
  • About Spur: Survivors can perform a Spur while riding to increase the horse's Movement Speed for a short period. The Hunter's carriage can perform unlimited Spurs with low cooldowns.
  • About Charge: Upon performing Spur with the carriage, Hunters can Charge at any horse in their path and both the Hunter and the Survivor will stop riding after the collision. Survivors can avoid collisions by moving left and right or by performing a Spur. Survivors or Hunters on the track will be stunned after colliding with a horse or carriage.
  • About Tunnels: There are three tunnels that cut through the Kreiburg Racecourse. Survivors can consume all of their Stamina at the entrance of these tunnels to pass through them quickly. Stamina will begin to recover after 7 seconds. Survivors will receive Terror Shock when they're hit while passing through a tunnel.
[New Hunter - "Fool's Gold"]
  • Name: Norton Campbell
  • Profession: "Fool's Gold"
  • Background: With the desire to escape from a life in the darkness of the mines, Norton Campbell believes the Manor will present him with another new "opportunity."
[External Traits]
  • Unstable Ground
    • When "Fool's Gold" strikes an obstacle with his pickaxe, an unstable ground extends 15 meters in both directions from the point of impact and covers all adjacent obstacles. Striking the unstable ground with the pickaxe again or removing the pickaxe from the unstable ground would cause a Collapse.
    • Collapse: Striking an unstable ground with the pickaxe or removing the pickaxe from the unstable ground would cause a Collapse. Collapse deals 0.5x normal attack damage to nearby Survivors.
[*Initial Abilities]
  • Magnetic Conduction (Cooldown: 6 seconds).
    • Throwing the special magnetic pickaxe and striking an obstacle creates unstable ground. Subsequent throws that hit the unstable grounds would cause a Collapse. If the pickaxe does not hit an obstacle, this ability will receive a 2-second cooldown reduction after the pickaxe is retrieved.
    • Magnetic Extension: The pickaxe is an extension of "Fool's Gold's" senses and helps him locate "opportunities" from afar. After throwing the pickaxe, it can stay away from "Fool's Gold" for up to 10 seconds, during which "Fool's Gold" can complete most actions such as attacking, vaulting over windows, and destroying pallets. Once this period is over or when "Fool's Gold" is more than 60 meters away from the pickaxe, it will automatically return to him.
    • Magnetic Retrieval: "Fool's Gold" can swiftly recall the pickaxe when it's thrown and cause a Collapse when the pickaxe is removed from an obstacle.
    • Attraction
      • "Fool's Gold" is attracted to more than just the electromagnetic field. "Fool's Gold" can manipulate the special attraction between his body and the pickaxe to move swiftly toward his pickaxe and retrieve it. If "Fool's Gold" is stopped during this process due to reasons such as colliding with an obstacle, the pickaxe will still fly back into his grasp.
[Tier I Ability]
  • Magnetic Conversion (Cooldown: 25 seconds).
    • Convert a rock up to 60 meters away into a Magnetic Rock with a special magnetic pull. The Magnetic Rock creates a small unstable ground and lasts for 20 seconds.
    • Resonance: Whenever a Collapse happens, all Magnetic Rocks resonate and cause a Collapse in their respective unstable grounds. The transmission time of the resonance increases with distance.
[Tier II Ability]
  • Instant Reaction (Cooldown: 20 seconds)
    • "Fool's Gold" charges up the pickaxe and activates an Instant Reaction when thrown. Instant Reaction immediately causes a Collapse to obstacles outside of unstable grounds and creates an unstable ground. Charging Time: 3 seconds.
